School Magazine Annotations

This school magazine does not have the same connotations as normal magazines; this could be because it is meant to be sold to a narrower target audience. It also does not have a price or bar-code, this is due to it not being sold in shops; it may be an on-line edition of the magazine or it could have the bar-code and price on the back of the magazine. As in most magazines there is a cover model, however it is not someone who is well known or famous, or even a photographic model. Similarly as in most magazines they have used a puff to try and persuade the target audience to buy it; this is in the form of a competition where the reader could win a prize.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the school magazine that is shown here is very basic and so would not attract many people from the target audience. In my opinion the magazine does not have many features that attract me to it, however this is largely because I do not think I am the target audience for the magazine. This research has been incredibly valuable as it shows that I need to make my cover photo as attractive as possible for the reader to actually want to buy it. I will defiantly consider putting a variety of fonts and colours as the school magazine shown above does not do this which means it is quite plain an boring and not eye-catching at all.
