Research:

·         Target audience would be to students aged between 13  & 18 because my genre is school and this would be the age where the students would actually be interested in what’s happening in school and they would be intrigued to read my ‘True Life Story’ articles because they have this sense of drama which appeals to the teenage mind.

·         The front cover of the magazine will make it clear to some of the genres within the magazine. For example on the front cover there will be quotes of human interest stories, poetry, and future news stories.

Font:

My chosen font is century because I like the idea of it looking old. I think that this creates a bit of mystery to the magazine, and it makes the words look appealing. E.g.

I ENJOY READING MAGAZINES.

I enjoy reading magazines.

Size:

I would like my magazine to be produced at an A3 size because I think it makes the magazine become more convenient. I prefer a smaller magazine because they are easier to carry around which means it will be easier for the buyer to carry and keep in their bags. If the magazine was A4 it becomes a chore to carry it around or keeping it in your bag without damaging it, plus most magazines are printed in A4 so it would be good to standout and have a way of being identified amongst other magazines.
