School magazine

My school magazine is based at sixth form pupils who are around the age of 16-18. I have chose to have this age range as my target audience as I am within the 16-18 category so I know what conventions they would expect along with what is appropriate. My school magazine is called 'School Life', I seen this as an appropriate masthead as straight away the target audience understand that this magazine is based at school pupils.

The colour scheme I have used is red and black. I chose this colours as my magazine is aimed at both genders within the sixth form environment  I chose red and black as they are colours which people may link with both genders. I didn't chose a colour like pink as stereotypically pink is a colour which is related to girls whereas my magazine is aimed at both boys and girls. You can straight away tell my magazine is aimed at sixth form pupils as one of the pieces of anchorage text says 'Which A-Level path you take?'. A-Levels are only something you do when you are in sixth form, so the target audience can understand what age range my magazine is aimed at.

On my school magazine I have got two images, one of the library with a range of A-Level textbooks on and an image of a sixth for student working within the library. Again this helps the audience understand the target audience.
