School magazine research

High profile magazine

This is the school magazine for an all girl secondary school. I believe that it is aimed mainly at the parents of the pupils, as it explains all about the trips that students are going (as shown in the picture) and the events going on at the school, which would make the school seem like the right place to be sending their child, as there is lots going on that would keep the pupils happy, educated and gaining knowledge through other means than just sitting at a desk and writing.

As well as this the title and text are very plain colours (black and white) and in a simple, plain font. Though it does stand out against the background picture, it is not as eye catching as other magazine titles.This shows that they were not designed to attract the eye of younger people, as if this was the case the text would be brighter, chunkier and more eye catching. Older people wouild be more attracted to the information given rather than bright colourful titles and pictures.

The picture that takes up the entire background, as is common with most school magazines. It clearly shows a pupil hiking/ rock climbing and looks very about it. There is a beautiful mountain, or hill, in the background which draws the viewers eye. This again is to show that the pupils are given the chance to go on amazing school trips and activities, that maybe other schools would not offer. As well as this it tells parents that the pupils are happy about going to this school and enjoy the trips. This is shown by ther massive grin on the mouth of the pupil that takes up most of the picture.
