I have chosen to call my magazine 'The Sixth Form Centre and Lordswood Girls School' because this is the name of the school i have attended. The significant words which i have used are 'sixth form centre' this suggest that the school offers places to a wide range of people. The front covers main image is of two girls this suggests that the school is a girls school. Whereas on the contents page there is a image of a male sixth former this suggests that the sixth form is open to both males and females. 

This magazine is aimed at sixth formers so they know what is happening in the sixth form and what is being offered to them and wither the school is the right choice for them. It is quiet visible that the magazine this aimed at sixth forms due to the images and straplines used on the cover and contents page. The reader interacts with the magazine by the straplines which relate to them and which is something they would like to do.

On the front cover of my magazine I have an enlarged image on the background of a sixth form drama lesson. Using Photoshop I have blurred the image this makes the cover look more interesting and attractive. This is an advantage, as it will enable the target audience view how entertaining the sixth form is and what sort of subjects they offer. This lets us that the target audience are young and what to learn to achieve higher. There is also a school logo on the magazine, which allows the target audience to see what sixth form the magazine is form. The cover also contains straplines, which consist of the information, which is in the magazine this with attract the target audience to pick the magazine up and read it. The images and straplines are used on the magazine to create a centre of attention to the audience and persuade them to come to the sixth form. I have used a colour scheme on the cover and contents page to keep it simple and professional. I think that the magazine does look similar to other magazines and it encloses similar aspects to other magazines.

This is a free magazine as it provides information to students about the school and sixth form in order to attract there attention and also to give them a reason for why they would chose this sixth form over others. This magazine is neither cheap nor expensive as it involves information about education. Although on the other hand it would need to look representative to attract students.

The magazine would contain results of other and past year groups to show other students, which do not attend the school or sixth form centre, what they can achieve if they do decide to join. It would also explain information about school events and activities that students can be involved in. This implies that the school offers much more than just the basic subjects. Subjects, which are covered, are school council, A Level and GCSE results, learning skills and a lot more.
