I have implemented a multitude of conventions into the product, one of which is the utilisation of the rule of three. This dictates that the magazine abides by three different colours and no more. By doing this, the magazine is more simplistic and flows better. Additionally, I have used the Z-style layout. This is one of the key layouts used by magazines which makes the product that much more realistic.
The barcode was placed on the magazine as a mark of authenticity, not as a practical measure.
How have your represented your chosen social groups?
The target audience for the magazine is sixth formers and their guardians. Therefore, I have appealed to their attention by including articles that they feature in. The main story is prize giving, which was the largest event the school had to offer them. Finally, I have placed the heathland school logo into the magazine in order to assimilate the magazine with the school.
How would the school distribute this magazine and why?
They would hand the magazine to all sixth formers while they are in form time/lesson. This allows the magazine to reach them, and by extension, their guardians (because they will pass it on to family members).
What have you learnt throughout this task?
I have become adept at using Photoshop, and have learnt magazine conventions. I have also understood the process of creating a magazine and the multiple parties that must be involved. In addition to this, I have learnt how to use Google's search bar more efficiently, to find what I need
