I decided that my magazine will have a simple title and subheading making the magazine stand out and include a image of someone or something and make it stand out to attract the eye of the audience.
i looked at different magazine covers to get an idea of what i wanted my magazine to look like.

I picked this magazine becuase the title once again is very simple but catchy, this magazine also has detail as what is going to be in the magazine , the main part in the magazine.
the colour of the title is pink and bold the background is white and has an image of a lady which stands out and also makes you wonder why shes on the front cover of the page. this also make the reader want to look inside, this could be an idea for me to take a picture of a person or a group of people to make the audience want to look inside myt magazine.

I chose this magazine as an idea for a nice simple title. i looked at the magazine to see how organised it is and the techniques they use to make a succesfull magazine cover by using a strong image and a bold title.
this picture also has a nice subheading which is put ontop of the image to stand out, it is a question so it makes you wonder whats is she going to say about herself.
that makes me think that putting a question on the front cover might make the audience want to read it.
the colour of the magazine is also very simple it is black, grey and white which are very simple tones and makes the magazine stand out instead of those very crowded magazine.

23rd september blog

Today during my lesson i went out to the common room to ask a few of my fellow peers to vote on the name they liked or thought was most catchy title for a sixth form magazine.
I managed to colect a numerous amount of votes and reasons why they selected that specific title. the results where as followed,
1) common room gossip magazine. 6 people
2) the mouth mag!. 20 people
3) school life. 6 people
4) school vibe magazine. 25 people
in total i asked 57 students in sixth form to see which title the prefer.
only a small amount of those students gave me a reason for why they pick that title.
the comments were as followed,
1) common room gossip magazine were, sounds like something good to read.
it is a magazine teenagers in the school would like to read.
2) the mouth mag!, sounds girly.
sounds great.
sounds too cool.
sounds relatable and attracts the younger audience and is also catchy.
3) school life, sounds cool and can include everything to do with school.
4) school vibe magazine, the word vibe stands out.
i like the word vibe because it is positive.

from the feedback the students have given me i am going to pick the one i think gave more of a positive response for.
i hope to accomplish a simple example draft of the front cover of my magazine by tuesday. and i would also like to complete a draft for my contents page.

22nd and 23drd of september blog what i done

On the 22nd of september i tried out different backgrounds to start of my peliminary task for my school magazine i also started thinking of different names for the magazine. Seeing it is school magazine i had to think of something that sounds like a good title but it refers to education and school.
23rd september i had to think mainly about the title for the magazine i so far have come up with 4 different title names, with these names i hope to ask a few of my friends to ask which title they preffered. I will mark them down on a peice of paper and scan it on to the computer as proof. Hopefully i will be able to complete this by my next lesson.
