Preliminary task

Evaluation- Front Cover

The main image on my front cover is a full bleed. This means it fills the entire page. I changed the image on my real cover as I took a very good image and wanted to use that instead. The title is called 'The people' which will entice a variety of audiences as my magazine is meant for the entire school. All of the sell lines entice these audiences as they all relate to different years in the school: 'GCSE choices, We can Help!'. This will obviously draw attention from Year nine students as they are in the GCSE choosing process.
'School Survival Guide', is aimed at year seven students who are new to the school and want to know how to cope with the everyday pressures of high school. Finally 'Top Tips For Exam Survival', the target audience here is for year eleven, twelve and thirteen students as they are undergoing there GCSE, AS or A2 exams.
All of these sell lines help to 'sell' the magazine to the intended target audiences. The colour scheme suits that of boys and girls so will entice a variety of year 8 boys to year 11 girls, who maybe worlds apart in terms of their hobbies, likes and dislikes.
The colours on the page will be bright and vibrant as they will attract and entice people to come and view it and the the sell line will 'sell' the magazine.
My contents page has a list of random pages on the left hand side, easily viewable for anyone, making for easy reading. There are no long or complicated words or phrases to suit all abilities. There are images of the students in the school so that they can be related with and a picture of the headmaster for a special article on him in this weeks edition of  The People.
The website is in full view for people to see, this advertises the magazine on the front page and on the contents. Also on the front page is the price, which is 50p. The price is not expensive which allows both rich and poor, upper and lower class people buy the magazine, as the school has many different social classes and people benefit economically differently.
No bar code as it is a school magazine and there is no need.
The puporse is for all to enjoy and what I have included succeeds this.
