Who is the audience of a school magazine?
The most foremost audience is the students, these are the people that the magazine is aimed at. The school magazine i'm studying is called BUZZ. Buzz is made by student, who attends BGS.
The magazine appeals to its audience by being a magazine that students would normally be interested in, for example music and other such things. The BUZZ magazine covers music and other event happening in and around school. The names of the magazines I have looked at all have short snappy names such as BUZZ, and CRAZE. The BUZZ magazine has a very bright cover, eye catching and appealing to students, the main target audience. It follows a basic layout with the masthead at the top and a student in the background. It has various sub headers around the cover page, all bright colours, again to make them stand out. The name BUZZ is very good for a school as it refers to the BUZZ and gossip that happens all around school.
This is my second magazine I am researching, its a school magazine called DUB. It has a very bright title in contrast to the white background. It looks like a very well made magazine. The audience this will be aimed at is students at the school interested in a certain type of music. Judging from the title the music it will be mainly focused on will be Dub-Step and Techno. The magazine appeals to its audience by offering information about Dub-Step and interesting facts about the music. The DUB magazine covers news about celebrities involved in music, for example the kanye west fiasco VMA's. Again this is one of the typical names I have seen, small, short and quite blunt. The layout of this magazine is very good, and the colour themes all fit in together perfectly. The name Dub is not very suited to a school magazine as the school is not based around DUB step.
