Research School Magazine 3

The title of the magazine is 'The Griffin' which is the name of the school. I think they chose this as the name because they are very proud of their school, the school can speak for itself. Also calling the magazine the name of the school if others see it they will know where its from. The title is also is in a black, professional font suggesting that the school is very professional.

The main image is of two students smiling, this would appeal to the target audience as it its an image of their friends and piers. The fact that they are smiling makes the school look very inviting and will appeal to others who are interested in the school. There is one smaller logo image of a griffin which represents the school so when you see the logo you will think of the school.

The stories are about the school, there is a few interviews and stories form the students themselves which will appeal to the target audience as they will want to know what their fellow students think about the school and what is going on with the students themselves. There is a part called 'school food: tell us what you think' this would appeal to the target audience as they will have a chance to have there say, it will also appeal to others who are interested in the school as they will see that the school is interested in what the students think.

The main colour scheme is purple and black, it works well because it stands out and looks professional however it looks a bit boring, if the font was more interesting it may appeal to the target audience more as they will be young students.

This magazine also has all the typical conventions of a magazine such as:
  • Title 
  • Main images
  • Feature stories 
However there is no Date or Issue No. which is unusual for a magazine. This magazine also has a competition which would definably appeal to the niche audience as you can win a £15 Itunes voucher and young people are very into music, it would also appeal to a wider range of audience as most people will like some type of music.
