Preliminary task
- 1. Preliminary Task
- 2. Preliminary Task I decided to do a children's magazine which would be distributed to primary school children so the age range would be 4-11 year olds. Because of this intended audience, I felt that the cover should be bright and vibrant; this way, it gains a young persons attention and engages them to read the magazine. It has this cover story because it also shows the parents that their children are attending an achieving school and shows the schools standards so has benefits on the school plus it also engages the adults to read the magazine too. There is an advertisement on this page because it can easily be seen and also, I chose to use a circus since it is for the family and so appeals both to the younger and older audience as it is family welcoming. The mini contents gives a slight highlight of what they’re going to find in this particular issue of Primary Eye.
- 3. I decided to put the contents on page three because when the reader (be it a child or parent) opens it, they will have photos on the left page since it is the September issue and so it will be a contribution of a selective few pupils photos from over the Summer and then they are likely to be engaged in this so the page is open for longer. Then they read the next page which tells them what’s where, etc. I decided to put a welcome back message from the head teacher since it allows the parents to read important messages. I also put the term diary at the top because it’s vital to the pupils and the parents to know when they aren’t in school, when they break up for half term and Christmas, when not to wear uniform, charity event and fundraisers, etc.
