preliminary task - my magazine

For my magazine i chose the audience as the whole school, so everyone can be involved with it. I wouldnt want it to be about every year so i can write about them all and each year could see what the other years were doing.

It would be published once a term and it would consist of all the different thing that have happened in that term E.G. lessons, sports, different awards, trips.

There would be a logo in the corner, and the logo with represent all the years in the school plus the schools name just to show that its that schools magazine.

The colour theme would be the colours of the school and the different colours for the different years. Because its for all the years i wanted to do a page for each specific year with the colour of the page being the colour of their tie. Then there would be other pages where all the years would merge together.
