1. Who is My Target Audience?
Because I am making a school magazine it is obvious that I am trying to target students that go to this school, and in this case secondary school students so I would be targeting students aged between 11 and 18. To an extent it would play the part of a school newsletter as it would give the students and parents the information they needed in an interesting way.
2. How does My School Magazine Attract/Address My Audience?
Because my school is a Sports and Performing Arts Post 18 school obviously the magazine's content will attract my audience as there will be information about different opportunities regarding their studies. Also my magazine will address them because it's content will be directly about them as well as Sports and Performing Arts.
3. How does My School Magazine Represent Particular Social Groups?
Due to my school magazine being targeted at a Post 18 audience, it would represent students of this age who are studying Sport or Performing Arts. I have also put pictures of students of this age on my front cover and contents page, and presented my magazine in a way that is easy to understand so it will be easy to fit into the students an parents busy life-style.
4. Does My School Magazine Challenge/Develop Real Media Products?
Due to it being a school magazine I don't feel like I can say that it challenges or develops real media products because it is a free magazine that is only targeted at the students from the school. A school magazine is published and sold on a very small scale and will not be as widely publicised as other media products, due to it's having a limited target audience which would make the expenditure more than the income if money was used to publicise it.
5. What Kind of Institution Would Distribute My School Magazine and Why?
Because my magazine is a school magazine it would not be distributed by anyone else but the school itself, and they could either be downloaded on the school website or picked up at the school office.
6. In the Process of Making My School Magazine what have I learnt about Technologies?
I have learnt how to use Blogger, Adobe Indesign, Adobe Photoshop, different types of camera's and camera settings. Although I still need to improve the way I use all of these, but I hope to do this in the near future.
