This cover is my first draft.

This cover is my first draft.

In my magazine I have used a masthead, cover lines, logo's and a image for the front cover. The masthead name that I have chosen is 'Plantsbrook news'. I have chosen this because from the name the audience tells us that the magazine is going to be about things happening in plantsbrook. I got the masthead made from 'Dafont'. The image and cover lines support this because the image show's a student in school uniform and the cover lines talk about things happening in the school. The main image is a photo of a student who is currently in plantsbrook sixth form. The use of a sixth form student tell's us it's aimed at sixth form students. The student is the largest object on the screen so all attention can be focused on him. In my cover lines I talk about things that a sixth form student or someone who is about to enter sixth form might find useful, things like revision tips and after school clubs. I have placed the logo underneath the masthead so that people fully understand that the magazine is about plantsbrook. I've already talked about my target audience being sixth formers but can also be aimed towards year 11 students because this will give them a taste of what sixth form can/will be like. I have used a range of techniques to attract the readers attention like a large image of a student which the readers can relate to, different coloured cover lines to make it more attracting and a large masthead.
