MAGAZINE PITCH

PRESENTATIONFrom the Apex Group

INTRODUCING OUR WORKWe were set an assignment to produce a magazine for our sixth form. We were put into two groups consisting of five students (Hussein, Rodhat, Steven, Mark, Nabeela). We created individual pages that we contributed towards the Current Page Magazine. In addition we blogged every meeting that had taken place.

HOW WE GOT OUR INFORMATIONWe researched different sixth form magazines from different sixth forms. E.G. Epping forest, Woodbridge sixth form.We produced 70 questionnaires featuring 7 questions about what sixth form students would like to see in the magazine. We also interviewed students from our sixth form.

TARGET AUDIENCEThe target audience for this specific magazine is aimed towards those aged 16-18 aimed at both males and females, sixth form sector. Substantial articles will alter in the magazine especially those which are seen as most relevant, for example the main news, people’s interests: fashion, sport, art, humour, gaming, movies, etc. As a group we will make decisions based on the questionnaire results, this notifies what sixth form students want and expect in a sixth form magazine. The idea of using the questionnaire results/ statistics helps produce a successful sixth form magazine; it appears as if the answers have been provided to us, the only section to complete is to produce the magazine with all the elements inserted into the magazine. 

FRONT PAGE

The front page features an enlarged image of the current

page logo.

The main headings feature on the main front page to engage the readers, it’s a bit

like a taster.

The Heron in the image is used to

represent the school.

The Image shows the team

behind the magazine.

The photographs show who is doing which page in the

magazine and what it is about. This

builds up a possible relationship with

the reader.

The cartoon images show the reader a sneak preview of what the page is

about.

The current advert page is a general advertisement page of local shops and businesses. The USP is that it is aimed at our high street and the most popular shops students go to.

THE CURRENT ADVERTS

THE CURRENT RUMOURS/ NEWS

Header, indicates what the page is about,

seems to look more organized/ professional.

Logo was created on paint net.

This specific page is to keep the readers up to

date with the latest News as well as

Rumours. The current Rumours

appears on the left hand side column.

A Redbridge book award advert features on the

bottom left hand corner. The background features a picture of

Wanstead high school, we formatted the image and changed the colour to black and white. The reason for this was that

the information that appears on the page will

appear more visible.

This is a slip where people can cut out and hand in to a member of the group or teacher e.g.

Want to write an article What they want to see in

the edition

The group logo at the top of the page as a reminder of whose magazine they are reading.

The interviewing section Q&A in which 2 students (new, not new) are asked 3 question.

1. Is the common room a relaxing place?

2. Do you find the sixth form as an aggressive place?

3. Would like to continue your education in Wanstead next year?

THE CURRENT INTERVIEWS

THE COMIC PAGE

Created for entertainment as well as humour.

Based on school grounds. Comics are drawn and self

created. At the bottom of the page it

features a preview on the next issue that continues from the previous comic.

We planned to keep every character and introduce

more through out the series, the reason for this is that the readers will create

a bond between the characters and would want

to read more. The future comics will also

be drawn and created as well as the story lines by

Nabeela.

The Current Fashion Our idea is to create four pages of fashion for male and

female for the sixth form to give them advice as well as the new year fashions.

The fact is most of teenager in this sixth are in to fashion, most of them are girls. That's why we chose to do theses pages.

We have seven section on our four page. We tried to give them advice for what they can wear. One of the section that we have produced is about skin care.

Here are some of our pages.

THE CURRENT MEDIAThe current media page is comprised of up and coming releases in TV, cinema, music and games, such as Assassins Creed IV Black Flag, Star Trek Into Darkness, Doctor Who special in November 2013. We have done this because these films, games and TV shows are aimed at our target market.

Our unique part to the ‘Current Sports Page’ being the Team Of The Month section which is dedicated in surveying the sixth form and asking them to name the best 11 players in the sixth form (Year A-Levels, AS) in every footballing position e.g. Goal keeper.

‘The Current Fixtures’ column will tell you the weekly fixtures to come , kick off times and the channel that the matches will be previewed.

The Gossip in the professional footballing world e.g. who’s leaving,

who’s arriving.

The page colour is green why?...1. Originality2. Football pitch3. Distinct

THE CURRENT SPORTS

The Group Logo at the top of the page represents

the team symbol.

The colours were agreed by the group, we

used this colour because it

represents the schools uniform.

The puzzles are to

entertain the reader and get

their minds active.

The riddles are to get the

brain thinking and working which sets

everyone up for a hard day

at school.
