Stoke Newington schooland sixth form

This magazine is a lot more mainstream as the other two. I think this is due to the reason that the magazine is for both the school and the sixth form so its very basic ensuring students of all ages can understand it.

King Edward sixth form

This magazine is very student friendly. It’s based on the lives of students and what they have been up to. The magazine acts as a guide for them to use.

Blackpool sixth form

This magazine has a very urban feel to it, perhaps because it try's to appeal to the generation of the sixth form personalising it specifically. Again the magazine acts as a guide for the students but compared to the “king eds mag” this magazine is more entertaining, due to the contents

King Edward sixth form

This magazine is very student friendly as the picture portrays the happiness and lives of the students

The magazine uses a specific logo in every issue which makes it personal as well as professional.

The magazine isn’t worried about covering the face of the student , this is probably because the magazine is popular so they know this wont damage the front cover, popularity or readership.

The magazine uses two main colours: white and yellow. This portrays the active lifestyle of the students as well as the magazine.The colours work well with the image as it creates the idea of having fun outdoors and of enjoying being a student which is important to keep the youthful atmosphere of the magazine.

From the contents we can tell that the school is an active school both mentally and physically. The magazine knows that people will be interested in these topics so it doesn’t worry about including other articles or topics.

The letter from the editor makes the magazine more personal as it reaches out to the students especially as the editor is of a higher authority than the students they will take his words and what he recommends and likes about the magazine and read it.
