I had a brief search online to have a look at some different examples of School magazines, and I found that the magazines could generally fit into two categories. The first being overly formal magazines that looked more like brochures than something a student would be interested in, and secondly the more common school news related magazines. One thing that struck me about both of the examples below is that they are targeted at parents, which I think is something that I will steer away from in my own magazine. I think it would be more effective if it were to be aimed at students, rather than as a newsletter for parents. I think this way I will be able to receive feedback a lot easier, and I will also be able to design it to suit my own age range. I also think that in doing this my magazine cover will hopefully be more 'fun looking' 'action packed' as to attract the attention of a younger age range, and this will allow me to get more out of the software I am using in preparation for the main task, as the photos will need to be edited to suit, and it will also mean I can have a practice at manipulating fonts, logos, and colour schemes.
