Research into School/Sixth From magazines

I am conducting some research into various Sixth from magazines and School , As part of my preliminary task I must make a Sixth from magazine. I wish to learn more about the key conventions used and what makes a successful Sixth form/School magazine.

Here is a word cloud of some key conventions/points to consider when designing  a Sixth from/school magazine.


To learn more about Sixth form magazines and further my knowledge of the conventions of sixth form magazines I have found and analysed some Sixth from magazines from other schools. I have analysed the front cover of the High Profile magazine from KEHS - King Edward VI High School For Girls - kehs.org.uk

Next I then analysed the front cover of  Comberton Sixth form magazine - 'The First' -combertonsixthform.org

To further my knowledge into Sixth form magazines I also analysed the front cover of  the Stoke Newington's Sixth form magazine - 'Spotlight' - sns.hackney.sch.uk 

I have also analysed the contents page of the 'Spotlight' magazine as for the preliminary task as well as producing a front cover I must produce a contents page to accompany it -sns.hackney.sch.uk/contents

I have made a word cloud of all the key conventions of a magazine front cover and contents page.

The magazine that I like the most is 'The First'. I like this as I find it more eye catching and interesting. The image on the front cover ties in well with the edition as its winter, its a very detailed and good quality image.

This is my AS coursework PRINT brief blog.
The brief is:
a preliminary task - to produce the front cover and contents page of a new school magazine, featuring a photograph of a student in MCU plus some appropriately laid out text and master head.

The main task is to design the front over, contents and double page spread of a new music magazine which is to include a minimum of 4 original images.
