2. We 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.
3. We 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.
4. The 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
8. 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.
9. 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?
10. 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.
11. 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.
16. 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. Originality
2. Football pitch
3. Distinct
17. 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.
