Final School Magazine

How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?

The main image on the cover is a student working on their computer, representing my target audience as students in sixth form. Though it is not glaringly obvious from the image that the student is a sixth former, the lack of people around her indicates that she is not in a crowded classroom but rather working independently somewhere else, which is mainly a convention of students in sixth form.

How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text?

My product engages my audience using the dark colours and serif font to look more professional, as this is a magazine intented for sixth formers who have to focus on things such as work  experience, exams, and universities, which are important topics. These are also what the sell lines on the cover consist of. If this were to be distributed, I would make a digital copy as almost all students are on social media and would likely prefer an online format. The physical printed copies would likely be sold at bookstores or maybe higher-end supermarkets, as this is where my target audience would likely have access to.
