I have chosen this masthead / title as there is already a well-known magazine called 'The Informer.' By interpreting my own idea of 'The Sixth Former,' it gives the magazine a little sense of humour. The interpretation of 'Sixth Former' imidiately sets a target audience; Sixth Formers. This may encourage teenagers to purchase the magazine, as not many teenagers tend to buy magazines these days.
There are many sell lines dotted all over the cover or my magazine - the bright, bold colours grab the readers attention, making them want to read on. I highlighted the key words that may make the reader relate and attract their attention.
The main image of my magazine shows a younger student, in school uniform (obviously prior to sixth form) with a red cross through the center. This image suggests that the uniform is no longer apparent, or maybe even abolished. This, again, shows that the magazine is particularly aimed at sixth formers.
The header and footer on my magazine is in illuminous yellow. The bright colours grab the readers attention. The word 'FREE,' in red, is an immediate attraction. It almost awards the reader with, in this case, a free coffee.
The pug and subsidiary image also gives a small insight of the magazine. The well known logo of 'Starbucks' brings a little character to the page. Giving the audience recognition to the brand - familiarising them what could be in store. The word 'NEW' involves the reader, giving them a heads up, and keeping them up to date with the news about the school.
