Preliminary task target audience

The preliminary task of a school magazine cover has a target audience of the students who go to the school, and their parents. The aim of the magazine if to inform the readers of events happening around the school and other general information. I used and image of a sixth former working as the main image for the cover as this would appeal to other students, not only his peers, but also younger students who could see the person as someone to look up to. However the coverlines also give an impression of fun as well as work this combined with the smaller images of student having a bit of fun give a more relaxed feel than if it was all exam and revision tips.
