Our Preliminary Task began with some research. we had to create a power point of school magazines from other schools. Initially i found this quite tricky because there's not that much immediately obvious on Google.
This is a slide from my power point. The magazine is from King Edwards VI High School for Girls. This was my favorite of the designs that I found because it shows that it doesn't have to be too elaborate as long as its got a good picture that will grab the attention of the audience. This 
magazine succeeds in that sense because the pictures involve students from the school.
Our next task was to design a flat plan layout of our magazine. i started with quite a basic plan, similar to that of the High Profile magazine i had researched however i felt that i wouldn't be able to entice the audience enough to buy the magazine with just the main photo, masthead and tag line so i decided to add an extra picture with some details about the story.
The magazine is aimed at the Chew Valley 6th Form students. The picture i have chosen may interest 6th formers because it includes 6th form students and also a picture of a popular comedian who some of the students might recognize. The colour scheme i have chosen is mostly green because this is the school colour.
We also had to design the contents page. again i have used the school colours and a picture of a teacher who a lot of the 6th form like and are familiar with dressed as Robin Hood. This is quite funny anyway but it is also suitable for one of the stories featured in the contents page.
