We got given a little project of quickly designing a front cover of a school magazine and deciding how many pages it would have. We looked at several different school magazines to get an idea of how many pages they should have and what they each focused on most.
I worked with Amy Sladden and we decided to keep it simple and actually called in Parkwood as we thought that it was straight to the point. Although we did understand after talking about ours to the class that we could have been more imaginative with the name as calling it after the college may put students off reading it, and we decided that we wanted this magazine to be mainly for students, although we did aim it to be for parents as well.
We came up with the slogan 'We're all in this together' to show that as a college we are very close. It is only a little place and after discussing it Amy and I decided that everyone does know everyone and we feel like the Sixth form is like a little family and we felt that this slogan fitted well with that.
We decided that it would have 6 pages and that it would focus on all different aspects of the college, showing all the different types of talent that filter the college. An example being that one week it may be a music show that has been on, and the next week it may be the football team. We felt that that way everyone would be interested in reading it.
