Planning Ideas

What is the name of your magazine? What are the connotations of the name?

The name of my magazine is ‘The 6th Star'. It connotes the main theme of my school magazine which is a form of  academia: English. My magazine will revolve mostly around work and writing skills.

What will your front cover story be and how will you visualize this?

My cover story will include the following: How reading for pleasure can actually help toward improving your English grade, How to balance wider reading and school work at the same time, How to do well during English exams.
Since all these stories revolve around English, the student would be supposedly around book or reading one book allowing the theme of English is communicated.

Who is the target audience? (Consider age, gender, interests)

My target audience will be exclusively aimed at young adults from 16-18, since most of the stories apply mostly to those in college or sixth form. Also, most of the interests within this age group will lie solely on education and setting their goals/ aspirations.

What sort of shot will it be? Close up, mid shot, low or high angle?

Preferably it would be a mid shot or a close-up as I want to include all the mise-on-scene around the model, e.g. books. I would like to ensure that the background is of a plain colour in order for the sell lines to be seen clearly.

What would be your headline and how will it match the main image?

My headline would be 'The English Collective' and it will match the image because of the books that will be included in the image.

What colour scheme do you want and explain why?


I want the colour scheme of my magazine to span from the colour of the book which will be next to the student, to communicate to the reader.
