my ideas

• limited colour pallet consisting of only two or three backgrounds.
• aimed at sixth form students
• all normal conventions of a magazine (masthead, sell lines etc.)
• one main feature article.
• use of pictures of students, staff and events.
• fortnightly/monthly.
• captivating headline.
• less advertising.
• interviews.
• title has to be school related suchas 'common room' or 'sixth'
