Whether to target a sixth form or college magazine is the first decision in the designing process, because it will determine the formality and content of the front cover. I have chosen to produce the magazine cover for a sixth form. This is because I am also currently studying at a sixth form and therefore I will be more comfortable with understanding the mentality of a student in that situation.
Sixth form occurs between high school and University and is an educational place where students undergo their A levels. This means that my target audience will be teenagers aged from 16 to 18, academically in years 12 and 13. My next step will be to come up with an original masthead relevant to the genre and themes of a sixth form, and then to design several front cover sketches to determine my preferred layout, before I start focusing on the content itself.
