Proposal Form Target audience: (age range, interests) Although it is a school newsletter you still have to think about your audience and how to appeal to them. The target audience will range from 11-18 years old, being students of the school means including secondary level and sixth form. Moreover, the magazine should also be suitable for parents as they will likely read the magazine to be updated and have more information about the school. Therefore, the magazine needs to include images for it to become enticing to one’s eye especially to younger students. This maintains the target audience’s focus; it will keep them reading the magazine further. Possible title ideas: (masthead / title block) What is your magazine going to be called? Calibre de Douglass Student Union BDS Magazine Main image: What will be the focal point of your front page, remember, your work “must include a photograph of a student in a medium close-up” Close up of a student working Main cover line: What will be the main story? GCSE Results How we made it into the TOP 10 schools Additional key images: What other images will be on your front cover? Remember, it is a school magazine. None, the front cover may be overcrowded due to the fact that the background of the image will not be rendered. I did not include another image in order to maintain a professionally presented front cover. Additional cover lines: Other features, stories or selling points which will be inside the magazine, these need to be audience appropriate. NEW SYSTEM?

The background will be the study area where the student is working. To maintain the focus on the main image, I needed to blur out several students who are also working on computers. Technical considerations: (equipment, setting, props, costume, lighting) Be realistic and creative, think about what you have access to and how you could use it. For equipment and setting, I have chosen the study area in which there are a number of computers thus having my model sit in one of the units, there is already a background which shows an academic environment. I will make him/her sit near the windows in order to achieve a natural lightning; I will not have to edit much after taking the photo because the quality and brightness is already good. Furthermore, my model will be wearing his/her uniform to easily show that my magazine’s genre is about school.
