This is a sixth form magazine i found on google. My task is to deconstruct two sixth form magazine and this is the first one i am doing.

Firstly the title shows us that it's about the sixth form, the audience of this would be all the people that alreadly go to sixth form. We can tell this because it says "The Sixth Form Magazine For You!" This suggests that there many aleady be other sixth form magazines at this college and this one wants to be the best.

The headline of this front cover is  "A NEW CHAPTER BEGINS" This tells us that it is another start to a term or a year for the students and this may also suggest that we need to read this to see how this term or year is going to plan out.

The masthead is at the very top of this front cover as here we can see the logo of the school and what school it actually is.  The logo is in the top left hand side of the page which is where you always find the logo of a front cover. This is because the people that design this wants people to straight away know who's magazine this is plus this is for the usall readers, they can know just by looking at the top of the front cover can relies it's there magazine. The background of this banner is red with white texts which helps the reader actually read it for example if the designers used yellow and orange the colours may have blinded you a little making you not wanting to read it.

In the left third of the cover we see two headliners with abit of information under it. Firstly they use headlines to attract the audience then after that they feed them with abit of information that will draw them into keep turning over to the next page.

At the bottem of the page we can also see what esle we can expect to see in this magazine. Which i personally think this is a good idea because it can draw the reader in and make the magazine stand out that little bit more. The banner of this is a red background with white bold words showing whats going to be in the magazine. They use the colours red at white because the red hepls the white stand out to the aduience.

The central image is in the middle of the cover and takes up most of the page. Just like a normal magazine. From this you can see the teachure talking and helping the students which inicates that the teachures at this college are good helping people plus it also shows us that the students here are willing to learn.

Lastly towards the bottem right of the page we can see the bar code which shows you need to pay for this magazine however you don't see how much the cover is but you do see at the top right hand corner you do see the issue of the magazine which can be useful.
