Textual analysis for target audience school magazine
Next
Next magazine is aimed at year 12 students that helps guide them through the year. It contains knowledge about life after school and gives students useful advice that will help shape the career that they wish to have when they leave school. It gives students ideas about what they want as a career and the path they should take to get there. This gives students an idea of what they will encounter in the following years as students, which I think is a useful feature for a school student magazine. The title is suited appropriately to the content of the school magazine and what information it offers students about the ‘next’ stage in life. The image featured on the magazine is friendly and inviting and I think it would be a successful magazine to appeal to both male and female. The people in the image look like they are having fun and also they look popular and happy, which appeals to my target audience.
Questionnaire graph results
The results for this show the different hobbies that students enjoy when i asked a range of people in 6 form what their interests are. The results conclude that most people enjoy shopping and seeing friends, therfore this is what is most important to them, which makes it a vital part of my magazine content.
Do you read your current school magazine?
Most people do not read their current school magazine because it does not appeal to them. This helps me learn of the design and content of current school magazines that it is not appealing to my target audience.

Most people I asked enjoy the subjects such as politics and english. In my magazine I can include information about subjects and information such as school trips that relate to 6 form subjects.

Many people I asked were interested in fashion. I want to include a fashion part in my magazine which could relate to the sort of clothes 6 form students can wear to school.
Do you read magazines outside school?
Most of the people I asked did read magazines outside school, this includes the male audience that I asked aswell.
If so, which magazines?
This question that follows then helped me determine what magazines the students were interested in. This included many fashion and real life magazines and contents.
What attracts you to a magazine?
I feel this is a important question to ask, as this will draw students into reading my magazine. I found that images and stories were the most important feature to a successful magazine and what my magazine should contain.

Daniel Cassidy: 16
It is vital to my focus group that to get a fair view of what students want to see in a magazine, as it is for the 6 form students which would be both male and female. I wanted a boys opinion on what a student magazine should look like. Daniel is interested in law and sport. Although he is more interested in the lads mags such as 'Nuts' and 'Zoo' and I could not incorporate this type of magazine into my student magazine. I could however include a sports section in my magazine as a lot of boys are interested in football. Dan uses the internet daily as he enjoys communicating with friends over instant messenger and the social networking site, Myspace.
