Audience and Institution

Audience
My magazine is created and designed for a school institution, and in specific the sixth form which is usually people from l6 years of age to 18. Taking this into account I have ensured that certain aspects such as pictures and wording are targeted at that age range whilst also keeping in mind that other years of different ages may also be seeing it therefore also making sure pictures, wording etc is not to childish but at the same time not too explicit.

Institution
The magazine is designed for sixth form students therefore is designed under and for, a school institution. For this reason there are a few things that I had to consider when drafting and beginning to actually create my front cover/contents pages. The school has children as young 11/12 years of age, so there is a chance that the magazine may be available for them to read therefore it is essential that content, including features, text and pictures remain non-explicit (rude, revealing etc.) Furthermore, the institution is one of a Christan-based (Church of England) school so again text should be carefully thought through so that it does not include swear or anything which could potentially offend someone of any religion or belief in any way.
