Deconstruction of a school magazine

 

Deconstruction of a school magazine:

 

 

                                                   
 Headline - Is in all caps in big, bold, black lettering  and shows the formality of the magazine as well as this, it is central and quickly attracts you to the title. Its short and snappy letting the reader know exactly what the magazine is about and what to expect from it                   
Image - This picture sets a tone for the magazine. It shows a high standard of uniform fitting with the sub line 'reflecting the best' as well as the engaged faces of the students to the teacher, it looks natural and shows their students as hardworking. This magazine is clearly aimed at adults because of the formality and language of the text. It's very minimalistic and would probably not entice the majority of younger generations
Overall - The magazine is clearly for middle to upper class parents because of the formality of the text and its stereotypical that they would have more involvement in the quality and standard of education of their children opposed to working class people.

This magazine is much different to the other. It seems to be aimed at a 'working class' average family. This is shown

in the use of colour and the less formal font and language used. It has a much more fun and welcoming vibe than the other and shows much more diversity on the cover however some of the language used like 'innovation' shows that
this magazine is aimed at adults and older readers rather than the child themselves. On the other hand, the magazine itself is based on choosing a secondary school, which, you would expect, the child would have some say in. This suggests that it may be a magazine aimed at the middle class as well. To further support this, the prices of magazines are rising therefore, it may be that wealthier families are the ones buying magazines but this magazine is trying to appeal to the masses rather than a niche group like the first one
