How does the magazine construct and reflect its intended audience?

As soon as you look at the magazine you know straight away that it is a school magazine, because firstly, you see the Plumstead Manor logo and that all the articles and pictures are based on school children and their activities. So from there you know the magazine’s target audience is for school children and could also be for their parents as well.

The main title ‘Plumline’ is big and bold in a white font and is in front of a red background, so it stands out, which draws the target audience in and makes you want to read it. They use headings on the articles that are mysterious and evasive, so it makes you want to read on, for example ‘so good we did it again’, which makes you wonder what it is about.

Through out the magazine, we see a number of pictures of the students that are spoken about in the different articles, which gives it a connection to the audience and makes it seem more interesting, because not only are we reading the articles, but we also get to see examples of it.

Photos reflect its intended audience, because the intended audience are children and the magazine is about school children, so the readers can relate with the people in the magazine.

Also each article has been written by students of all ages at the school, which also reflects on the audience, because its not teachers or adults talking to students, it is student reaching out to students, so they have a connection and can easily relate to the audience.
