The magazine is largely aimed at females, using a picture of a young lady standing alone as the focal point of the cover and containing 'advice' about boys and a story following 'a girl's journey through sixth form'.
It is a very clear, simple and professional-looking front cover and uses similar fonts throughout to keep the general look and layout consistant. A banner is used at the bottom of the page to separate and highlight additional information from the rest.
There is information on either side introducing a variety of different articles which shows an attempt to attract a more diverse audience. Articles focus mainly on the social aspects of sixth form. There is information about the social club and 'the places to be this month', 'how to fit in', how to 'stretch your culinary skills and advice on fashion, boys and health. These are subjects that may draw a teenager in to read the magazine because they are issues that may arise in their every day life.
The cover does have some advice about achieving success in school with articles such as 'university worries' and 'A-levels - All you need to know to achieve the best you can' which highlights that the magazine is not only about how to make friends in sixth form but it is taking the form as a gossip magazine in order to help young people to further their education.
Interesting ideas about who the magazine is aimed at and how we know. Don't forget to add the picture.
