Secondary Magazine

In this blog entry I will look at how the key concepts are used in Secondary teachers magazine. “Teachers magazine is for the teaching professional. It aims to be balanced, inspiring and useful, with practical solutions and the inside track on Government education policy” The main topic of the issue I’m going to look at is 'Do boys and girls learn differently?

This magazine uses an unusual layout as the front cover. The 2 page layout is effective as it fits in well with the main story and attracts people because it looks different. The two children on the front cover are deliberately wearing identical uniforms this is done to involve the pictures with the main story and to show the two children could go to the same school wear the same uniform be taught by the same teacher but still learn differently. The two sides to the cover have the same advertisements and same layout making the picture the main focus.

The cover of the magazine advertises its audience which shows that it’s a specialist magazine and not a lot of people know about it, if the front cover didn’t say its main audience then it could attract school children or parents also.

The children are dressed in school uniforms on the picture to make it fit in with the story, if they were dressed in everyday clothes then it would have no connection with the main story of the magazine.

The magazine cover addresses the reader ’do boys and girls learn differently and can your teaching redress the balance’ this attracts the reader because it makes them involved with the magazine.
