YOUR SQUAD

               YOUR SQUAD is based on the friendships students have within their school life !

1.     Is your SQUAD really your SQUAD?
2.     Do they give you helpful advice when you really need it?
3.     Are they an encouraging group of companions?    

Your Squad helps inform sixth form students on the type of friends they should surround themselves with when it comes to their studies and personal situations. It notifies them on the concept of positive people , attitude, behaviour and how they can benefit you in your social life. Your Squad also provides tips for anti-social people which will hopefully help them interact with externals or just people in general!              


Front cover story
The front cover displays two friends hugging each other whilst looking up into the camera smiling to connote friendship. I used a high angle shot to create the main image. I decided to use a high angle shot to give a general overview and show the subjects significance.

Target audience
My intended target audience are both males and females aged 16 to 18 in sixth form on the St Angela's campus.

Shots
A range of shots were used both on my front cover page and contents page. I used long shots to show the group of friends jumping for joy, I also used close-ups to show a clear view of two friends smiling/laughing with each other which also demonstrates companionship. In addition to this I also used a medium close up shot to show the emotion and slight body language to show the different types of friendships.

Headline
The headline is YOUR SQUAD . It connotes the idea of fellowship and allows my target audience to have a clear perspective of the meaning of the magazine. The colour of my head line is white and it is bold to catch my target audiences attention.


Colour scheme
The colour scheme of my magazine is red, white and dark to light blue. Using a range of colours prevents my target audience from becoming bored and less interested. Due to the fact my target audience is young using a range of colours is beneficial as young people are attracted to vibrant things.
