Preliminary Task

I'm starting my preliminary task and I've been told that i need to create a new school magazine, i thought i was able to do this but to achieve the best of my ability, I'd need to look at present day magazines, to see what codes and conventions are needed, therefore, using them in the best way possible in my school magazine task. Whilst doing this i was familiar with many of the the codes and conventions from past research and i found differences of these concluding:

Age

Gender

Ethnicity and

Social groups (e.g. teenage tribes).
I found that these were all considered to find the House style belonging to the target audience, and the codes and conventions were used to conclude this.
I am a bit worried about the outcome of my school magazine but hopefully it will target the audience effectively through my codes and conventions, but for now i need to find a target audience by doing some marketing research, Bye for now!
