Analysis of Secondary Teachers magazine

I was given a magazine called secondary teachers which is aimed at teachers that teach the age group 14-19. The magazine appeals to it's target audience by using relevant pictures and feature headings. I analysed the front cover of the magazine and the contents page to find out the conventions of a magazine and to give me an idea about what I would need to include in my magazine. On this magazine it uses most of the conventions that are on a magazine. It used the same font on the different feature headings, it had a relevant main image of two children with football shirts behind then which fits in with the main story of how sport helps children with english and maths, it has the date of the issue on it,  it uses puff because it is advertising the department for children, school and families, it also uses synergy because it is advertising Aresenal Football Club through the shirts in the background of the main image. It also did not follow all conventions because it did not have an issue number on and it did not have the price of magazine on it. The contents page has the same colour scheme and font as the front page, it also carries on using puff by advertising recycling, apa and cib. Analysing this magazine showed me what conventions needed to go onto my college magazine cover.
