This Student magazine i am reviewing is called First Car

This magazine is aimed mostly at late teenages who are perhpahs beginning learning or have just passed there driving test.

The background picture relates to the title from the famous well know teen comedy 'The inbetweeners'.

The colours are simple relating colors such as a dark background with a light text used to make it visible and easy on the readers eye, they have put the text in an highlighted rectangular box on a slight uphill slant going across the lower middle of the page.

On the bottom of the page there is a banner which gives the reader a small insight in what some of the pages in the magazine has to offer used with the same colour scheme, They have also used interesting action packed pictures that relate to the text, this will make people want to buy the magazine for its teen humour, action and information creating a well rounded student magazine.

• Research of other teen music magazines, Planning of ideas of my own
• Colour - which colours i am going to use to attract an audience

• Layout- the way the blog is set out

Week 2/3

• Construction - audience research
