Initial Ideas

• Our initial ideas for our magazine name were all to mention Wanstead or a slang word for Wanstead for example “Steadnews” “Wanstead News”.

• The idea for the style of our magazine was originally all maroon with the heron and have everything in squares to be squared off.

• The funding’s of it would be through advertisement from places such as Art shop, Daisy, BBQ Express, Londis and Costa. We choose these places on the high street because these are the places what are used by Wanstead high school students daily.

• The frequency of the magazine would be a monthly, as the information within the magazine wouldn’t change over a week.

• The contents we would want to insert into the magazine is information about School shows, school teams, school trips, university, jack petchey award, games and memories. we thought of this as it is a mix of news and fun/ games within the magazine.

Feedback

• The audience feedback we got helped us a lot with the colours, what information could be involved in the magazine. Another thing they helped us with is what to call it. With the colour people mentioned the colour white, black and maroon a lot. This help us with what colours to use within our newspaper.

• People said that they would want information about school as well as having things what included the students and also games within the magazine.

• The name of our magazine came from what people wanted in our magazine as people were saying call it “Sixth form information” “Sixth News” these helped us come up with “SixMix” as it’s a mix of news and also fun stuff.

Suitability

• This magazine will be suitable to Wanstead sixth form as it will be a mix of everything for everyone this makes people want to read it more as it has things in it for everyone but also it has activities people would want to do. For example play the games or have a laugh about the memories with friends and finally find the look-a- likes funny and create their own look alikes.
