Secondary Teachers

The magazine "Secondary Teachers" is sent to students across the country.

The front page is a wrap up text. When the magazine is opened up the reader recognises both sides been connected.

One side is a boy in school uniform which makes him look smart. He has his hand up in the air which shows he is keen to learn which makes the magazine look convincing. The boy has been placed in front of a white background which makes him stand out more and he has a big smile on his face which shows confidence. The girl on the other hand is looking straight at the boy making him the focus point. She is also in front of a white background and her hair is swept off her face so you can really notice her expression. The white background reflects that the teenagers have been purposely placed there which makes the image abstract. The writing is big and bold which makes it very clear to read. The text on the boys half of the page is mainly blue and the text on the girls section is pink which is stereo-typical of the gender types.

The purpose of this magazine is to advertise new ideas for secondary school teachers considering this is who the magazine target audience is aimed at. As a reader you can see this because the subtitles and headings are talking about difficulties and positive sides of teaching and learning abilities.

Looking at this image i can identify how the two people are feeling. The girl certaintley looks more dominant i feel as her look is quite intimidating and not looking down on the boy but almost suggesting she knows more than him. The girl looks more cocky and confident but not in an annoying way, she looks more mature and intelligent as she is holding a pencil which suggests she is actually working and the boy is too busy showing off which is ususally the case with teenage boys and girls so the image is been gender specific and showing a typical classroom scenario. Where as the boy looks eager and confident but probably less mature about what he knows. He seems to be taking the limelight by putting his hands up and wanting to be centre of attention.
