Focus groups

Remember to let your focus groups help determine what is put on your front cover and inside pages. The public have told you what they want - so try and give it to them.

Think also about the tone and style of your magazine. Is it going to be serious, helpful, risque, funny - because of space and time your mag can't be all things to all people - so prioritise.

I could give you loads more to go on, but I'm keen to see what you come up with on your own.

Remember to blog your ideas, say WHY you've chosen WHAT you've chosen and when these are finished, we'll deconstruct them.

I may also get you to pitch your magazine to the rest of the group (or maybe the other group) - so make sure you're sorted for your semeotic terminolgy...
