practical / content

The content of the magazine is obviously important, but for the purpose of this brief it doesn't have to be as highly considered as the design and colour scheme. That being said, the content for a children's magazine aimed at 3-5 years needs to be suitable for their skill level.

The type needs to be large and easily readable with short amounts of text. There will be an educational aspect to the magazine, so the content needs to be suitable to their level. Some of the text included in the magazine will be quite lengthy i.e. instructions for games. As some children have different reading skills, parents may have to assist with reading the instructions.

Overall, the magazine needs to be fun and stick to the theme of making friends. There will be pages that introduce characters and invite children to talk about their own friends, games and puzzles for them to complete!
