Price and Releases

The price that my Magazine will be is £1.50 as it is a cheap affordable price as I am aiming it at people who aren't earning much, and I will be releasing it on the first Friday of every month that way people aren't paying it all the time and there is a copy regularly so people don't have to wait to long.

Target Audience for College magazine

My target audience has the demographic of about 16-19 year olds because that is the average age in which people attend College. The S.E.G for my Magazine will be class E because students are classed as that because they won't usually be earning a lot of money. The Phycographics of my Magazine is achievers because people that go to College want to achieve A Levels and my Magazine as well as letting them know whats going on will help them achieve that.

LIIAR's for 3 College Magazines

(L) This Magazine is very colourful and catches your eye very easily which makes it stand out and also teenagers usually prefer brighter colours rather than dull ones, the Masthead is big and bold which again makes the magazine stand out a lot and it's also easy to recognise as well however it is on the opposite side to what other Magazines usually have it on. The background is all one clear picture so that makes it look more professional but it is missing a barcode and price which makes it less professional. On the contents page the language used is more slang which will appeal to the Students because they'll relate to it. There is a few colours used in the contents page so its hard to work out the house style but it makes it stand out well and looks really good.

(I) The institution that produce this Magazine is Grimsby College, you know because of the logo and e-mail on the front cover.

(I) The Magazine is made to tell the Students at the College whats going on in a way that they can relate to and makes it more interesting for them.

 (A) The audience for the Magazine is people around 16-19 because thats the demographic of College students so therefore has the biggest potential market.

(R) The Magazine represents the College as a fresh and up to date place where Students feel like the right age yet still is a great place to learn.
                                                                             
(L) The Language on the front cover of the magazine is quite easy and it doesnt look like much effort has been put in to make it, because the front cover looks very empty as the Masthead has a lot of black space behind it which does make the Masthead stand out however it also makes it look very boring. The picture on the front cover isn't very good either because I believe this magazine was made to show what the college is like and made to try and portray the college in a good way but it looks cold and dull on the picture and therefore makes the college look bad rather than good. Although it does stand out with the black background. The House Style is very good and stays the same until the green gets introduced as it stands out to much in a bad way and looks really odd.

(I) The intitution that this is for is East Riding College, you can tell that from the logo on the front cover so you know what College it is from.

(I) The Magazine will have been made to inform the Students what is going on at the College and giving them some insight into whats happened recently and what will happen in the future.

(A) The Target audience for this magazine will be for about 16-19 year olds because thats how old the students at this College usually are or they could try to aim it at their parents.

(R) This Magazine represents the College in good and bad ways because it looks smart and grown up. However it also looks dull and boring.





(L) The front cover is very well presented and looks very professional except the fact that there isn't a Barcode or Price on there, The image of the girl on the front is a good image as it covers the whole front page and it also shows the girl smiling so it makes it look warm and welcoming. The Masthead is big colourful and bold which makes it stand out very well. There are Headlines on the side which have a little description on what they are talking about underneath so you get a good idea of whats in this issue of the Magazine. On the Contents page its very simple yet effective because there isn't much on there but it stands out and looks professional and it also has a 'word from the editor' which usually all the best Magazines have.

(I) The Institution that this Magazine is made by is King Edward VI College to promote themselves in the College.

(I) The Magazine will have wanted people to know about whats happening at the College at this time and gives them a look at all the courses they have to offer so they get a better feel of whats going on.

(A) The target audience will have been people of the age of around 16-19 because thats how old college students usually are.

(R) The Magazine represents the College as a nice welcoming place because of the Colour scheme which is reds, yellow, blue and green which are all nice bright colours and they also use the image of the girl smiling which makes them look welcoming and that all the Students are nice and get on.




My featured College

The College which will be featured in my Magazine will be Wyke 6th form College as I go to this College myself so getting pictures will be easier and I also know that there are a lot of Students there so there would be a large potential amount of customers.

LIAR Of the Brief

(L) In my College magazine I have to use language that is going to appeal to College students. This means that the style of the font and the words used in the magazine have to be appealing to students around the age of 16-19 because that is the demographic age of the College student. The masthead will have to be short and sweet! Something that is easy to see and say and can be easily spotted and recognised so the Students will take interest. On the front cover they will be an image and it will be a medium close up because that is what the brief is asking for and it also makes it look more professional. Also on the front cover they will be a Barcode, Price, Date and The Masthead. (I) The magazine will be trying to tell the Students what’s going on at the College, trying to give help to Students and also they will get to quiz a teacher in each edition to give it a bit of fun. (A) The Target audience of my magazine is around 16-19 year olds because that’s usually about the age of people who are at college so they are more likely to buy a magazine for that age rather than any others. (R) I would like my magazine to portray Students in the right way rather than all the bad stereo-types they get, however I would like to use a bit of comedy with the bad stereo-types.
