L: My College magazine uses a lot of media products to try and challenge forms and Conventions of real life magazines. Some of the stuff that I have used are things such as; a barcode because all of the best magazines have barcodes so therefore that is what you expect of them so it is then a convention of a magazine, I also used a Banner headline which again is what you would expect a magazine to have to show off their best story, the Banner headline I have used though also includes the word ‘Exclusive’ which only the best of the best magazines usually get to use as it means that no one else has this story and that the thing what the story is about has given it only to this magazine to publish, obviously a Masthead has been used because that is the strongest media convention of a magazine because every good magazine in the world has a big recognisable Masthead on the front cover!
I: The institution that would distribute my College magazine would be the College itself that the magazine is representing which is Wyke College. Wyke College would distribute it because it is exclusively for the students of that College, and it will also be made by the students. It would have to be distributed by Wyke College because anyone outside of Wyke won’t care what’s going on with the College and what will be happening, so therefore it could not be distributed by anyone else as it has no relevance except from to the people inside of Wyke College.
I: My College magazine is aiming to give out information about what is happening at the College in that month (as it is released monthly); it will also be reviewing what has happened at Wyke College in the past month such as if there was any trips for any course, if there was a College party or if there was an exam or piece of coursework. The things that the magazine will be trying to get across to the students are things such as upcoming exams or pieces of coursework with tips on how to do well in them, parties that could be happening soon, interviews from students and teachers and also there will be a little bit of fun in it with ‘confessions of a teacher’ where they have to answer questions that could be embarrassing for them or for other teachers, there will also be ‘Bootroom Banter’ where we’ll interview some of the Wyke sports players and they’ll give us the scoop on their team mates. So overall my College magazine is trying to get across what the College has to offer for the Students, try to help with work that they have and also trying to bring a bit of fun and laughter into it.
A: 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 Psychographics 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 what’s going on will help them achieve that. I have attracted my audience by surveying what the target audience would be and then surveying on what they would like to read and see on a front cover and made my magazine to suit them!
R: My College magazine will not try and stereo-type anyone in any way as it is not that type of magazine, it will be open for anyone to read and will not be made for any specific type except from the Demographic of College students. The colour of the Masthead is used to represent the House style of Wyke College which is purple so therefore that is why it is purple. All of the headlines and pictures are obviously there to denote what the story about is inside, for example, ‘Pozition College party coming soon!!’ is obviously there to denote that inside there is a story about the College party.
