Analysis.

Language; Throughout my magazine I have used a lot of different magazine concepts. On my front cover I have included a masthead, date, issue number, subtitles, images, teaser and a barcode. My masthead is right at the top of the page and the date and issue number are underneath it in the same colour. The masthead is in a large font and a bright colour which stands out against the background. I have used a teaser on my front cover so it makes the students want to buy the college magazine. For my main image I have used a medium close up but the model is laid on her stomach. I decided to use the specific image because it is a medium close up but on a different angle. Also, because the model is reading her Wyke handbook. With the model looking through her Wyke College handbook it gives a good representation to the college. My subtitles are all in different colours but each one stands out against the background because they are in a bright colour. The reason I chose the bright colours is so that it would catch the reader’s attention and the bright colours may draw the students attention to the magazine.

Ideology; The theme of my college magazine is encouraging students that they can have a good social life and a good time whilst there at college. This is shown by the model because she is smiling which implies that she is having a good time. There is also several photo’s on my contents page that represents having a good time at college. I have not used a specific colour scheme on my magazine. This is because with the image been taking on grass there is a lot of green and the majority of colours will not stand out against the background. Instead of having a specific colour scheme I used various different colours which will stand out against the background and attract students.

Institution; With my magazine been about Wyke College they will distribute my magazine. This is because my magazine is representing the college and the magazine will be giving students a guide about what is going on around the college at the specific time when it is released.

Audience; The audience for my magazine will be the students that study at Wyke College this is because the magazine will appeal to them. With me using bright colours on the front cover it will catch students eye’s and they will want to get the magazine so they can read through it and see what is going on throughout the college that month.

Representations; The representation of my magazine is to enjoy college. This is shown by my model smiling whilst reading through her Wyke College. This represents that if you are a student you can still have a laugh and see your friends and get an education.
