I took a lot of photos for my contense page so that I had a choice of what i could use. I realised after i created my magazine cover that in the future I would need to take more photos so that I had more of a choice.

My task is to create a magazine cover and contense pages. Language is about how the text or speech is mad e within a piece of media, whether it being a piece of text of speaking in a piece of film, what is said. The language I need to use needs to relate to students to make it work as a college magazine, it needs to be relevant towards what students want to read about. The institution is the company a product is representing for example a Pepsi advert would be instituted by the company that makes Pepsi. The institution my college magazine will be instituted by is wyke itself. Ideology is what values and belifes are shown by a peice of media text. The ideology show by my magazine be that the college is a good and respected place with well behaved students and plenty of sucess. Audience is what group of people a piece of media is aimed at, for example a mans aftershave would be aimed at men. My magazine will be aimed towards students at the college, so both male and female - between the ages of 16-19. Representation is all about what a media peice it trying to represent from its product. My magazine will be representing the college and the students which attend it.

This college magazine is of a particular subject; being a sports magazine. Instead of showing the college as a whole it focuses on one subject, this then targets the audience as people interested in sports. This research helped me with my ideas as it made me realize that I would like to create a magazine for the college as a whole rather than just focusing on one group of people.

 

 

This magazing has an interesting image and captures the eye. The  scribbles in the background give in a sense of rock and roll which is the image I think it is trying to use, as the image is of a man singing, so the background represents what the image is and what the magazine will have inside it.

The image is the most important thin in this magazine cover as it is strange and makes you wonder what something like that has to do with a college. It is not the usual thing you would see on the cover of a magazine. The title of the magazine is not in the top left hand corner like you would usually see on a magazine cover. It has different conventions that you would expect from a magazine cover.

This is the image I have taken to use for my magazine advert.
