Language


On the front cover of my magazine i used a verity of font sizes and types depending on the headline to provide interest and a suitable font that goes with the subject matter. i also used a limited pallet of colours for fonts to keep the page looking simple and un-cluttered and it also provides a sense of continuity on the page. I have used the colours White, Yellow and Orange through out the cover, as well as this the colours try in well with the background image without becoming lost in it. i also used the colour green on the "Money, money, money!" headline as the colour green is associated with money, further more the headline is a pun taken from the song by ABBA, this is a well known song and will be relatable to everyone. I have made the Mast head bold and in a larger font so the reader recognises the magazine and remembers the name. The background images shows a friendly student on her way to lessons making eye contact with the camera. This image is related to the headlines as well as been interesting to look at. I also included a bar code to make the magazine appear more professional and to give the impression that the magazine is respectable.

Ideology

The purpose of the magazine is to inform Wyke students of upcoming events and continue to support them in further education by providing useful hints and tips to ease the stress of collage life. It is also suppose to be both interesting for the students and get them involved in various collage activities as well as inform them of activities outside of college. It also recognises and rewards students achievements and therefore encourages them to do there best. as well as this it promotes fun, parties, and the idea that Wyke is a relaxed supportive learning environment they like to be in. 


Audience


My audience will be Wyke collage students aged between 16-19 years old, this is because the articles published in the magazine is relevant to there collage life. As well as this they are the correct age demographic for a collage magazine.

Representation


My collage magazine will represent Wyke in a positive manner showing that it is a good working and social environment and that the students are happy and supported throughout there education. If someone outside the college where to see my magazine cover i would to want Wyke to be portrayed in a negative manner because the reader would not buy it and it could put others off from coming to the college. As well as this i also wanted to appeal to the personalities and interest of the students to show that Wyke care about the students as individuals and  interests outside of collage and are not purely forcing education and work onto there students. I also wanted to show that we reward the students achievements and praise them for it to encourage them to do there best in all aspects in life.
