Front cover
on the front cover of my magazine I have used the colour and font size to make certain parts of it stand out, and be more noticeable, for example, on the front page I have tried to use a house style by using the colours purple, green and black and also stick to only two fonts so that they don’t look like too much that is it. I made sure that my front cover has a masthead, which is WCM (Wyke college magazine), I put this in bold and made it a bigger size compared to the rest of the text, and this stands out at the top of the page. I have also included the college logo; people will identify this and know it is from Wyke College. I have included a few images that are relevant to the articles that they are for like the article and have included a caption underneath too explain about the pictures, about the artwork has pictures of student’s art to go with it and the ict support section has a picture of students on computers. My main image on the picture is a medium close up and the person in it is making eye contact with the audience, they are also wearing a science lab coat which creates a main article that can be featured with the image. I also made sure the text for this article stood out against the others and made it the main thing that people will see when looking at the magazine. I think I could have improved by using a variety of different fonts, rather than just using one font for the whole magazine. I also thing I could have included a teasing content at the bottom of the page, persuading people by writing extra articles that will appeal to them at the bottom of the page.
When making my magazine I had to think about how it would interest people and make them want to read it, this is why I tried to include articles and images that would interest them. For example the main article about the science results will get everyone who does science and maybe some people that don’t but are just interested, reading the magazine. I also added an article about the Wyke parties which a lot of students go too and will be interested in getting the dates for.
Contents page mock upthe contents page is a mock-up of what it could look like. I have made the text different sizes and colours but still stuck to my colour scheme of purple, green and black. I used a main picture again, like the front page, but this time it isn’t a medium close up as it makes it easier to fit writing over the picture so that you can still read it. I didn’t just include text and the main image on my contents page; I also put a picture on and then wrote the page number next to it. I think there are a lot of improvements that I could make on this; I think like the front cover I could have included a range of different fonts to make it more interesting. I also think the page looks a bit empty and could be filled up a bit more.
Institutionthis magazine has been made by me, and I am a student at Wyke. It is better that I go to wyke as i am able to take pictures around the college and I know what it happening around the college so it was easy for me to come up with possible articles to include.
Ideologymy magazine is to show a fun and working side to the students at Wyke. It is too help them through their studies and also give them events that they can have fun at. I think I have kind of achieved this as I have only really put in one article that shows a fun side to college life at wyke which is the wyke parties; however I have no images to go with it so people may not see it straight away and may not be as interested in the magazine.
Audiencemy target audience is students at Wyke college which are usually aged 16-18 or maybe a bit older. This age group will be interested in what is happening around college and want to know about events outside of college as well so this is the best group to aim the magazine at, especially as it is about wyke. Also because of my audience I made my magazine free, as students don’t tend to have as much money as other age groups.

RepresentationI want my magazine to represent the students of wyke in a positive way so that if anyone looks at the magazine that doesn’t come to wyke will get a good impression, and Wyke students would not want to read the magazine if they were shown in a negative way. I wanted them to be shown as hard working but also show a fun side and at the same time still achieving the grades they need for their future.
