College Magazine Evaluation

My magazine doesn't challenge other magazine industries as is a free college magazine and uses the traditional publications of magazines.

My magazine represents the college as a whole and is aimed at many different social groups. Firstly I have added an article about theatre studies which is aimed at students interested in any type of theatre or plays etc.
I also added a section about sports which represents all students who have an interest in sports which is fairly popular at Wyke college.
I finally decided to add sections about all lessons in general at Wyke which applies to all students attending the college and therefore ranges in many if not all social groups and students.I also added teaching tips in the magazine so that it has something to interest teachers as well as students.

However I decided to change the headline of my magazine from Grease Lightning to Chlamydia: Put A Stop To It !I decided to change this as i changed my main story from the new production being put on by Wyke college students to preventing chlamydia. I made this choice due to the fact of me not being able to produce a picture representing my main story so i therefore changed my story where i could take a suitable image to represent it.

The media institution that would most likely publish my college magazine would be the publishers of magazines like Secondary teachers and Primary teachers as these focus on supporting the education profession. I therefore think my magazine would be best published with them as my magazine focuses on students and teachers and education overall. Also my magazine is free like Secondary and Primary teachers magazines.

By constructing this product I learnt many new things within technology. I learnt thing about photography like how to capture a picture in the correct light and how to set the scene for a picture to be taken in. I also learnt how to then edit the images in many different ways by using photo shop which is very effective. I also learnt how to construct a magazine cover and contents page using photo shop which is an interesting process.

Overall I learnt many things from the beginning of my preliminary task to the end. All these new skills are very helpful as i can now analyse magazines and consider why things have been done in certain ways. I can also take ideas from this and create my own magazine using ideas from the analysing I previously did.I can also use the concept of LIIAR to help create ideas like who my magazine will be aimed at, who it is going to represent, the audience I am going to aim it at etc.

Finally by completing my preliminary task it gives me more confidence in my next task as I can now use my new skills and ideas and adapt them into creating another magazine.
