Front Cover

This is my front cover for my college magazine

Pricing and Target Audience

The age range of 16-19 male and female for my target audience as this the age range at Wyke college, the pricing for the magazine will be free to Wyke students with a NUS card but £1 to those without or to people outside the target audience who wish to buy the magazine. Also the magazine will be published weekly as suggested in the title of  magazine 'Wyke Weekly', I've chosen not to print it monthly as the news would be outdated and not of interest to my target audience as they will already know the new.

magazine logo

This my magazine logo for my college magazine as it says the magazine is weekly also with the Wyke logo being incorporated it show that the college magazine is link to Wyke therefore this is my college of choice for the magazine.

Magazine Cover draft

The masthead is in the top left corner of the magazine as this a main convention also it allow the masthead to be seen on the shelf. The rest of this draft follows conventions of magazine and I have chosen to lay the coverlines and teller out side the main image as it doesn't obstruct the view of image.

Photographs

I will not be using this image as it doesn't fit within the brief and is too casual for my college magazine

 The glare in this photo makes the photo unusable for my magazine

 I wont be using this image as it's out of focus and also is of a bin which I don't think will appeal to my target audience

I wont be using this in my magazine cover as the light exposure is too high

I could use this image after editing but at the moment it logo is not centered and the logo is not defined enough.

 I will not be using this images as it is not a complete picture of the front of why and also it on a slight tilt also it not what I want my magazine to feature.

 I may use this for my magazine as a teller image on my magazine as it show a clear view of the front the college and also shows as a college we have disabled access and have facilities for cyclists.

 I will be not using this as a magazine cover as it not clear what it and whats the purpose of this

This image is not very clear and does really serve a purpose for the magazine

I wont be using this as the lighting is too low and also it doesn't really show what the college facilities are 

Choice of College

The college I am choosing to feature in my college magazine is Wyke. This is because the facilities are easily available for photography purposes and also the age range at Wyke is 16-19 year old males and females and this is the demographic for a college magazine, as this is who occupy a college environment.

The masthead is monochromatic colour, which is cheap for production and a simple design often stands out more. The colour of the masthead is bright and contrasting to the background of the main image this is used to make it stand out more and grabs the reader's attention. One feature that is used in the magazine is a 3 tone colour scheme (excluding the pink). The use of the bright pink colour to the bottom left of the masthead draws the attention of the reader also the text 'splat' relates to the pink splat it's in and also in this instance has relation to the issue it's mentioning.
