My college magazine cover + Evaluation

My College Magazine Cover

EVALUATION

1) My media product represents particular social groups as it shows a smartly dressed student in a college like environment. It shows that the students are fun and outgoing as it talks about social parties such as college freshers.the magazine cover also shows that they are hard working, confident and academic as it also mentions exam prep and exams. The part about upcoming trips and expeditions also show that the students/college are multicultural and linguistic.

2) If this magazine was to be published and distributed all across the country ,the media institutions that I would choose would be IPC, it would then be distributed in places like supermarkets,conveinience stores and magazine booths such as hmv and tescos. The magazine would basically be available in places that young people are most likely to go such as connexions,libaries, ect.

3+4) The audience for my college magazine would most likely be students,to sell this issue to the intended target audience I have included features that I knew students would be interested in. For example I have promioted the college freshers party event on the cover. I know that students would be interested as being a student myself we are always looking for an excuse to party. To sell this issue I have made sure that my cover looks as proffesional as possible as the cover is the key to selling a magazine.

5) I have learnt that uploading a photo to photoshop is how to make it look more proffesional. To get from an amature photo to this vibrant magazine cover, I uploaded the photo to a site called photoshop, this is a site where photographers can edit their photos to make them look proffesional. I made the photo more sharp and made the colours brighter to make it stand out.
