Task 2

Analysis of the brief

Language-
From the brief we are told we need a masthead that should have appropriate text and a photograph of a student medium close-up. We are told this is for a college magazine so we have to include a barcode, price, issue number a bright colour scheme (3 house-style colours), picture, teasing content and prize to be won.

Institution-
I am producing a magazine for Wyke. They will be no publishing company as its produced by me (a student) for Wyke.

Ideology-
My magazine is to inform students who attend Wyke of all the possibilities available to them. I would like to let them know about the fresher’s parties and the other things they could do to make their college lives more enjoyable. I would also like to suggest ways they could make their studying or homework times more enjoyable. I hope by creating a fun bubbly magazine that it will appear to the students.

Audience-
My target audience is aimed at students who go to Wyke and for teachers who are interested in what’s going on in student life. My magazine is aimed at 1st and 2nd years for boys and girls.

Representation-
I want my magazine to show individuality for all students. I hope this will give a positive image for the college as I think Wyke is all about an individual’s needs rather than everyone is the same and learns the same. I want this to come across in my pictures and they content in my magazine.
