Task 4

Grimsby Institute College Magazine

L- I think this college magazine is very good to understand the writing used is clear and the uses of house-style colours have been followed through with the texted back colours and the image. I think the blue stands out with the white and it’s eye catching. The contents are easy to understand like it gives you an in site into what’s going to be in the magazine. The logo of the college stands out because it’s big you instantly know which college it belongs to.

I-I doesn’t inform you on who produced the magazine.

I-The magazine has old the target audience (students) what’s happening in and around the college. It has an article of drugs and alcohol this shows they are think this is important and there trying to keep their students safe this is a good way to appeal to new students as it shows they are thinking about their students as well as teaching them.

A-I think there target audience is the students of all ages and genders. I think the colour blue show the young trend y feel whereas the grey and white appeals to the older generation.

R-I think the college has a positive feel to it as it obviously cares for the students but has a general interest in the student activities and what’s happening on the courses.

East Riding College Magazine

L-I think this magazine is very plain and a bit here and there. The text only stands out because of the dull background and the white colour they’ve used for the text. The logo is small and doesn’t really stand out in the bottom right hand corner. The picture isn’t really relevant to the magazine been about the colour as it’s a picture of one of the trip this could have been added to the article in the magazine.

I-I doesn’t inform you on who produced the magazine.

I-The front cover doesn’t really indicate whether it’s for the students or the teacher. I think it gives you little information on who it could be for or what it is trying to achieve.

A-I don’t think the magazine shows who the audience is as it’s quiet boring and isn’t really aimed at students. The colours are a bit plan and don’t really appeal to the young population of the students who will attend that college.

R-I think the college has a strict negative look with this magazine as it isn’t very welcoming and doesn’t really give a positive feel with the dark colours used and the picture of just one thing rather than a few pictures of other interesting activates that have gone  on around the college.

Mid Kent College

L-I think this magazine is very exciting and isn’t boring at all it has great colours and looks very eye catching and appeals to students because of the fun bubbly house style colours of pink,  black and blue. I like the figures instead of pictures as it stands out with the white background. The content of the magazine that is on the front is for young students it gives advice and information on interesting none college related subjects.

I-It doesn’t say who produced the magazine. It does say mid-Kent on the barcode which could indicate that it is an in house product.

I-The content of the magazine seems to be very much around having fun but staying safe as well. I think this could mean they understand that students need fun but give them advice on how to stay safe.

A-I definitely think this magazine is for the younger students rather than the older ones. The eye catching colours on the cover could appeal to the artistic students rather than the academic ones. This magazine doesn’t indicate it’s for teacher but they may buy it to keep up with what’s going on.

R-This college magazine has a positive image. It isn’t boring and plain it’s bright and vibrant without been to in your face. It doesn’t come across as strict it appeals to the younger students as well as it has a young edgy feel to it.
