Photos that I took (selection of best.)

I took this picture as I thought I might use it for setting, to show off the front entrance. I considered using this in the contents page.





This time, I included the model in the setting. For these set of pictures, I didn't have the model wear the leather jacket and scarf.

I took this infront of Oak to perhaps show off the building a little. But I didn't use this shot as there was no meaning why I took it, it was just a test. The lighting is poor and it wasn't close up.



This was more close up, but the lighting was poor. I explored taking different medium close-up shots to see what would work.



I took another medium close up shot of two students to use for the contents page.

I decided to use this image in the end as it contains a brand image which is the psychology book and I decided to feature this for my main headline which is "psychology aces test", in my opinion the lighting in this shot is very good too. I took this in the silent study area.

I decided to take a shot of the student near a book shelf to have more educational themes in the magazine, but the model was obstructing  the books so I didn't use this one.

I took another shot of the student at medium close up but the lighting for this was poor and I didn't use it.

This was just a medium close-up test shot. It doesn't really convey any message as it doesn't have a brand image in it.



This was another test medium close up shot.

Price and how often published.

From doing some market research, 'College Lifestyle' is $6 which is about £4
However, I wouldn't sell it at £4 because that's too expensive and people wouldn't buy it. Therefore, I would consider making the magazine for free so that it's easy to access and students can just pick up a free copy any time. However, I would charge £1 because it's a low price and students can easily afford it. They will have a spare pound, surely.

I would publish it weekly so that it's updated quite frequently with the relevant and fresh information.

LIIAR interpretation of the brief

Language – This will include the main image which could be students working for example but making eye contact with the audience. There will be bright colour scheme will be used using two or three colours such as purple and green to keep consistency with the Wyke college font. For a thumbnail image to illustrate the magazine I could use the asterisk which is used in the prospectus. To reel the reader in, I would advertise parties Wyke is holding for anchorage. This will encourage them to be intrigued and possibly enquire about recent events.

Institution – I would be producing the magazine for Wyke magazine and possibly set it out in the layout of the Wyke prospectus as an existing publisher.

Ideology – The message I want to make via this magazine is Wyke is an academic college which takes its education seriously and wants everyone to achieve high grades to go on further in life.  By using a smart, casually dressed model it gives off the impression that Wyke has sophisticated morals and they want the best to attend their college. It makes the target audience think “they don’t want students who don’t put in the effort into their studies.”

Representation – I intend to represent college students in such a stereotypical academic light by using a picture of a student(s) studying or carrying books which suggest they’re studying at a high level, for example Law or Business. The student would be smiling so that this reflects the positive attitude of the college.
