In this exercise I have to look at the media world of Magazines, such as Music, Fashion, and Gossip. I use my research to produce my own Music magazine for Wyke College, it is up to me what I base my magazine, such as Sport, Music, or ICT. I am going create the magazine by using the Key Concepts of Media. LIIAR- Language, Institution, Ideology Audience and Representation.
Language
For the language I am going to be thinking about the type of visual presentation, for example, the font, the font style, the Black and White or Colored Pictures I use, and the Headlines I use. I will also think of the layout how the pictures will be positioned, where the text will be put on the Front page and Contents Page.
Institution
The institution in this case is going to be the actual College. Wyke College. The magazine is going to be produced for the college on a particular subject.
Ideology
The Ideology is the values of the magazine. What I mean by this is what the magazine will involve, as Wyke College Students are Respectful, Equal and achieve to the highest standard I am going to base my magazine on those values.
Audience
The magazine will have an audience to aim for. Also the subjects of the magazine have to be aimed at these students. At Wyke College there is a split between the genders. 55% are girls and 45% are boys, so I will have to think of subjects which both genders can relate to. In this case it is the students at the College. It is aimed at teenagers who are aged 16-19 years old.
Representation
Who the magazine is going to be representing . So the pictures will have to relate to the audience, and must be appropriate.
I am going to be keeping a blog right throughout this whole project, and hope to produce a good quality magazine.
