1. College Magazine Evaluation
By Oliver Harradine

2. How typical is your magazine
• I have tried to follow many of the conventions of a magazine and a college magazine which I have founding
during my research before making my real college magazine
Here is my college magazine title which I
have called education because it fits in
the with the genre of the magazine
which is a convention of any magazine
and I have positioned it in at the top in
the middle to follow the convention of
college magazine and also it makes it
stand out. It also means that it can be a
bigger font so it would be easier to see if
it was on a magazine stand
The image that I have used for my front
cover is a medium close up of a college
student called Lewis Hayes. I have used
this image because it follows both the
conventions of a college magazine and a
normal magazine because I found form
my research that they both normal uses
a medium shot or a medium closes up
because it fills more space on magazine
and also so you can get some of the facial
details in the face. Also I have positioned
my image in the middle third so it follows
the rule of thirds and also because it
follows the convention of college
magazine where they put the image in
5the middle third and have articles down
the right and left third

3. How typical is your magazine
Here is an article from my
front cover which follows
the convention of a typical
college magazine. This is
because it makes the genre
of the magazine obvious to
the reader because theses
are the most common
articles you are likely to
find on a college magazine
Here is my contents page which I
have made following all of the
conventions of a college magazine.
Like the articles are in columns so
they are easier to read and also the
articles are all related to the genre
of the magazine and they some of
the most common storeys. Also I
have placed my images at the top
to separate the images and the text
and all my images link to articles in
the magazine. Also top create
synergy with my front page I have
used the same blue from my front
cover in my content page.

4. Who would be the audience for your media
product
• The audience for my media product is 16-18 years olds college
students. I have shown this by using a image of my target audience
for my main image on my front cover and also by using images of the
college on the contents page. I have also tried to choses topic for my
article that are focused at this audiences like a article about smoking
which is a big problem to my audiences because this is the time in
there life were there most vulnerable to it. Also a story about revision
tips which is good for my audiences because this is time in the life
where there most likely to have exams to worry about.

5. How does your media product represent
particular social groups
• My media product shows represents one particular social group of
smokers to be unaware of the risk of smoking. Also it represents
students as being obsessed with the latest gossip and want is
happening to other and also it shows them as desperate to knowhow
to revises properly because they don’t know how to. Also it
represents students as always look for a discount because I have put a
puff on the front cover that says win £50 in discount vouchers. By the
image used on my front page it represent students as being very vain
and boring because he is not smiling , he is looking very focused into
the camera

6. What have you learnt about technologies from the
process of constructing this product?
• I have learnt by doing this that I should uses bright colour and big and
clear fonts on the front of my magazine so that it stands out from all
of the other magazines. Also it makes it eye-catching to any one who
see it out of the corner of there eye. Also I have learn to follow almost
all of the convention of a college magazine like a medium shot main
image and typical college article. I have done this so it look
professional.
