Evaluation

Language - I have used a medium shot of one person to fill most fo the page. This make the image bold and interesting. I added a background to give more colour to my magazine and to make the picture stand out more. My photo is a photo of a student working on textiles work which works well with my magazine as it is for a fashion college. I have used a bold colours and fonts for my words, especially 'London' which may attract people as it is a popular city for fashion. I used mainly bold colours to make the words stand out and  be noticable. I have made sure that the colours of the words on my cover match the colours of the background behind the photo.

Institution-  The photo on the front of my magazine shows that the college is a environment that someone who is interested in fashion can learn  and work. It would interest the audience as the cover makes it look attractive and a fun learning environment.

Ideology - The ideology i would like to portray is that the college looks like an interesting environment. Even though there is only one photo of a student working, the cover of my magazine should give a light feeling towards the audience to want to consider attending the college.

Audience - The audience of my magazine would be females mainly or males who are interested in fashion. Ages ranging from 16 - 25 and that would wish to pursue a career in fashion. Also the parents of the students would be part of the target audience so that they too can see into the college and find out whats going on and information they may want to read about . The audience would have to have an interest in fashion and the college.

Representation - The magazine would represent education and the college. To give a good output of the college to its students, future students and families. It would represent the college as fun and friendly environment and a good place to come and study fashion. I have used a student whos age is similar to my target audience. Hopefully my cover will influence people and help them imagine themselves coming to the college.

Overall i think that my magazine went fairly well. I did have some downfalls such as my photos being deleted and not starting till later on as i was on a trip when we first were told about it. The things i think didnt go quite well were my photos. I didnt think about how i should take my picture and what shots i should use. But thankfully my photos turned out quite well even though i lost some.  Also when i designed my cover i didnt think about how i would layout my magazine thoroughly. I think that i couldn have improved my work more by starting earlier on producing some picture and understanding more how i should present my work. However i am pleased with my magazine.
