This demographic infomation shows that majority of people in Hull are between ages 16-75. Although this is a wide age range it shows that the population of Hull is still increasing. Due to the increase in population and a decrease in jobs- more people are going to want to come to college to re-sit GCSE's or A-levels, this is why i believe there is a gap in the market for my college magazine. The demography also shows the amount of unemployed people there are in hull, i believe this is why it is important to sell my magazine at a loe price of £1.50, because that way it is still able to be prouduced in high and decent qualaty, but it is affordable for people who dont have much income.

The LC contents page is the only one out of the 3 i have anylised that hasnt stuck to the exactl same theme on the contents page as the one shown on the front cover. Although the contents still have a colour theme of black and white, the colours have been reversed which makes the magazine look brighter and more clear, unlike the dark and dull front cover. Also on the contents page, different colours such as gree, purple and blue are used. This is effective as your eye is immediatley drawn to these brighter areas- therefore making you look at them first. This contents page is full of text and information from the principal of the college, it is a lot of information just to read all at once, and it looks even more when placed next to the dull list of pages on the right hand side. If i was to re-design this college page, i would have the principals letter on a seperate page because being faced with paragraphs of writing on the first page of the magazine is dull and makes you bored of reading it before you've even got onto all the propper news sections of the issue. The main good thing about this contents page is that in the bottom right corner there are links to the college's facebook page. Due to them being placed in the bottome right corner, the audience will most likely read this and remember is easily do to looking at this section of the magazine when they are turning the page.

The LC (Lewisham College, London) is a well established and planned out magazine. The contrast between the black background and white mast head an text creates an eye catching cover and the target audience will easily be able to establish the mast head due to the use of larger font and the fact that it has been placed in the top left of the page- which is where the audience will look first. A negative thing about this magazine is that only one image is used, which creates the sense thatn ot much else is going on in the college, also the main image is of a girl dancing- however, there is no text on the front of the magazine that relates to dancing, this then makes the image look as though it is irrelevant to the magazine. 2 key things about the front cover of this magazine is that it displays what issue it is and also shows the college logo, this will help the audience understand straight away who the magazine is aimed at and also what the magazine is going to be based on. If i had to correct this front cover i would use more bold and bright colours, the grey/black/white theme is very dull and boring and therefore the target audience may think that s the college is boring then the college might be as well. Using one bold colour such as yellow could bring happyness and excitement to this front cover and make it less boring to look at.

The contents page, like 'BCHS's contents page sticks to the same theme as the front cover. Just like on the front cover the contentd page also only uses 1 image, this is a negative thing as it doesnt give much insight as to what is happening in the college or in the magazine. The layout of the contents page is just a very simple list form, this creates a dull and simple look and makes the audience bored of reading it before they've even opened the magazine, the writing is also difficult to read again and the font is now black in the contents whereas the writing on the front cover was white. The image in the bacground of the contents fratures the same 3 girls that were on the front cover, this could be seen as being posative as it helps the audience create links between the 2 images and help them understand how they interrelate with each other, however the image doesnt really show any key information about the college. To improve this contents page i would ensure to scatter the text around the page and also change it into a more suitable colour and font. This would attract more people to buy the magazine as the presentation of it would symbolise that the college is bold, quirky and therefore fun.

Anylisis of 'The 6th News' front cover.

'The 6th News' is another college magazine, however the main fault of this magazine is that it doesn't display which college it is for. This is bad for the magazine as it therefore wont have a target audience due to students of the college not knowing weather this is magazine is aimed at them or not. The colour theme of the front cover is white and red with a background image of 3 students studying in the sunshine surrounded by greenary. The main image could be seen as being good as it shows that the ollege has a safe and clean environment and that the students always make the most of it, however a negative thing about this image is that the writing is barely visible over this background. It is key that the public can read what your putting on your front cover as this is what attracts them to buy the magazine or not, also the mast head of this magazine is the same font and colour as all of the other text therefore it doesnt stand out and catch your eye. A way to improve this front cover would be to add teasers of what is coming up in the magazine, this would give the audience a main idea of what the magazine is going to be about and therefore could attract them into buying it.

Anylisis Of College Magazine Contents

The contents page of the 'BCHS' sixth form sticks to the same familiar theme like that of the front page, which is a unisex blue and pink background and a dull black and white text. The contents is layed out so that all the pages and numbers are in a list format on the right hand side of the page. This can be posative because when people turn the page they will easily be able to glance at what is where, however using this kind of layout is predictive and therefore boring which could mean that it wont draw an audience in and make them want to read their magazine because it may predict how the whole of the magazine is going to look. Another negative thing of this contents page is that the main image seems irrelivant to what is in the magazine. The image shows 2 teenage girls howvere there is no indication as to where they are or what they're doing, because this image doesnt appear to link with the magazine it will mean that people reading it wont know what sort of things to expect within the magazine and if they cannot create simple links then they wont want to carry on reading it. The contents need to be eye catching, interesting and full of college information so that buyers of the magazine can establish exactly what they are reading straight away.

Analysis Of A College Magazine Cover

The front cover of 'BCHS' (Brentwood County High School' sixth form has a simple pink and blue theme. This works well because the use of these two colours shows that the magazine is aimed at both sexes and therefore will attract a wider audience. There are 3 images on the front cover of the magazine, the main image is of a student of the college who looks as though she could be succesfull, the girl is also smiling which symbolises that she is enjoying her time at BCHS sixth form and that she is also having fun being successful. The main image looks as though it has been taken inside of the college, which shows that it is a place full of neutral colours, and to the left hand side of her- work is displayed, which gives off the impression that going to 'BCHS' sixth form will provide you with a good education and help you achieve high standard work. The other 2 images are in the top right corner of the magazine, one is of the college logo and the other is an icon of 3 teenage students sitting within the college.
There are many negative things about this magazine however, the fony simple and boring with no animation to it or texture- it is just a simple black or white which leaves it looking plain and not eye catching, also the college slogan 'Keep Trust' is larger then the college name 'BCHS' which normally should be the magazines mast head. It is important for it to be clear who the institution of the magazine is straight away, as that is usually what determines if the audience want toread it or not. A final way to improve this magazine cover would be to place the writing over the main-image in a more conventional way, so that it can be easily seen and interesting to read- rather then simple, straight black text that doesnt draw attention to it or catch the audience's eye.

I – The person that has designed the text.I am publishing a magazine for Wyke sixth for college. Because it is a college magazine it will be produced by the college (an in house publication) because it won’t need to be supplied to a mass audience of people and won’t bring in any profit.
Because the institution of the magazine will be the actual college, this means that everything will be done by staff or students or other people working for the college, therefore everything will be directly displayed and portrayed how Wyke want it to be.


I – The main idea of what the college promotes. On my magazine I want to show that the college achieves a lot of good grades and helps all students to reach their potential. I will do this by showing images of students studying and working however I will also want to promote the fact that college is also a fun and social environment. I believe that this can be achieved by listing the trips and visits that coming to the college has to offer and how many opportunities’ to make new friends is possible.

A – Who the text is targeted at and who it will appeal to.The target audience of my magazine is teenagers from 15-18 who are interested in carrying their education on into college after they have finished their GCSE’s at school. I will use a bright coloured them all the way through the magazine so it will be eye catching and my target audience will think its attractive. I will use images of people in the age range of my target audience so that they know that it is directed to them. Using these images will also make my target audience feel like they are already a part of the college.

R – This is who is portrayed in the magazine, and how.

The representation is that all students that come to Wyke will be successful. I will show this by using a variety of images to show a mix in stereotypes and different groups of people. This will promote that coming to Wyke will also help bring segregation into social groups. The main people represented in this magazine are teenagers between the ages of 16-19. They will be shown having fun at college to show that not all teenagers enjoy being unsociable.
