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.
