Analysing the Questionnaire

My college magazine is related to young adults between the ages of 14-21. Also it is related to both the male and female gender of the public and all ethnicities can connect to this magazine. Most of the readers are from Middlesbrough, but other people from different locations can also read it.

The magazine is aimed at people who enjoy their music and like hanging out with their friends, also for people who have friendly, relaxed and enthusiastic personalities towards life.

Some of the questions were purposely presented on the questionnaire for certain reasons. I asked what their parents did for a living, to discover what type of social grade their parents fit into. Most of the people I asked, their parents did teaching for a career which means that they would fall into the category of C1, although other teachers who may have a higher status in the school may fall under the category B.

College Magazine

Before we produce our music magazine for assesment, we have to make sure we have the skills to produce it. To do this, we have been given the task to create a college magazine with a front cover and contents page to give us an insight on how to use our creative skills to the best use.

I have researched other college magazines to give me some inspiration on how to create my own, and this is what i found:

This magazine uses the average, cool and relaxed pose by looking away from the camera with a slight smile. Its also a medium close up (MCU) shot to emphasise on his face and shoulders, the title 'relevant' and the blue font 'zac levi' actually frames the males face to make it much more eye catching as it gives it that outline. The lighting on the photograph gives the audience that shadow effect with some of his face high key and the other half low key. The angle of the shot is at eye level, so there is no power or status included with the shot. The proxemics of the photograph show that this man is taking up the full space of the front cover, which tells us that the magazine is focusing directly on him. Also the use of indirect mode of address, this gives the audience that feeling of invitement towards the magazine and that it's trying to make you read more and more.
