Evaluation

I believe that my front cover and contents page of my magazine turned out to a decent standard, the front page has the Wyke college logo on the top of the page; making it easily recognisable to students and people who know of the college. The price and issue number are below the masthead on the left hand side, the colour of the text matches the overall house style of the magazine (the main colours been purple and white) and is in bold so it’s easy to read and noticeable. The background of my front cover is an image of the Oak building with a student photoshopped in front of it, this gives the impression that the student is at college and the expression on his face makes it look like he’s happy to be there. I believe this gives off the right impression to students and people looking to attend the college. I have placed two thumbnail photos onto the front page with captions above the photos, the captions and pictures relate to the stories I have chosen to feature inside my magazine. On the left hand side of the cover I have also chosen to add in some text about enrolment for the next college year and that applicants are now been accepted. I believe this will grab the attention of year 11 pupils reading the magazine and also anyone else who is interested in joining the college. The background of my contents page is a picture of the back of the Oak building with three student’s photoshopped onto the picture each of different angles each image is behind the previous image.  I have chosen five different stories to put onto the contents page, some linking to the features on the front cover.  There is a masthead at the top with the title of ‘Inside this issue’, the masthead is big and noticeable and I believe that it’s eye-catching. All of the text on this page follows the same house style as the rest of the magazine.

I think that this magazine would be helpful to students as it provides the latest information of things that are happening in the college and is a very informative magazine. I think that the magazine address’s and represents the target audience that I picked. My magazine represents students of Wyke as positive and happy people. This gives people the impression that it is a nice and friendly college and makes people want to come check it out. The fact that I have features on the front page that link to good things that Wyke students have done or things that help the students make people reading the magazine believe that the college cares for it’s students a lot and keeps improving the college and it’s facilities to accommodate the needs of the current students and students to come.
