Hey. Welcome to my blog!
This blog will keep track of all the work I do for this project, which consists of two exercises. For the preliminary exercise of the assignment, I will be producing the front cover of a magazine aimed at the target audience of college students. The second will be to create the front cover, contents page and two other pages of a new music magazine.

The Preliminary Exercise
So far, I have identified the common conventions of other existing magazines to apply to my own work. These include a suitable masthead, headline, picture and a plug. I have also used LIIAR (language, institution, ideology, audience & representation) to begin to plan how I will create my college magazine.
Language - formal, but not too formal. The type of language that all students will understand without verging on being informal.
Institution - the magazine will be produced "by students, for students" which will be the strapline of the magazine.
Ideology - the idea of the magazine is to inform students of events that are going on within the college. It is also there to help first year students get to know about their new surroundings and ive information about courses.
Audience - students, both male and female, so the magazine will have to appeal to both genders. To do this, I will use neutral colour schemes and the magazine will feature subjects that both genders will find interesting.
Representation - representing college students as hard working and fun loving young people, shown in the text and images.
