My front cover of the magazine looks like one you may just find in a magazine, as I took ideas from existing magazine covers that I found on the internet. The masthead has been placed traditionally at the top, larger in size than the rest of the text with the sub-headings of different stories scattered in convenient positions around the main image of the student. The conventions used on my cover are all of that used in a traditional magazine that would be sold in a shop.
Because of this project I have expanded my knowledge of how to use Photoshop, dicovered blogger, Prezi and GoAnimate and how to use all of these.
The college website may use my media product if it were going to be made to inform college students of everything going on at the college. This knowledge would allow them to utilize their free time and study periods in advance so that they were better organised, which is the advantage of the internet using my product.
The audience for my media product are students within the selected college. (16 - 19 year olds) I attracted my audience by using shots within the chosen college so that people would be able to relate and know where the shot was. The character used in the shot has a friendly look on his face and is holding the college handbook, which lets people know that it is definately taken at their college and that this student is enjoying it.
My media product doesn't necessarily stereotype or represent any social group. The scenery and student used don't pinpoint any sort of social group. The student looking calm and happy could represent that the college is good and helpful and that he feels very welcome there.
