AS Media Studies - Jasmine Burdall

Producing a college magazine, Front page & contents page.

As this is the beginning of the foundation portfolio preliminary task, we looked at how the media key concepts could be applied to produce a college magazine. We used the acronym LIIAR - Language, Institution, Ideology, Audience & Representation.

Language - Layout, text & font. Arrangement of the masthead and the text etc.

Institution - Wyke College and people working for the college.

Ideology - Values, sense of belief. The Wyke college message is to promote Wyke, and to promote the power of education.

Audience - Wyke College students, ages 16-19. 64% Female, 36% Male. Around 55% are from the East Riding and the other 45% are from Hull. Also employers and university's.

Representation - Showing the best of Wyke College and making it look good, also the type of story and typeface.
