potential photographs for college magazine

I decicded to take an image of a small group of boys standing outside, reading some work. I positioned them so that you could notice the board above them which reads the college name, linking back to the theme of college and education.

I liked this picture because it gave out a theme of friendliness and togetherness, which is what, i believe, college helps to achieve. The fact that it is a boy and girl attracts and involves both genders. Also it reaches out and interacts with couples. The fact it is in a classroom links back to the theme of college and learning.

This image shows more of a stereotypical teenager. For example; the use of techonology (mobile phone) is a thing that teenagers are associated with. Also the fact she is completley focused on that, rather than the useful, more educational technology around her, for example the computer.

Analysis of college magazine questionnaire

Analysis of college magazine questionnaire

I designed a college questionnaire to my target audience and straight away I realised that 95% of the group do not read the college magazine, which automatically makes me realise the college magazine is failing. I also found that including things such as; news/events, sports, x-box, fashion, information about the college and jobs would help gain more readers. I found out that 70% of the group were willing to pay 50p for a monthly college magazine. Other things that could be edited onto the image and production of the actual magazine, such as; making it brighter and more colourful. A huge 90% said they would like more articles and information in the magazine, which is easily applicable. Also, the majority of the group asked said they would like subject information in the magazine, so you could include websites they could visit, trips that are being held, help etc. a massive 80% said they would not subscribe to the magazine, however this could be lessened by offering deals or maybe discount, as they are students. Including events that are upcoming would also be a big hit, 85% said they would like a ‘What’s On?’ guide. This could include; sports fixtures, cinema listings and music concerts.
