How can i communicate to my audience effectively?
In lesson we had to think about the best way to communicate our magazine front covers to our target audience and in this case the target audience would be Collage/ 6th Form students.
- Style of language
they style of language used on my magazine used is supposed to be quite art based becuase my College is a media based school.
- Use of slang
There is no use of slang on my covers apart from media based words.
- Is it written formal or informal
i think my covers are written informally.
- The quality of what is being written

Uses & Gratificaton Theory
I have thought about questions that would be effective and what would be required top gratify the reader. i have added a link about what uses and gratification theory means...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uses_and_gratifications_theory
1. What information is provided about the Collage?
On my college front page, i have made sure that i have added what type of collage it is and in this case it is a media and photography magazine. and i have made sure that it is big on the front page so that the reader knows. on my front the main image shows a student looking quite serious and is wearing uniform showing that it is a serious school. the person also looks focused.
2. How does your school mag promote a sense of belonging as a part of a community of readers?
In my school magazine it promotes a sense of belonging to a person that would be interested in art and media and would be interested in going into a media based subject in University etc.
3. What sort of entertainment does the mag provide for the reader?
In my college magazine, there is entertainment in a way of adding competitions so it hooks the reader in and question themselves if they would like to partake in the magazines and quiz's etc.

Questionaire
I have asked the people in my household about my 1st draft and they said this!
Me: What would you like to see?
Step-Dad: Another picture on the bottom because it is the same as the contents
Me: How can i improve both?
Mother: Match colours like the borders
Me: What would make you buy this?
Uncle: I would buy this if it had an eycatching headline
Unfortunately, that was the questions i could ask because the amount of adults where limited. I asked 3 different adults these questions.

Finals?
Contation - The picture of the boy taking a picture shows that he may be hard working and highlights part of the Collages profession which is photography. The red may symbolize a warning for the reader, prehaps that they should pick up the magazine and read it.
Denotation - This contents page has white hands, and there is a constant pattern throughout, the font is red and and in capital letters, the smaller letters are in lower case. There is a picture of a boy taking a picture. There is a logo that is red to match the restt of the magazine, and there are 2 stars, one red and one white and the background is black.
Conotation - Again the significant picture of the girl shows a sense of seriousness and that the school is hard working and focused on their status and profession of the school. The flowers may be there so symbolize the arty side of the school. The 3 pictures showe snap shots of other things offered at the school.
Denotation - The front cover has 1 significant picture of a girl taking a picture of flowers. The other 3 pictures show media related things like using the computer etc. The red hand is significant as it is the same as the contents background. The logo is bigger than the contents page to reveal the name of the magazine. The red borders around the picture matches the colour coordination with the rest of the magazine. The 2 other headlines show the paterns of the colour coordination.
Check out these 2. I'm hoping they are good and i have taken on board advice that Ive been given. Tell me what you think please and I'm hoping they are good enough!
