Pictures

I like this image, because it shows the student and the building in a positive way. However i  am not going to use this image as the Student is not close enough to the camera. The student is also covering up the Ash building sign and i think this is not a good representation of the building that the Student is stood infront off. 

I think that this is a good image as you are able to see the name of the building and the student properly. The only problem with this picture is i will not be able to use this as the Ash sign is in the left third. This is where i will put all the information about what will be featured in the magazine. 

I also think that this will be a good image, this is very similar to the picture that is shown above. This means that i would also not be able to use this image as my front cover as the sign is in the left third

 

Out of all the pictures that i took, I liked this one the most. This is because it shows the student in a positive way. However i wouldnt be able to use this image as the background of my front cover as it doesnt show the student in medium close up. I would be able to cut the student out of the picture and use the student on a different background.

I really like this picture, as it shows the student and three other students in the background. The image also displays the building oak and you can see the sign clearly. Also in the image you are able to see the library, this is good as the library is where many students do there student, which links in with the student who is in the image who is holding his work.

Audience and Price

My Magazine will not be based on a specific social group, I want my Magazine to appeal to everyone at the College including Students and teachers. My magazine will be posted every month, and will have a seasonal theme, as it is coming upto Halloween and bonfire night articles will be printed into the magazine about the recent events. As the college is an academic college there will be recent articles about all the college deadlines such as UCAS. I will also have articles relating the sports department, media, english and music.

The Christmas edition for my magazine will be free, However through out the year the cost of the magazine will be no more then £1.00. As i want to keep my price at a low cost to ensure that everyone will be able to purchase my magazine.
