Interpritation of The Brief

I shall produce a cover page and a contents page of a college magazine, I shall use Wyke College as the subject of my magazine, This magazine shall report on all manners of college life and shall inform and entertain.

What aspects shall be considered in the content of this magazine?

I shall approach the design of the content of this magazine by making it as relevant as possible to my subject, I shall do this by considering the LIIAR acronym:

L - Language - I shall consider what style of language would be suitable for this magazine and what to include (non bias statements, fluent content) and what not to include (profanities, language not suitable for the purpose of this magazine, non specialist vocabulary).

I - Institution - I shall consider the type of institution that I am representing, and i shall mediate the content accordingly, meaning that it shall only represent the college suitably and will not criticise the college or represent it in a particularly negative light.

I - Ideology - When designing the magazine I shall consider the approach and beliefs that the college hold regarding education, and I shall represent their ideology. Every part of my media work shall contain ideology and I should carefully think about how I represent the ideology of the college and myself at the same time.

A - Audience - I shall consider the audience that I am appealing to, and as this is a mass audience (the whole body of students, staff, governors and corporate sponsors of the college) I will make sure that my magazine is suitably aimed at all of these individuals.

R - Representation - I shall consider how I present the institution and how I represent the different social, ethical and gender groups. I think that as long as my content is unbias towards any certain sectors of these groups then my magazine will be suitably mediated for all of these audiences.

What aspects of design shall be considered?

I shall consider the colours, style, house style, shapes, alignment and font used in my media product and shall consider the denotations of these aspects of design. I shall try to make the design as fluent as possible and use relevant features, colours and house style for the use of an educational institutions magazine.
