Pictures for college magazine

I took a wide range of pictures for my college magazine for both the front cover and content page. For the front cover I took semi photos of the models which means they are only of the top part of the body. I did this as it is a convention of a magazine and it means the audience will be able to see the models face more clearly.

But for the content page I took photos of my models in groups. I did this because the magazine needs to promote college life in a good way by making it seem friendly and happy. But to improve on the photos I need to have male models as all of mine were female so it really restricts the target audience to one gender where as this is a generic magazine so should appeal to everybody not just one type of person.

Audience Profile

This is my audience profile that I created for my college magazine. It tells me what my target audience is and what there interests are. This will help me decide that the magazine should include and in some ways what it should look like. I gathered this from the data collected from my questionnaire.

definition of a magazine

A magazine is a booklet with a collection of article, pictures and features that are to do with the genre of a magazine. This could be fashion, sport, lifestyle, music, travel and many others. They attract a specific target audience such as a sewing magazine would attract an older audience rather then a rock music magazine would attract a younger audience. Magazines come out weekly, monthly or every six months and this then may effect the price so weekly ones would be cheaper then monthly ones. They may then attract a more wealthy audience.  

Induction assessment - Marmite advert

This advert was created by marmite. At the beginning it attracts your attention with suspension by only giving you a glimpse of the marmite logo on the van and by dropping in words like “recue team” which makes the audience wonder what it is going to be about. Also when you see the family crying over a marmite jar it creates humour so you will want to carry on watching it. They also make it seem like a real TV program such as when they go round finding Animals that have been neglected but instead they are recuing forgotten marmite jars. This may make some people feel said because of the resemblance between the two.

Every lifestyle is shown in this advert such as a family, old gentle man living by himself and a young couple. So this means many people can relate to it and is not very stereo typical. Which also means it makes people think if they have a marmite jar in the cupboard that they have not used and then will go and find it

The message in the advert is very clear it even says it right at the end; “Love it. Hate it. Just don’t forget it.” Many people will perceive this message as don’t just forget about it, eat it or if you don’t like it give it to somebody else who does. This is a very clever marketing stunt and everybody will see the message in the same way, it gets them thinking about marmite so maybe the next time they go shopping they may get some if they haven’t got any or people will eat what they already have and then will go buy some more. So in summary this advert is very effective and sends out a precise message to everybody.
