Foundation Portfolio - Preliminary task

Producing a college magazine front cover and contents page.

As this is the beginning of the foundation portfolio preliminary task we looked at how the key media aspects could be applied to produce a front page of a college magazine to the best of our ability. We used the acronym - LIIAR - which means Language, Institution, Ideology, Audience and Representation. They could be applied to my project in this way:

Language - The print layout (involving text). Formal or informal language, font, text colour, logo creation, images and proportion.


Institution - We control the production process. We can choose the content inside the magazine (layouts logos etc) The Storys come from Wyke!


Ideology - Respect, equal treatment, opportunity and great belief in education.


Audience - The magazine Will be aimed at all wyke students, age group 16 - 19. 64 percent of which are female


representation - Storys contributed by the students will be represented in the magazine. Type face and choice of photo also play an important part
