Outline of the brief - College magazine.

For this task I will be completing the front cover of a college magazine and a draft of the contents page to go with it. The college I will be doing this for is Wyke sixth form college.
The front cover will include a photogragh featuring a student that attends the college, appropraite laid-out text and a mast head. This will be done with the help of programmes such as photo shop. This allows me to manipulate my magazine cover how ever I like. Trimming and transforming pictures may take place and its important to use the right programme for this.
Before completing this task I will research a number of school and college magazines for inspiration and ideas. This will then help me to create my own interpretation of how a front cover may look as well as informing me on what features it should include. I have to think about what students I am trying to aim the magazine at and how it can do this. This is why it is important for me to get the right kind of idea across. This is mostly important when taking my photographs.Using the right kind of student allows the magazine to make a good impression of the college.
