Evaluation of College magazine

My college magazine, WCM, represents the college in a very positive way because it shows how the college believe in their students and that we can all succeed. It also shows that our students are aiming for a more healthier lifestyle, if they have one already or are trying to accomplish one.For my magazine I didn't want to be very conventional because Wyke college is not coventional and is one of a kind so I wanted to show that through my magazine.
I did a lot of things that was conventional such as title in the left hand corner and used red colouring. Also I have four images used on the front page. What I didn't do conventionaly was the layout of using scatterd poleriod photographs to show my other images. Usually a magazine just places the images on the page around the main images.
The audience for my magazine is students ranging from 16 to 19 who live in Hull or the East Riding. My audience is also for students interested in the college and what's going. It aslo will attract students willing to take all the adivice the magazine offer.
My audience could also be staff, teachers and parents of the college students, because they will want to know what is going on within the college and news about it.
To attract my audience into reading the magazine, I have used images of students, so that would make people who know the students want to read on. I have also used a very modern layout which doesn't make the magazine look so serious when in fact it looks very fun.
From  creating this magazine I have learnt how to use the basics of photoshop, for example I can now add text to and image. Also by using the new version of microsoft words i was able to make my images polaroids which I never knew how to do.
In comparason to the Grimsby institute magazine I think that 'GX' magazine looks more proffesional than my 'WCM' magazine but because of this my magazine looks more appropriate for college because its asif a students of the college put it together which appeals to the student audiance knowing its not adults writing about topics.
