Evaluation of the City College Norwich Magazine:

   This is the evaluation for my second project for AS Level Media Studies “the college magazine”.

   The ways in which my City College Magazine use and develop by gathering the real media is that I have use a layout for this magazine just like a real magazine in today’s world would use; this being by displaying the masthead at the top straight across, the most important articles in the left third of the magazine for the reason that if it would be displayed on a shelf it would catch more attention to the readers.

   Also it has the main image in the centre of the magazine with articles that are inside of the magazine but are not so important to be in the left third. There is no skyline or cover lines in my magazine which is a shame because I did have a bit of space at the button and maybe I could have squeezed a skyline at the top however it does have a logo, bar code, date and price.

   My City College Magazine represents a particular social group because its target audience is students age 16 to 24 therefore I aimed to for all the articles, images, photos, layouts and colors to be appealing to them.

   The reasons why the two major magazine publishers might want to publish my magazine would be because it appeals to my target audience, they like the articles that I publish and overall it a is pretty good student magazine or I could publish on a online website such as issue for the reason that it is free therefore my readers could just on it whenever they would want and I would make my money in advertising.

   By looking at my front cover and contents page of the City College Magazine I would say that I am happy with it as it was my first try of doing a college magazine even though it was only two pages but I recognize that I could have included maybe a bit more such as I could have used more than just that little “flower tattoo” from the psbrushes.net to give it a bigger edge, a pull quote and more images in the contents page.
