Hi All,

Can't say I'm happy this week with the number of College Magazines up on blogs.

Only person who has completed both the College Mg and contents page with a description and therefore Blogger of the week is:

NIALL COYLE!

Well done! The closest to complete thereafter are Declan, Laura, Trevor and Kevin but you all need to put a description of your choices that you made in designing your magazine.

The rest of you need to get this stuff uploaded please!! Thanks

Work for Thursday 26th January 2012

For this lesson I want you to have a look at Carmel College's Magazine and begin to analyse it. You will need to look at the following aspects:

• Who is the Target Audience?
• How do you know it is for this Target Audience?
• How does it engage the target audience?
• What is the ideology of the College from looking at the front:
• What are there priorities?
• What do they consider important? How do they get this across

• What image have they used? Why? What Camera Angle have they used?
• What is the Mise En Scene of the cover? Why?
• Would this successfully engage the reader?
• Does the front cover reflect the contents?

Have a go at analysing this cover and I WILL CHECK what you have done! ANY illicit youtube watching will be found out!!!

You've been warned!!!

Enjoy! :)
