Intentions for College Magazine, using LIIAR.

Before putting my college magazine together I am going to use make a LIIAR written plan of my ideas so that I am aware fully of what I am going to put into my magazine and I can also make sure that I am fully aware of what the guidelines for the magazine are.

Language:

• Because the brief states clearly that I must use DTP so I must take all the pictures myself myself and edit and make the front cover of the magazine using an image manipulation program. The brief also states that I must use a Mid-shot on the front cover of the magazine, this means the picture should only show a person from around waist height upwards. I am also going to experiment using different angles when taking my images so that I can show that this is the most appropriate style for the cover. It will also show that I have thought about using other various shots and what the different shots do to the front cover image as a whole.
• I am also going to experiment using different colours when making my front cover so that I am aware which colour looks best and what different connotations from the audience may relate to the colour which I have used. (Eg, Red- Passion, Green- Envy & Growth etc.)
• I am also going to make sure the font style is consistent throughout. The font style I use must also be easy to read and must also stand out from the background colour and image which is used. It must also look professional so that the magazine fits in with the conventions of other magazines.

Institution:

• Because the magazine is not for one college in particular, the magazine will be more of an independent magazine like many other magazine such as Now magazine and various others.
• The college magazine will be mainly produced for students at age 16+, this will mean that the magazine will have to appeal to this kind of audience and contain stories which they will be interested.

Ideology:

• The main morals which I will use will be included in my magazine through anchorage which will relate to the images which are used throughout the magazine. The main morals which I will use in my magazine is 'Help when its Vital' I chose this as a slogan so that the moral of the magazine would be known to the audience. I felt this was a good moral as it goes with the college & learning idea.

Audience:

• The audience for this magazine will be teenagers, either in further education or considering the idea.
• I will make the magazine appropriate for this type of audience by including things which will appeal to them, such as stories to do with things which are going on within different colleges as well as including these stories I am also going to include images which are appropriate for the students which will be reading the magazines and which relate to the stories which are in the magazine.

Representation:

• It is important in this magazine to represent things in a realistic way so that it is more obvious to the audience what college life is really life and it is also important that the information which is given out is true as the teenage audience can be impressionable. I must also represent the information in a informative way.
• When making the magazine I will make sure that all parts of it will be related to the context of the magazine.
