I - Publications with a similar target audience would have something in common with my magazine, for example the layout, theme and genre of the magazine. If they were totally different to mine this would be a gap in the market and there style would be completely different to mine in every aspect. I want to create a fun concept around the magazine which makes it interesting to read

I - What message / moral / values do you intend your magazine to convey about your chosen College and your target audience?
The message of the college magazine I want to convey is positivity and productive learning, I want to create a fun concept around the magazine which makes it interesting to read and create the idea of students to want to learn and have fun doing it. I want to create the impression that a college is not just somewhere you go to get A Levels, it is about the experience and the exciting opportunities on the side. The moral would be what the reader of the magazines comes away with, and that would be the liveliness and positivity of the college. I don’t want my magazine to look too formal so it can relate to the target audience which will mostly will be the students attending the college. The values I intend my magazine to convey are fun and independent learning. Another aim of the college magazine might be to keep the college students in touch with the issues that are going to affect them in a specific stage of their life. There will be lots of things they will be unsure about and will no doubt have a lot of decisions to make, there hopefully the magazine will offer them supportive advice on how to deal with the issues.
A - Briefly outline the target audience (you can develop it later when you've made more decisions)
16-18 College students who are seeking general help and guidance or just checking up on the college and its events.
R - How do you intend your target audience / College / and the students of that College to be represented? i.e. positively / negatively / accurately / stereotypically / unconventionally? etc.
I want to represent the college students in a conventional way, using the aspects of more freedom and independent learning away from the classroom. I also want to interpret the students positively and use figures to show this.
