Foundation portfolio

To start off my portfolio, we began with a preliminary task. This involved looking at the key media concepts and trying to see how this criteria would fit into the design and production of my college magazine. The acronym of LIIAR was used. LIIAR stands for: Language, Institution, Ideology, Audience and Representation.

Language- The overall layout of the magazine, this includes: font colour and sizes, logo's, images, proportions, the presentation and visibility of the magazines logo

Institution- The magazine is targeted at Wyke College students but teachers or parents or guardians of students may wish to read the magazine. My main target audience is students that are mainly ages between 16-19

Ideology- The magazine will show what a good college that Wyke is, that many of it's students are successful in their academic subjects and no matter what their background is, everyone has the same chance of passing. That all students are treated equally and have equal quality of education.

Audience- My main target audience are students aged between 16-19, though there are some older students, it will also be aimed at them too. I also know that there is an unequal ratio of boys to girls, the ratio is estimated at: 64:36 to girls, I am still going to make my magazine gender-bias, where both male and females can read and enjoy it

Representation- The students will be represented in this magazine as if it was a full magazines, students could write stories and experiences of the college. The magazine will represent the college, as a kind of a promotional magazine.
