The 5 main areas that will structure my magazine page are :



Language: In the media, are technical terms that these include an appropriate headline that is specific to he medium. Such as Mastheads, Bylines, pull quotes ans strap lines etc.

Photos and text which i will have created and manipulated if needed.

Denotation and Connotation are another main factor for language.

Institution:This factor is the promotional and advertising element, such as advertising companies or colleges etc. This is were i can urn a usually boring typical college magazine into something that actually appeals to students. To do this in my magazine i will have to use formal and informal structure to the magazine.

Ideology: Is a shared system of beliefs and values. These are split into two main points.
Explicit - something that is expressed. Eg. Wyke offers learning.
Implicity- how things are represented Eg. Wyke offers a range of courses

Audience This is the part where the magazine has to find which population of people the magazine is targeted/aimed for. so for the college magazine i will make it appeal to college students, i also need it to help them in either picking the correct choices or too answer some of the questions that they do not understand.

Representation this is how social groups/ individuals are represented in a media text. This could be age, gender and social class. These groupings could be represented in a stereotypical way. Such as the tv programme Shameless. This is represented as a underclass society. Using stereotyped people to appear downgraded.
