Prelim Task

Preliminary exercise: using DTP and an image manipulation program, produce the front page of a new school/college magazine, featuring a photograph of a student in medium close-up plus some appropriately laid-out text and a masthead. Additionally you must produce a mock-up of the layout of the contents page to demonstrate your grasp of the program.

Please follow the link below to complete my survey about my college magazine:

Below are the college magazine templates I created for my preliminary task:


















































Below is one of the most important questions' results I asked in my survey. This shows the most popular choices of what people would like to see in their college magazine were:

• Photographs from outside college events
• Information on upcoming events
• Future menu's for The Hub

This is why on the front cover, I chose to mention about 'The Hub' which would attract the readers who want to know more information about it. Also, as people wanted to see information on upcoming events, I chose to place the Netball article on the front page which would benefit those who wanted to know about upcoming events.This bar chart shows the audience feedback on this question I recieved.

This is another graph to show some of the results I obtained by doing an online survey. The question was 'How much would you be prepared to pay for a college magazine?'

The majority of results I collected were the 'Under 50p' option.

Therefore I chose to price my magazine at 50p.
