barcodes.









these are the barcodes i created for my college magazine i used the name of my magazine to personalise the barcode so i wasnt just copy and pasting and already exsisting one.

i created these barcodes on http://www.barcodesinc.com/generator/index.php

final picture

this is the picture i decided to use on my front cover as it was landscape and the person i used was positioned to the right which gave me room on the left for the sub headings and enough room above for the heading  without cuting the head of off the image.

compairing 2 college magazines -2

                            
L- this college magazine also uses student life for the front cover of the magazine, the shot they have used is a medium close up and show the student dress quite trendy but holding books to show he is at college. he is wearing a black jacket and they have also used a black background which wouldn't usually work but they have put a grey glow around the image and also has yellow writing which stands out so it is separate from the background this also makes the image stand out and is the main focus of the front cover of the magazine.
I- this magazine is called college too and looks like it has been made by the students as its taking about the situation they face such as making money on campus and college couture.
I- the values and beliefs of the magazine is that the person is black on the cover which makes it more urban looking
A- the audience for the magazine would be the students of the college as it is aimed at them it shows confidence and acheivemant to the people looking at the magazine as is stood upright and is holding law books.
R-   the representation of the magazine is to show the students what the collage lifestyle is about and by viewing someone on the front with law books shows he is educated and the friendly smile gives a good reputation on the students at the school lastly he is wearing trendy simple clothes which reflects on the fashion now.
