Price of magazine
The price of my magazine would be £1.00 to college students and free to full time students and NUS card holders, this price is according to the fact that most students do not have a constant income and cannot afford something that is highly priced. The magazine itself will be published once every month to allow it to be filled with relevant information and to be worth the money that will it will cost.
Target Audience
The target audience that my magazine will concern is male and female college students, within the age range of 16-19 this is due to the majority of the college population being around these ages and split between the genders. The people that I'm trying to target are also inside the E demographic due to most of them being unemployed or part time workers they also fall under the value life style of outer directed due to them attending college which marks them as achievers.

During this animation I have indentified the college that will feature in my preliminary task for my magazine. I have actually chosen Wyke college as the feature, due to the accessability and high standards of cleanliness around the college, making it a picturesque location with a man/woman who would be a a willing participant.
Plus due to the timing restrictions I will have a much wider variety of shots available in the timescale available to me, in addition I am also a student at Wyke so know what's going on around the college.

AS Media Preliminary Task
For my first task I need to, use a program which can edit and manipulate images to produce the front page of a new school or college magazine along with DTP (Desktop publishing), which must feature a student in a medium close up (waist and up) along with laid out text and a masthead. I must also create a mock-up of a contents page to show my grasp of DTP.
