Foundation Portfolio - Preliminary Task

Producing a college magazine front page & contents page

For the Foundation Portfolio Preliminary Task we looked at the 5 key concepts that need be applied when producing a college magazine. These 5 key concepts are shown through the acronym LIIAR.

Language - The language is the layout of the magazine, the size of the font, the photograph, the masthead, the colour, the size of the text, the colour of the text.


Institution - Wyke college, a high achieving college in the East Riding that attracts more students from the East Riding than Hull itself.


Ideology - The message you want the magazine to put forward. The values of the college, the values that the pupils have towards the college. Including achievement, respect, aspiration, education.


Audience - The audience of the magazine are the students at wyke college, the staff that work at wyke college and students aged 16-19 from Hull and the East Riding.

Representation - The magazine is representing the college and the people on it, the stories, how the text and photographs represent the meaning of the stories, camera angles.
