Choice of College.

The college I have chosen to base my college magazine on is the college I attend Wyke college.
I decided on this college due to the fact I believe I would find it easier to include features for my contents page with current activities taking place around the college.

Target Audience.

The target audience for my college magazine in the demographics group would fairly obviously be current students or slightly younger and looking into attending the college so my age rating would be between 15-19.
My magazine would also interest both girls and boys due to the similar percentages in quantity of both genders at the college.
Also the Socio-Economic groups I have chosen to base my magazine around and aim at would be (possibly) D but very much so E.
Now for the psychographics part of explaining my reasoning of target audience.
I believe that my magazine would aim more at the more hardworking student who wishes to strive (achievers) but also if a not so positively motivated student was to read it, it would still apply and attempt to urge them to succeed.
So more aimed towards the inner-directed person.

Price.

I would publish my magazine once a fortnight and release it on the Monday morning free of charge.
My reasoning for all three of my previous ideas follow as:
I would make it free of charge to support my chosen socio-economic group (E),
as most students who aren’t earning money or even if they are wont be willing to fork out money to pay for something of which they are used to be given for free and just flicking through and not really caring for.
My explanation for releasing it on a Monday morning would be that my magazine would contain current events and future events for upcoming two weeks, events such as, enrichment times, social events etc.
And finally my reasoning for selling my magazine once every two weeks.
I feel that students would lose interest quickly if it was weekly as it was free they’d simply feel as if we was overloading them with information it’d be more like a bulletins list rather than a magazine in my opinion, mostly just to prevent my readers from straying away from it.
