college prelim


These are possible things that might appear in a college magazine: results day, celebrity secrets, key dates, trip into, reports, journalisms, student accomplishments, clubs and activities, competitions, interview with staff and students.
Image result for college magazine


Both Music and College magazines contain similarities such as the Masthead, barcode as well as the 3 colours. The image should be a student and usually these students are not known whereas in a music magazine there would a famous person which would be known around the world. As well as the background would be different and there would possibly be a theme. The college magazine is a lot more filled up with words.

clash double page spread analysis


  • its about how the kills are back together and then the story continues to next page and it's in a professional
  • Its just one section but two columns
  • the lighting is good and its a two shot but the colours are lifeless which gives that vintage look and matches with the contents page and front cover.
  • it has no pull quote and has no beginning middle end
  • but the structure and alignment is unique as it is in a weird manner

Do dis ting

The genre I have chosen for my magazine is Hip-Hop, but London based hip hop. It firstly originated in Bronx, New York in the 70's and every since, it has grown into many nations and has created many talented rappers with many styles. It is no lie that Hip-Hop has influenced many peoples lives and the way we see people. The father of Hip-Hop is Kool Herc. Currently, the most known rapper is Kanye West however, doesn't necessarily mean he's the best. But it all comes to preference and how you define what makes you the best. Over the years there has been a couple of influential rappers such as B.I.G ,Tupac but both have been killed. And still alive Eminem. Marshall Mathers in my opinion is the best rapper ever and no one could ever be better than him. But in London Hip-Hop grew differently. It created Hip-Hop as we know today as well as trap and grime. Trap is commonly known for being the choice of style for "gangsters" nevertheless it still gives a chance to leave the life they describe in their songs. The most famous channels in which rap videos are uploaded are Linkup Tv, Grm Daily, SBTV, Pacmantv. However, these channels will lead them to success, for an example 67 who now have a contract with Vevo. Growing up and still living in East London, music was really important. Because people who were trying to make songs would be local as they weren't famous. And we would just be supporting them.

Guilherme's intro

Hello, my name is Guilherme. I'm a media studies student who would like to get the best possible grade. I have interest in media, but I especially have more interest due to the fact of graphics. I have studied Graphics Products and I like subjects that have similarities. And I think it is beneficial to do media studies if I would like to be a graphic designer or to have studied graphics products if I would like my future career to work in a media related job. So they are equally as important to me. It is no lie that I prefer Graphics Products but it is as good. I like these subjects because it almost gives me some sort of a mission and tasks which will then narrow down how creative I can be due to the purpose of it.
