Here is my mock up front cover magazine for TRC.

Following typical conventions from other magazines i created a strong representation good enough to be used as it stands. To add verisilimilitude to my work main key aspects such as mise-en-scene, font styles, sell lines, mode of adress e.t.c needed to be present.

Constructing my masthead i used the serif font Times New Roman this giving the magazine an edge of importance and power which is nesercery as TRC stands as a name. The colours of the masthead i also use throughout the page this sets a simple theme going on and compliments the overall feel to the magazine letting the audience know its about a college magazine talking about college issues. The rest of the sell lines on page are Sans serif fonts this sets a less formal register and interacts with the audience on a peer-to-peer level. With this the magazine has a very friendly tenor to it with postive connotations, the lines " highest grades as of yet "and " B-ball team in great win streek" give confidence to the students urging them to continue impressing the college. I also used rhetoical questions as this drags the target audience in to read on.

The image i used was a representation of a sucessful student attending TRC. Having a mediam close up alowed me to capture the facial expression and body movement showing the student over looking a situation and having a minute to him self. The fact he is smiling also helps sell the magazine and has anchorage to the text on the right hand of the page.
