Ideology

Ideology is the ideas behind a set of media text. it hard to explain Ideology but in a simple term,  in a photo it is the ideas and the meanings behind the photo. 

For my Deyes High newsletter, the Ideology behind it i want to portray a traditional school, with modern aspects of education. to make it look traditional photos willl be important, most probably one of the main school building with the ivy on the outside of it.  This defnes a traditional school.  to give it an modern aspect of education the students willl have to be photographed with modern pieced of technolagy such as Apple Ipads and state of the are computers.

The students welfare should also be a main priority, with this Ideology this can be portrayed with safety within the school, for this i believe a photo with students walking with a teacher, and talking aswell. this will definately portray good ideology as it clearly shows the need for the students welfare.
Another Ideology for my school newsletter is to portray students exam results. this is highly important to show off as it will show the high level of education at Deyes High. to do this there should be a section for this to be displayed clearly, it will be interesting for parents/ carers to read as it will show them how their oupils are doing in school with exam results.

Music Mag Genre

For my music magazine i have been researching into mulitple types of genres.  To do this i have been researching on the internet all music magazines and their genre. i wanted to look into more urban music genres such as Hip Hop so i looked at the magazine XXL.  this was an ideal magazine as it is the genre i want to base my music magazine off from. So for my music magazine my chosen genre is Hip Hop.
The image below is the front cover of XXLs magazine.  it is a basic layout and very simple.
The simplicity with this layout works as the colours are all matchingm  the main colours are Red, black & white.

Newsletter Review

With the Deyes there is no real link with its correct audience.  the first page is set out differently to all the rest, there is way too much text on the opening page, too much text will just make the reader less intyerested in reading the text.  so a clear need of editing with the text in this newsletter is needed.

There is a small image of the head teacher in the centre of all the text.  if the newletter wants to attract readers and keep them intwerested in the text then a more interesting image is needed,  as there is alot of text in this front cover there should be a larger image to space the text out.  Down the side of the front cover the margin is covered in a light blue, red & turquoise print. the title of this newletter is an electric blue with yellow text, these colours are too bright for a newletter and does not match with the text that is used throughout the newletter.

Throughout the Newletter there is no clear target market for this newletter,  it should specifically be for the parents or guardians of the students of the ongoings of the school as the stuydents will have already been told the ongoings in their form time.  Since it should be aimed at parents it should be set out differently, there is a section called 'puzzle time'  this is a waste as this woul be filled out by students or young children but it is aimed at a older generation so this is not needed in this newslewtter,  it is meant to contain information for the parents ort guardians to be advised on.  the whole newletter has the majority of it covered with text.  there should be more images to attract readers than just having text which is boring for readers.
