L.I.I.A.R. of College Magazine 2

Language: Again the colours in this text are bright, and are also bright on the actual model, this draws attention to her, which compliments nicely with the main cover line, because it is about being noticed and letting them have their say. also having the banners up, and difference colours behind her, being her out because she is in a deep red jumper. Using yellow and green together, creates a contrast, making the rosette on her left shoulder stand out further. This also attracts attention as the colours are so shocking, which appeals to the reader. Also the girl is brown haired, as they have not used a  blond haired girl, shows they are stereotyping, suggesting that brunettes are more intellectual than those with blond hair.

Institution: The institution are wanting to show that they support having school councils, and letting children have their say, about schools.

Ideology: The ideology if this text is to show that children do in many way have power, and are able to voice their opinions. Furthermore to try and show teachers that by having a "mock election" you are in fact encouraging that child to become interested in politics. So they are wanting to show positivity, about this subject, and persuade teachers that this is a good thing, and they too should agree with this practice.

Audience: This magazines target audience is young, modern teachers. The reason for this is because they are using modern TV shows as a  play on words, which a younger, more modern teacher may be more likely to be aware of, and enjoy such a programme as opposed to a teacher of an older generation.

Representation: The model on this text is represented in a smart way, due to the way she has been dressed, notice that her tie is all the way to the top of her neck, showing that she is smart and representing her school in a good fashion. Also she has a smile on her face, to signify her enjoyment of what she is doing. finally, the model is standing tall, and seems to fill up most of the text's space, showing power and dominance, although being a child, this is how she is being represented, she is almost looking down on the reader, suggesting that she has control, however this image is made softer by the fact that the model is smiling.
