Idea development/photographs/drafts of magazine cover+contents page

For my front cover i have had to change my original idea as i have not got time now to take pictures in colege of 3 people so i have decided to just take a photograph of me holding a dart (the way i usually hold one) in medium close up. So this will be my main image on my front cover.
This (i think) will be my only image on my front cover.
For drafts of my front cover i have done small drawings in my workbook (3 altogether). I have also done a draft of the contents page, although i do not think that it is correct in the way it is laid out.

LIIAR interpretation of the brief

L- For the magazine the media language will be the masthead which will probarbly be 'Wyke'. Also it will have a medium close up picture of up to three people showing onlt the top halfs of the body.
I- For the magazine the media ideology will be the promotion of darts and trying to make people like darts.
I- For the magazine the media institution will be wyke as it is going to be the masthead.
A- For the magazine the media audience will be anyone who is interested or likes darts or anyone who is at the college and is interested about its success in different sports.
R- For the magazine the media representaion of both genders as in the main image i am hoping to have 2 boys and one girl in the image, it will also show that is for students at college because of the masthead.

Outline of the brief

Using desktop publisher and photoshop, produce the front page of a new school/collge magazine, featuring a photograph of a student in medium close up. Also it must contain some appropriately laid out text and a masthead. I must also produce a mock up of the layout of the contents page.
All of this must be produced by myself. It must also containa  minimum of four photographs taken by me.
For the research i must show eviedence of research in similar magazines, similar potential audience, organisations of models, locations, costumes, work on layouts, evidence of time management and use of digital technology or ICT in the presentation.
For the construction i must show the evidence of framing a shot, using a variety of shot distances, an appropriate shooting material, selecting colour, figure, lighting, objects, settings, accurately using language and use of appropriate ICT for the task.
For the evaluation i must answer some questions like: In what ways does yours print product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real prnt products?
how effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary texts?
What have you learned from your audience feedback?
How did you use new media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?
