SNC football player perfect 11
Dream team
I then asked Jack what his dream team would be and the reasons he would have them in his team.
Jack said “I would play a 4-4-2 system with a defensive and attacking midfielder.”
Position - Player - Reason for being in the team
Goalkeeper - Pepe Reina -Good kicker
Left back - Evra - Athletic
Centre back - Terry - Leader
Centre back - Vidic - Heart
Right back - Bosingwa - Athletic
Left midfield - Messi - Creative
Defensive midfield - Mascerano - Good tackler
Attacking midfield - Kaka - Clever
Right midfield - Ronaldo - Free kick specialist
Attacker - Rooney - Great all rounder
Attacker - Drogba - Great presence
I would either like this to be shown as an actual football pitch layout with pictures of the players with the reasons for them to be in the team around the pictures or in a simple list format of the players name, picture and reason.

I also like the way Ipswich Town layout interviews with academy players in the programmes, heres a picture of it!

Job roles in magazine industry
Job roles in the magazine industry
Thomas Stone
Photo editor
· A photo editor works closely with the editor and editor in chief so that when they edit the pictures they change them to exactly what the editors want them to look like for the specific articles.
· Photo editors also oversee the photography that appears in a magazine. They also decide what photographer to hire for what type of shoot they want for that particular article.
· Photo editors very rarely take pictures for their magazines, instead photo editor’s work with the editors to decide what the photos will be and how they will complement the text.
· Even though most photo editors don’t take the pictures they still need to know a lot about photography itself and have many contacts in that industry.
Photographer
· Many photographers are freelance, meaning they work for themselves and go from job to job with different companies. They work on one project then move onto the next project. Or could even work on multiple projects at once.
· They get given an artist, model etc to work with for the magazine/newspaper article and try to get the best out of the person they are working with.
· They would get paid for the a days work instead of how many magazines are sold, so it’s better for photographers to work with various magazines at once to get the best money.
Editor in chief
· An editor in chief is a publication's primary editor, having the final say and responsibility for the majority of the operations.
· The editor in chief has many roles in the magazine industry. These include proofreading all the articles and they also design the layout of the magazine/newspaper. Furthermore, they decide what stories are put in the issue and what writer does them.
· Other things that the editor in chief does are to supervise the employees, and to encourage the salespeople to sell more adverts. However, many editors-in-chief take an entire page of space to introduce the issue. So the readers of the magazine know what the issue will be about and what the editor wants the reader to get out of the magazine.

Ideas for what to go into the magazine
Ideas for college magazine
Thomas Stone
Themes/Styles
· I think for the theme it should be done where everything on each section is about the in season activities. For example, the fashion pages have ideas for the nearest season. Sport pages give information about the in season sports. Music pages will have the perfect play lists for that season e.g. for Christmas, summer etc. Movie pages review the films that have just come out.
· The notion of having everything in season would make the magazine flow even though there are lots of different parts to the magazine to attract different audiences. However, if everything is up to date people will want to read it because they will think they are getting something before everybody else and more people will want to read it.
Things to go in it
Different sections;
· Things going on around college.
· Local things happening in Suffolk. Different events like, sport, music and clubs etc.
· An interactive page with students saying what they think of the new building and what things could be improved or changed.
· Sport section, both professionally and college results/fixtures/leagues.
· Fashion- The in season things to be worn.
· Music- Latest artists, albums coming out. Local and national.
· Films/DVD’s- Reviews.
· Whole pages of photographs in between articles.
What I’m doing for issue one
· I have the role of photo editor in issue one. This means I will have edit any photographs that the photographers give me to go into the final magazine.
· I have also chosen to do a sport section for the magazine called “Sport Zone”
· This will include;
o Pictures of the games/training.
o Upcoming fixtures and results for the college teams
o League tables.
o Interview with a couple of the players, asking about the course they do and the sport they represent the college in.
o Match reports of the games.
