Task 8
The document discusses different layout designs for a tabloid newspaper article. The author presents two initial flat plan designs - one mimicking a typical tabloid layout and one resembling special editions seen in research. The author prefers the second design for its uniqueness. Images and fonts are also selected, with the goals of pulling in readers and achieving an informal but readable style befitting a tabloid. The overall designs are refined based on additional research of tabloid newspaper formats and styles.
Evaluation for magazine contents page
The document provides an evaluation of a magazine contents page layout. It discusses what worked well, including the gutter width and effective lead image. It also notes that consistency in style between the cover and contents helped create a unified house style. Areas for improvement include the placement and prominence of the page numbers. Creating the house style and choosing images was easy, while picking concise titles and distinguishing regulars from features was more difficult. The evaluator learned about elements like gutters and professional page design.
Producion reflection
Freddie Fullman reflects on their production of a magazine spread and fanzine. They were happy with how the double page spread turned out despite not having time to finish. They switched up the color scheme while keeping muted red tones. Throughout the fanzine, they used colored borders and backgrounds to create a coherent and visually pleasing design. However, they dislike the final text choice and feel they should have studied more punk style fanzines. They are happy with the professional yet engaging writing in the fanzine.

The planning for the graphic narrative had some weaknesses. The flat plans did not allow for enough variation between pages and used real images that could not be replicated digitally. More time should have been spent planning character placement and text to avoid repetitive pages. However, research of other books helped with props and style. Overall, better planning is needed for consistency and to avoid rushing production.
Summarize
This document provides instructions on how to write a summary by telling the important events or ideas in a shorter version without including opinions. It explains that a good summary includes the most important elements of a story, such as the setting, main characters, problem, and resolution, as well as important details that move the story from the problem to the resolution. The document also notes that a summary should be much shorter than the original story or passage being summarized.
Drafts
The document discusses revisions made to a magazine cover design. It explains that a grey title was initially used because it helped pull the audience in while looking elegant, but issues with pixelation made it look unprofessional. Further revisions standardized the fonts and reduced the number of fonts to improve consistency and professionalism. Colors were kept the same to maintain a theme, with red adding life and black and grey complementing each other and the design elements.
Task 5, Research
Rina Bansal outlines ideas for designing the front cover, contents page, and double-page spreads of a magazine about indie rock and R&B music. For the front cover, she likes using a large image of an artist and listing other artists. For the contents page, she prefers the layout of image 2 and plans to include music charts and band information. For double-page spreads, she will take inspiration from image 1 by including slanted images separated by stripes, with an article below. Her goal is to achieve a professional, cohesive design across the magazine using colors like grey, white and blue.

This document analyzes a digital press sheet (DPS) for a magazine article. It summarizes that the article takes up two pages in the magazine, indicating its importance. There is a block of text on one page with two columns underneath. The main body text fills most of a single page, providing substantial content for readers. The title is larger than the rest of the text to draw attention. A pull quote is placed next to the main image to clearly link it to the subject. The photos are all studio shots of an acoustic guitarist, suiting the magazine's focus on acoustic music. An old film frame around most photos gives a subtle classic feel, hinting at the subject's genre.

Music magazine power point
Music magazine creation. Masthead design, front cover, contents page and double page spread. Mock, first draft and final draft.
Digital graphics evaluation pro forma
The creator intended to adapt the traditional Ugly Duckling story while keeping the main parts the same. During production, they changed the ending and had to make additional changes throughout. While this meant the final product differed from original plans, the changes were not significant enough to alter the overall storyboard and flat plans. The creator likes how they constructed simple cartoon images using shape tasks but found backgrounds and small details challenging with this technique. They feel the final product is suitable for children due to its clear images, simple text, and meaningful story about treating others fairly.
Evaluation q1
This document discusses how the student's media product uses and develops conventions from real media products. It provides several examples:
1) The masthead takes similarities from Q magazine but develops it with different colors and additional connecting text.
2) The contents page is based on Q magazine's layout but develops it with different fonts, sizes, colors, and additional details like a review column.
3) A double page spread is based on NME's bold style and layout but develops it with the student's own color scheme, title treatment, and photo choice.
4) The cover takes ideas from Q magazine like mid-close up shots and bold titles but develops them with different colors and a photo looking in

Task 4 powerpoint
This document discusses the author's attempts at designing newspaper layouts. It describes 5 layout attempts, noting the placement of elements like titles, photographs, and text in each. The first few attempts had a lot of empty space around elements. Later attempts improved readability by splitting text into margins. The final attempt was considered best as it had fewer empty spaces and split text. The document also discusses two additional layouts not confined to boxes, preferring this approach for more flexibility.
Construction Process
The document describes the design process for various elements of a music magazine called Ultimatum. For the cover, conventions like the left third rule and masthead were used along with colors inspired by other rock magazines to appeal to a teenage audience. The contents page was simplified from the original plan to avoid being too busy. It uses the same font and logo as the cover for consistency. The double-page article interior sticks to red and white text to keep it simple and easy to read while maintaining the color scheme of the cover.

Music magazine shot planning
This document discusses the planning and selection of images for a music magazine. It describes 5 photos taken for the magazine. The first photo was originally chosen for the cover but was deemed unsuitable because the artist's face was not clearly visible. The second photo also did not work well for the cover layout. The third photo depicts a guitar and was selected for the contents page.

The contents page effectively uses images and spacing but the green title does not complement the color scheme. The third magazine has a powerful cover image but thin, pixelated text that is hard to read against the dark brown background color. This does not clearly indicate it is for a school magazine.
Media evaluation
The document describes the design process and research behind creating a magazine cover, contents page, and double page spread. Key elements were borrowed from existing magazines like Kerrang, Big Cheese, and Q, including banners, text layout, and box elements. The author experimented with effects like transparency and contrast adjustment to achieve a grunge aesthetic appealing to rock music fans ages 18-30. Feedback indicates their editing and Photoshop skills improved from preliminary to final designs.
Audience Feedback
The document contains feedback from several students on a music magazine design project. The students provided positive feedback, praising the consistent house style, effective use of photography, font and color choices, and layout designs. Some minor suggestions for improvement included experimenting with different fonts, using black and white images instead of color, and filling empty spaces in the layout. Overall, the feedback acknowledged an engaging design that tied all elements together in a cohesive magazine format.
Typography
The document discusses different typography (font) styles and provides examples. It covers 4 main types: serif, sans serif, decorative, and script. Serif fonts have small lines or "flicks" at the end of strokes. Sans serif fonts do not have flicks. Decorative fonts are ornate and not for body text. Script fonts are handwritten styles. Examples are given for each type along with their common uses. Book covers are also analyzed showing effective and ineffective uses of typography and color in the design.
10 book covers and font research
The document discusses different typography (font) styles and provides examples. It covers:
1) Four main font types - serif, sans serif, decorative, and script. Serif fonts have small lines at the end of strokes, while sans serif fonts do not. Decorative fonts are ornamental and script fonts are handwritten.
2) Typography techniques in book covers, such as using images to form words, varying text size for emphasis, and placing text over images. Color use and font styles can represent the book's mood and genre.
3) Specific examples of book covers that effectively or ineffectively use typography and design techniques to represent the book's content or theme.
Different Fonts And Positioning Of Fonts
Robyn Gibson evaluates different font styles and positioning options for a digipak design. She likes a handwritten font that contrasts nicely with one image but not a bold white font on another image. She also comments on fonts being too bold or balanced, and text positioning drawing attention away from or being central to various images.
Mood Board
The document discusses design choices for a music magazine, including font selection, image placement, use of bright colors, and layout designs. Various magazine pages, covers, and contents pages are evaluated for elements like masthead color, pull quotes, and background hues that make key information pop visually or create an appealing aesthetic matching the magazine's music theme.

The document compares the media product's use of forms and conventions to several real magazines. It summarizes how elements like mastheads, backgrounds, photos, and text are implemented on its cover and contents pages compared to examples. Key differences noted are its use of brighter colors, less text, and a single model rather than fashion spreads or illustrations seen in the examples. The goal was to appeal to teenagers while relating to styles of Japanese and Korean pop music magazines.
Pictures for ancilliaries
The document discusses potential photos and textures to use as backgrounds or elements in ancillary products like digipaks. It considers using photos of sand for texture, paintings with interesting colors and shapes, close-ups of paint textures, and leather textures that could make the digipak resemble a wallet.

Digital graphics evaluation pro forma
The document provides guidelines for evaluating a graphic narrative project. It instructs the reader to provide specific details about their work by giving both written and visual examples to explain the project. It also says to find areas of the project to praise by being specific about what is good or could be improved, and to add additional slides as needed. Blank slides should be deleted before submission.

The document summarizes improvements made to a magazine design. It notes that the original design had a contents page with clear structure but the cover image did not fill the space well. The colors used were dull. The improved design features a full-page cover image connecting with the audience and bright, coordinated party colors. The contents page now has a well-structured layout where sections stand out, and colors guide the reader's eye. The only remaining issue is a lack of pictures proportionate to the text on the contents page.
Magazine analysis
The document provides an analysis of three different magazine covers and contents pages: Clash, Loud and Quiet, and Music & Riots. Some key points summarized:
1) The magazines use simple, minimal layouts with neutral colors and varied font sizes and styles.
2) Photographs have a retro, rustic quality and use studio setups, with Clash focusing more on natural shots.
3) Common techniques include placing text over darker image areas, symmetrical formatting, and color/style links between pages.
4) While layouts are clean, the magazines provide inspiration over information through visuals and quotes over blocks of text.
Dp spread analysis
This document contains reviews of two different double page spreads - one for the band My Chemical Romance and one for an unspecified band. The reviews note positive aspects like well-laid out columns and good pictures capturing the essence of the bands. Negative aspects included inconsistent background colors, images not being big enough, and small hard-to-read page numbers. Colors, layout, pictures and readability were some of the criteria used to evaluate the effectiveness of the spreads.
Music Magazine Mood Board
The document discusses design elements the author found inspiring for their magazine design, including photos with different poses, fonts to stand out as headings, geometric shapes that work well together, soft colors, hand-drawn arrows to break up text, simple rug patterns that are not distracting, a pull quote layout with a different colored background, and an interesting way of using a drop cap to present an article. The author considered including natural poses, concerts photos, different fonts, big quotation marks, geometric shapes, photo frames, soft colors, hand-drawn arrows, simple rug patterns, a centered pull quote with different background color, and a drop cap style in their own magazine design.

Magazine analysis
The document analyzes the design elements of four different magazine covers and contents pages. Some key highlights:
- Magazines use contrasting light and dark colors to make text and images stand out. White text on dark backgrounds is a common technique.
- Layouts tend to be simplistic with minimal text and lots of white space. Images are often medium or close-up shots with a retro, rustic quality.
- While text may not be bold, placement over dark areas of images helps visibility. Consistent color schemes and design elements tie covers to interior pages.
- Double page spreads sometimes juxtapose styles but maintain connections through shared colors, fonts, or photo themes between facing pages
Magazine analysis
The document provides an analysis of the design elements of several magazine covers and contents pages, including Clash, Loud and Quiet, and Music & Riots magazines. Some key highlights noted across the magazines include:
- Using white text on darker backgrounds to make the text stand out
- Employing close-up or medium close-up photographs
- Balancing neat layouts with more rustic, older-looking photographs
- Favoring symmetrical and minimalist designs with ample white space
- Incorporating similar color schemes and design elements across pages
- Not overly relying on bold text or images to convey information

Good and bad album covers
- 2. Bad album covers I think this cover is bad because it does not have any detail and the picture used is badly chosen
- 3. I think this cover is bad because of its use of colors and it is just a picture with a border and text.
- 4. This cover is bad because there is nothing but a picture with text. The picture itself makes no sense.
- 5. I think this cover is bad because the text does not fit well and the background does not fit with the picture correctly.
- 6. Good album covers I like this cover because its use of colours are good and the text also fits well with cover. Also the foreground is well detailed.
- 7. I think this is a good cover because it has a good design and the background fits together with the fore ground. Also the way they are joined is good.
- 8. I like this cover because the colours are used well and the cover is very detailed. Also the text fits well.
- 9. This cover is good because the design is very interesting and the colour scheme is very good, the text looks formal and fits with the rest of the cover.
