Music industries and institutions
IPC Media is a large UK publisher that has experience publishing magazines like NME for over 50 years. They have expertise in creating magazines for music audiences aged 16-25. However, they would not want to publish a new magazine that directly competes with NME by covering similar indie music genres. Bauer Media is also an experienced music magazine publisher, with titles like Kerrang, Mojo, and Q that cover rock, classic rock, and pop. Bauer could be a better fit for a new R&B music magazine since they have less direct competition in that sub-genre.
Question 1
This document summarizes how the media product both follows and challenges conventions of real music magazines. It follows conventions such as including a masthead, header, footer, barcode, cover lines, contents page layout, images, credits and headlines. It challenges conventions by using multiple fonts and colors, unique image placement, no additional cover images, altered masthead placement, drop cap usage, and modified contents categorization. The goal is to draw attention to aspects while maintaining recognizability as a music magazine.

The Fascinating World of Bats: Unveiling the Secrets of the Night
The Fascinating World of Bats: Unveiling the Secrets of the Night
Bats, the mysterious creatures of the night, have long been a source of fascination and fear for humans. With their eerie squeaks and fluttering wings, they have captured our imagination and sparked our curiosity. Yet, beyond the myths and legends, bats are fascinating creatures that play a vital role in our ecosystem.
There are over 1,300 species of bats, ranging from the tiny Kitti's hog-nosed bat to the majestic flying foxes. These winged mammals are found in almost every corner of the globe, from the scorching deserts to the lush rainforests. Their diversity is a testament to their adaptability and resilience.
Bats are insectivores, feeding on a vast array of insects, from mosquitoes to beetles. A single bat can consume up to 1,200 insects in an hour, making them a crucial part of our pest control system. By preying on insects that damage crops, bats save the agricultural industry billions of dollars each year.
But bats are not just useful; they are also fascinating creatures. Their ability to fly in complete darkness, using echolocation to navigate and hunt, is a remarkable feat of evolution. They are also social animals, living in colonies and communicating with each other through a complex system of calls and body language.
Despite their importance, bats face numerous threats, from habitat destruction to climate change. Many species are endangered, and conservation efforts are necessary to protect these magnificent creatures.
In conclusion, bats are more than just creatures of the night; they are a vital part of our ecosystem, playing a crucial role in maintaining the balance of nature. By learning more about these fascinating animals, we can appreciate their importance and work to protect them for generations to come. So, let us embrace the beauty and mystery of bats, and celebrate their unique place in our world.

- 1. 6. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
- 2. 6. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product? The first thing I learnt on Photoshop was how to edit an image to change the saturation, contrast or the shadow and make it brighter or darker so that it would fit into the background of my magazine and the overall page and to make the image look more appropriate and sharper. I did this with all of my images so that they looked different from how they looked when I took them. I also cropped all of my images so that the main focus of my magazine was the person or subject, not the background.
- 3. 6. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product? I also learnt how to cut an image out from it’s background using the Magnetic LassoTool on Photoshop. This meant that some of my images could be clearer and so that I could layer them on top of a different coloured background. Previously I had used the MagicWand tool, but I found the Magnetic Lasso to be much more accurate when splitting the image from it’s background.
- 4. 6. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product? I learnt how to tilt boxes and images so that they were more interesting for the audience and how to add a stroke or shadow to them so that they had a different effect on the page.
- 5. 6. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product? The main technologies that I learnt were from In Design, as I had never used that programme before yet I had used Photoshop many times.Therefore when I started using In Design there was a lot of features that I needed to know about before creating my double page spread. First, I learnt how to add a coloured box that I could use as a banner for my title, as well as learning how to rotate them and send them backwards so that I could place them behind images on the page.
- 6. 6. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product? I learnt how to place texts into columns and add drop capitals to make the writing look professional and as close to a real magazine as possible. I also learnt how to add strokes on In Design to texts so that they stand out from the background.
- 7. 6. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product? I learnt that that to have a background I would have to add a shape to the background and so I experimented with different colours that I could use to go behind the image and part of the title and eventually decided on black.
- 8. 6. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product? I learnt how to add an image as the background of my texts and to change it into black and white and make it slightly transparent, so that it looked interesting but also clear enough that the text can be seen and read easily.
