The document discusses pictures that were considered but not used for a magazine double page spread. The first picture was not used because the musician did not look directly at the camera, which is important so readers can interpret what the picture is about. The second picture was also rejected for the same reason - the subject was not looking at the camera. The pictures that were used did follow magazine conventions by having the subject look directly at the camera to engage readers and signify the meaning and story being told.

Altered photos
The document discusses photo choices for different sections of a music magazine. A photo of a band in a location typical for indie rock photos will be used on the contents page to appeal to the target audience. Another photo featuring a plain background and direct eye contact will serve as the front cover to draw attention to the image. A third photo shot from a closer perspective in the same location but with direct eye contact is selected for the double page spread for its suitability for an accompanying article.

The document discusses choosing photos for a music magazine. The author selects a photo for the contents page that features a band in an indie rock setting to appeal to the target audience. Another photo is chosen for the front cover due to its plain background, angled shot of the subject looking at the camera, and rebellious facial expression. A third photo is picked for a double-page spread for also having the subject look directly at the camera on a plain background to allow text, as desired by the audience.
Media magazine analysis
- The document discusses the design choices made for a media magazine focused on alternative/indie rock music. This includes selecting a "Desolation" logo in a broken font to fit the theme, using photos of people with serious expressions holding props like guitars, and editing photos in black and white or high contrast to match the genre. QuarkXPress was used to lay out the front cover, contents page, and double page spread, applying these visual style elements across the magazine design.
Justification of image choices
Katrina Morton conducted a photo shoot for a music magazine. She aimed to capture images that represented music creatively while seeming candid. The shoot took place in a graffiti-covered area and music studio. Morton chose shots that highlighted the models and background elements like equipment to portray the magazine's focus on music. She selected images that told a story and drew attention without looking overly staged. Morton provided justification for her selected shots and why others were excluded from the magazine.
Evaluation question 2
The document compares images from a magazine cover featuring a model and images of Keith Richards and Slash. Some key similarities and differences are noted:
- Both the model and Keith Richards look directly at the camera to engage the audience, while the model sits more relaxed than Keith.
- Both images feature guitars, an iconic rock symbol meant to appeal to the intended audience.
- The model is younger than Keith Richards, aiming to attract a younger readership to the magazine.
- The casual clothing of the model aims to portray a "laid back" image rather than a staged photo shoot look.
- Backgrounds for the model and Slash images include alcohol and cigarettes to portray a rock and roll lifestyle
Unaltered photos
The document discusses several potential images considered for the cover of a music magazine but ultimately not selected. Reasons for not choosing images included backgrounds being too busy and not music-related, facial expressions and poses not fitting the magazine's genre, and not leaving enough space for cover text. The final image selected allowed for a rebellious side-on facial expression and more room for cover lines.
Photo Shoot Number 1
This document summarizes the goals and outcomes of a photo shoot. The photo shoot was used to experiment with different poses, styles, and ideas that could be used for a future magazine shoot. Some poses worked well while others did not. The photo shoot also helped the model practice with lighting and styling. Reviewing the photos afterwards helped determine which poses and styles would be most appealing and effective for the target magazine audience.
Effective Images
The document discusses 5 potential images for use in a music magazine article or cover. Picture 1 shows an empty stage that could represent an artist's tour. Picture 2 shows stage lights that could highlight an artist in the center. Picture 3 is a plain white background suitable for a cover photo. Picture 4 is a full-length shot of an artist that could be used on the cover or in an article. Picture 5 shows a recording studio booth that could accompany a paragraph about recording.

Mise en scene
The document discusses various elements that will be used for a photo shoot for a music magazine, including props, lighting, poses, costumes, and locations. Props like cameras, makeup brushes, and microphones will be used. Different lighting techniques like high key lighting, backlighting, and natural lighting will be employed to create different moods. Poses will be chosen that suit a girl band and convey a positive image. Casual yet fashionable high street clothing in neutral colors will be used for the band's costumes. A suitable location portraying the right characteristics for the music genre and band will be selected.
In what ways does your media product use
1. The document discusses how the author's media product, a magazine called Alternative, uses and develops conventions of real indie music magazines like Loud and Quiet.
2. Key elements that emulate real magazines include a prominent masthead, clean design, single artist on the cover, and placement of elements like barcode and issue details. However, some elements like boxed text on pages challenge conventions.
3. While the contents page design differs from magazines that use large central photos, the double page article spread follows conventions using photos and layout. Overall the magazine draws from real examples but puts its own spin as promised by its 'Alternative' title.
Rejected images
The document discusses reasons for rejecting several images for use on the front cover of a music magazine.
1. Some images were rejected because they were slightly blurry or had too many colors, which would not look professional or appeal to the target audience.
2. Other images showed the subject smiling and wearing a tiara, making the photos seem too nice and fashion-focused rather than appropriate for a music magazine genre.
3. Cutting off body parts like legs or hands in some photos also led to rejection for lack of professionalism.
Media eq 2
The document discusses the effectiveness of products created to advertise a film, including a poster, magazine, and trailer. The poster and trailer are deemed successful because they incorporate sepia tones, avoid overpowering colors, showcase the storyline and main characters, and provide relevant information like the release date and actors in a simple way. While research was done, the author found it difficult to design the magazine to both relate to their film and fit the conventions of the romance genre.
Planning
Mia Hyde is designing a magazine called BEAT that focuses on rhythm and blues (R&B) and indie rock music. She conducts research on R&B, including its origins in the 1940s from blues and jazz. Mia decides to change the focus to indie rock to better appeal to her target audience. She explores different photography techniques like close-ups, medium shots, and landscapes. Mia works on layouts, adjusting images and text on the cover and double page spread. She encounters challenges in placement but finds solutions to create a cohesive design for her music magazine.
Props and costumes
The document discusses props and costumes for a magazine photo shoot. It plans to use both dressy and casual outfits adhering to rock music conventions to portray the main artist as a style icon. Props include a guitar, microphone, and magazines to show the artist's serious performance side as well as fun aspects to make the magazine exciting and avoid stereotypes.
Evaluation question 2
Sophie White conducted three photo shoots for her magazine to represent different audiences. The first was set in the 1950s style to appeal to both young and old vintage lovers. The second shoot had a 1930s mystical theme to display vintage fashion wearably. For the cover, she used a photo from the 1930s shoot with warm sunset lighting. Additional photos were taken on location to illustrate magazine articles. Sophie planned her shoots carefully considering location, model, equipment and permissions. She used limited editing to keep an unaltered scrapbook look, but recognizes better lighting could have improved professionalism.
Questions of intent double page spread blog
The document discusses the design of a double-page magazine spread. It will feature 3 columns of text on the left page interviewing a new artist, with a large image on the right page of someone recording in a studio. This layout was chosen to be easy to understand while representing the story and appealing to teenage readers as the target audience.
Professional Photography
The document discusses selecting and constructing photography for a music magazine. It examines the work of two photographers, Tom Barnes and Mark Latham. For Tom Barnes' photography of a band, the document's author likes an image that is atypical and draws the audience in with its serious tone, plain black background, and use of lighting to emphasize the subjects. They suggest it could work well as a double-page spread in the magazine. For Mark Latham's live concert photography, they like an image that captures a real performance moment and uses a low camera angle to make the subject appear powerful. They say it could be featured but not as a central image, as it is an action shot.
Photoshoot 3
The photographer summarized the second photoshoot of their main model for a music magazine. Wide shots of the model by a guitar will likely be used for the front cover, while medium shots of her holding the guitar could feature inside. Some background editing may be needed using cloning tools to make settings like brick walls appear more appropriate for the genre. Final photos were taken between trees and on a bench holding the guitar to allow flexibility in layout.
Photos
The document discusses photos taken by Beth Cox for use in a music magazine. For the front cover, she chose the first image as it shows direct eye contact. For the contents page, she selected the second photo as it has a less serious tone. The first photo of the double page spread was chosen as the model looks directly at the audience in a medium close up shot. Some photos will also be used as smaller images on the contents page to give readers a sneak peek behind the scenes.
Photoshoot analysis henry
The photographer took multiple shots of a model for a magazine cover using different clothing and lighting. They used a tripod and additional lighting to improve image quality. Their favorite shot was of the model smiling slightly in a shirt that suited the genre of music. They felt the photos followed conventions of magazine covers by being sharp, clean shots without direct eye contact, making the magazine feel less formal.
Task11 original images
The document discusses why an image of Runa was chosen for the magazine contents page and cover. For the contents page, the image depicted her holding a microphone, suggesting music, and wearing formal clothes suited for R&B rather than hip hop. For the cover, the image would be easier to edit with Photoshop to have a white background and showed her looking at the camera to connect with audiences, as is conventional for covers. It was also used because accessories were clearly visible, indicating the music genre.
In What Ways Does Your Media Product Use
The document discusses how the media product, a magazine, challenges conventions of existing music magazines by combining indie and jazz genres. It uses photos and styles from both indie and jazz magazines but aims to fuse them into a unique style that represents fun-loving yet sophisticated music fans. While maintaining typical magazine structures like mastheads and columns, unconventional design elements like rough fonts, Polaroids, and unusual color schemes add an indie flair. Photos of eclectic, individualistic subjects further distance it from typical gossip magazines to appeal to serious music lovers.
Photography Plans
This document discusses photography ideas for a double page spread (DPS) in a magazine.

They saw an outdoor DPS in woods they liked and plan to photograph their model outside to appeal to their target music magazine audience. The document also includes lower quality second photographs that may not all be used.

My evaluation
On the front cover of the magazine, the author uses a male model represented as a bit of a thug to appeal to the target male audience of late teens. Throughout the magazine, the author aims to represent the target audience of middle class teenagers through the casual clothing and appearances of the models. While trying to include diversity, the magazine unintentionally shows bias towards featuring only white British people due to limitations. The author considers publishers like IPC who distribute similar magazines as potential partners due to their large audience reach and expertise in marketing magazines across different platforms.
Evaluation question 1
This document summarizes how the media product, a music magazine, uses conventions of real music magazines. It discusses including a masthead that represents the genre, using people around the target audience's age as celebrities to be relatable, including interviews and pull quotes like other magazines, and employing a classic double page spread layout with image on one side and columns of text on the other. The goal was to create a magazine that would look professional and appeal to the target teenage female audience by mirroring techniques found in existing popular music magazines.
Evaluation question 1

Question 1
Emily stuck closely to conventions for the front cover and content page of her magazine. For the front cover, she followed typical magazine layout conventions like using the rule of thirds and including pricing and issue information. The content page also used standard elements like section headings and preview images. However, in the double page spread Emily developed conventions somewhat by having the artist face the camera without visible expression or props and including text around the image rather than on a separate page. Overall, she mostly adhered to real magazine conventions but took some small steps to develop them in the double page spread layout.
The Screenshots
The document discusses the process of designing a magazine cover and contents page. It describes choosing and editing photos to use, designing coverlines and mastheads, and arranging layouts. The goal was to attract teenage girl readers by including fashion, music, and topics of interest like horoscopes and puzzles. Photos were edited to pop out and draw attention, with coverlines used to entice readers to learn more inside. The color scheme and creative designs aimed to stand out from other magazines and bridge the gap between fashion and music publications.
Photos i have used
This document discusses the use of photos in an indie magazine. Several photos are selected to illustrate articles and layouts because they fit the magazine's style, show musicians appropriately, and depict subjects like festival fashion clearly. Other photos are rejected for being unfocused, having hand gestures that don't fit the genre, or not looking positive enough. One photo works well once edited to be brighter and show the model smiling confidently.
Evaluation question 1
The document discusses how the media product follows conventions of real music magazines in its design and layout. It includes several design elements commonly found in music magazines, such as a masthead, limited use of images, consistent color scheme and fonts, inclusion of cover lines and quotes, page numbers on the contents page, and contact information. However, it also challenges some conventions by using the image as the background of an article spread rather than just featuring the image, and by keeping the actor's appearance consistent across images rather than varying outfits. The document analyzes both how the product adheres to typical magazine structures and conventions as well as how it diverges from some expectations.

Production Stages of Double Page Spread
This document outlines the stages of production for a magazine double page spread. It began as a basic layout but lacked the polish of real magazines. Over four stages, the author made several changes: removing a box listing songs, centering the headline, increasing the headline size, and adding a bottom bar indicating the page number. By the final stage, the double page spread better resembled a professional media product through these iterative improvements.

Semiotics
Semiotics is the study of signs and how they are used to communicate meaning. It is broken down into three branches: semantics, which examines the relationship between signs and what they refer to; syntax, which studies the formal structure of signs; and pragmatics, which analyzes the effects of signs. Semiotics has important anthropological dimensions and can be used to study all cultural phenomena as forms of communication, according to Umberto Eco. The importance of signs has been recognized throughout the history of philosophy.

EED - The Container Port PERFORMANCE INDEX 2023
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

Analysis of Magazine Pictures 2
- 2. Magazine Pictures – Double Page Spread – Pictures which were not used This is the picture which I was initially going to use for my double page spread, however I decided not to use this picture, the reason I didn’t use it was because the musician in the photo does not look straight at the camera which is a negative factor, as in all photos whether it is for a magazine or not for a magazine the person who is in the picture should look straight ahead so that people can interpret what the picture is telling them. The reason for me not using this picture is also the same reason why I did not the first picture, the musician should be looking into camera, so that it looks like he is saying something that can be interoperated by the reader of my magazine, it should follow conventions of typical magazine pages.
- 3. Magazine Pictures – Double Page Spread – Pictures which were used These are the pictures which I initially used for my magazine double page spread, now as I explained the reason for which I didn’t use my first pictures were that they did not follow any of the typical magazine conventions, which were that the person on the magazine page should directly look in to camera so that the reader can interoperate what the picture or what the story is about, it signifies the meaning behind the story, it helps to attract my target audience as there is a lot of collaborations which are happening in the Bhangra music world, it also gives the connotation that Asian and American stars are coming together which appeals to my target audience as they will then break out and be more open towards their music as they see this.
