Evaluation Q1
1. The document discusses conventions used in magazine covers and how the student's media product follows or develops these conventions. Key conventions included are mastheads, barcodes, prices, cover lines, main images, and skylines.
2. The student's magazine cover follows conventions such as placing the masthead, barcode, cover lines, and main image but develops conventions through choices like a bolder price placement and using a rectangular strip for the skyline text.
3. When discussing the film poster, conventions of title placement and main images are followed but the title placement is developed by being higher on the page rather than at the bottom like most posters.
Codes and conventions
The document discusses the codes and conventions used on film magazine covers. Magazine covers typically feature powerful images, bold colors, and text to attract readers' attention. Specifically, the masthead displays the magazine's name prominently. The main image usually portrays the film's main character. Most importantly, the large main cover line helps sell the magazine by promoting its content or offering incentives like competitions. Smaller taglines may also be altered to directly reference the featured film.
Powerpont for film cover
The document analyzes the cover designs of three film magazines: Empire, Total Film, and Premiere. Key aspects discussed include the use of large central images, bold titles, continuous color schemes, and text wrapping around or overlapping the main photo. Font size and positioning is also examined to emphasize important information without interrupting the main visual element.
Contents Page Analysis
The contents page of the MixMag magazine uses informal text and font styles like bold and italics to match its target audience aged 16-25. It only features one large image with the page number to avoid overcrowding. Both the MixMag and NME magazines follow a consistent house style by using the same fonts from the cover page. The promotion on the NME page blends in more while the MixMag promotion stands out with a bright red box, influencing how promotions could be designed.

Magazine format word
The document discusses magazine layout conventions. It notes that for most magazines, the featured character is placed in front of the magazine title to indicate the main focus. The character is centered and takes up most of the cover. The film title is in a slightly smaller font than the magazine title. Company logos of contributors are also featured on the cover. Other magazine content not relevant to the film is displayed to the side in a different color.
Question 1 (magazine cover)
The document discusses the conventions of magazine covers and how the author's mock magazine cover both uses and challenges conventions. It summarizes that the author's cover uses conventions like including a masthead and dateline but challenges conventions by having a main image of a model looking vulnerable rather than with a powerful stare, to attract the intended audience. The author also developed conventions by making the film title larger than the "film preview text" to make the title more prominent.
Front cover
The magazine front cover conventions include positioning the title in the top left corner in a large, bold font. A main image dominates the cover and looks directly at the audience. Smaller supporting images and cover lines frame the main image and tease stories inside. Cover lines are short, ambiguous, and in all capital letters to draw readers in. Color schemes use a maximum of 3-4 primary colors against a plain background color for the images to stand out.

Succession “Losers”: What Happens to Executives Passed Over for the CEO Job?
Succession “Losers”: What Happens to Executives Passed Over for the CEO Job? Stanford GSB Corporate Governance Research Initiative
This document summarizes a study of CEO succession events among the largest 100 U.S. corporations between 2005-2015. The study analyzed executives who were passed over for the CEO role ("succession losers") and their subsequent careers. It found that 74% of passed over executives left their companies, with 30% eventually becoming CEOs elsewhere. However, companies led by succession losers saw average stock price declines of 13% over 3 years, compared to gains for companies whose CEO selections remained unchanged. The findings suggest that boards generally identify the most qualified CEO candidates, though differences between internal and external hires complicate comparisons.Question 2 evaluation
The document provides an evaluation of the house style, images, typography, and messages conveyed across a trailer, magazine, and poster for a film. The trailer, magazine, and poster all utilize the Falcon font for titles and feature images of the main character engaging in action and displaying sophistication through costume. Bold fonts are used for key text to make it easy to read. Common elements like release dates and credit blocks on the poster additionally link the marketing materials together while portraying messages of action, danger, and the main character's skills through props like a gun and strategic placement against urban backdrops.

Codes and Conventions of Film Magazine Covers.pptx
The document discusses codes and conventions used in film magazine covers and contents pages. Magazine covers typically feature a masthead at the top center in bold colors and large font. The main image aims to grab attention and sell the magazine. Sell lines frame the main image and inform readers of the magazine's contents. Anchorage text stands out and links to the cover story. A skyline along the top can promote films or interviews. Contents pages use bright, contrasting colors and fonts to stand out from the background. The background of one example is a film still to convey the magazine's focus on cinema.
codes and conventions
The document discusses the codes and conventions used on the covers of film magazines. It describes several key elements that appear consistently on covers, including the masthead at the top that displays the magazine title. The main image, typically featuring the lead actor being promoted, is meant to attract readers. Additional small images may also promote other films. Headlines, subtitles, and tags are used in bold fonts to highlight articles and intrigue readers into purchasing the issue. Consistent use of style elements like colors, fonts, and layout contribute to each magazine's distinctive house style.
Question one
This media product uses conventions of real magazines in several ways:
1. The front cover uses a limited color palette, masthead, coverlines, barcode, and pricing/issue date like real magazines. Images take up most space to attract readers.
2. The contents page lists top songs, includes pull quotes and images with page numbers to entice readers. It uses a three-column layout and consistent house style.
3. The interview spread features a full-page image, drop cap, rule of thirds layout, bold question text, and credits photographs and words to mimic real magazine conventions.
Evaluation Q1
My media product uses some conventions of real magazines but also challenges and develops some conventions. It follows conventions like using simple fonts, putting the magazine title and date/price in typical locations, including cover lines and using columns on the contents page. However, it also develops conventions by adding a colored bar behind the masthead and putting the barcode and cover lines in atypical locations. The layout challenges conventions by listing articles on the contents page without categories. Overall, it draws from real magazine conventions but also puts its own spin on some aspects of design and layout.
