Evaluation
My media product uses conventions of real newspapers such as layout, content types, and news values. On the front cover, I included immediacy, familiarity, and surprise to engage audiences. Throughout my research of other newspapers, I identified common traits like prominent headlines, pictures describing articles, and continuing main stories onto second pages. I sought audience feedback to learn they prefer newspapers for local news and find my layout and color scheme effective. I used various media technologies at different stages, from online research of other papers to software for designing my newspaper, poster, and functioning website.
Compare A Local Newspaper With Its Website
The document describes the layout and design of a local newspaper called the Gazette and its website. The masthead is at the top center of the newspaper page with the location "Islington" in bold red text. The newspaper has a tabloid style layout. The website has the same tabloid style and masthead as the newspaper. It uses icons to direct readers to different sections and social media to encourage participation. Both the newspaper and website aim to attract different types of readers through a variety of stories and images while maintaining a consistent color palette.
Annotations of a Newspaper Poster
The document analyzes three newspaper posters. The first poster uses the caption "woman killed in lakes tragedy" to grab readers' attention with its negative and exciting story. The second poster features a famous icon reading the newspaper to interest viewers, with the prominent image against a black background. It also uses the word "FREE" and a reference to the World Cup to attract readers interested in football. The third poster shows an ex-England football manager reading the newspaper, implying it contains high-quality sports information.

- Immediacy refers to how recently an event occurred, with the latest stories being prioritized.

Uses and Gratifications of Newspapers
Newspapers provide education and information through current news, editorials, and features articles alongside local business advertisements. They are a source of social interaction and help readers identify with their community by relating to local stories. Additionally, newspapers entertain readers with horoscopes, crosswords, and advice columns, and allow escape from daily life by informing readers about other people and events.
Uses and Gratification
The document discusses the four main needs that audiences seek to fulfill through media consumption: diversion from everyday life through escapism, satisfying needs for companionship and relationships through media, exploring personal identity, and gaining information about surrounding events. Magazines like Q fulfill these needs by providing entertaining celebrity stories and new music for diversion, coverage of celebrity relationships for personal relationships, quizzes and games for personal identity exploration, and information on upcoming concerts and events for surveillance of one's environment.
Evaluation Module one
My media product uses and develops forms and conventions of real rock music magazines in several ways:
1) The layout, with bold titles, frequent images, and consistent colors, resembles magazines like Kerrang.
2) Elements like guitars, skateboards, and black clothing on the cover visually represent rock music culture.
3) Written content about bands and concerts would interest the target audience of teenagers and rock fans.
4) The magazine aims to be inclusive of all gender and age groups, challenging the convention of primarily male readerships in similar magazines.
Proposal for my music magazine
The magazine will be called "Mosher" and will focus on rock music culture. It will use a mix of black, white, and red colors with vibrant imagery on the cover to appeal to both male and female readers. The layout will be neat and original with the fonts "dark half btn" for the body and "youngsook" for the masthead. The logo will link to the masthead saying "Mosh it loud". The magazine will include interviews, reviews, and concert news along with tips on moshing safely. It will be distributed through newsstands and have an introductory free subscription period before a £2.20 cover price.
My style sheet
The document promotes moshing loudly at a concert or event through a stylized font and slogan. It encourages self-expression and enthusiasm through moshing to loud music in a colorful, energetic way. The main text will use the stylized font shown to continue sharing about moshing.
Kerrang style sheet
This document explores potential fonts for a magazine article heading and text. It shows "KERRANG!" in all caps as a candidate heading font and "Kerrang!" in a script font as another option. The main text font shown is a serif font intended to be easy to read for the article body.
Analyse some student magazines
This document summarizes two contents pages from the university magazine "Brunel Link". The first page features an image of the Alumni office and lists upcoming news, notices, a message from the vice chancellor, and congratulations. The layout is neat with balanced colors and all information at the bottom. The second page has a two-page spread with the main image on the left and a detailed contents listing on the right, achieving the goal of providing useful information to readers.
