This magazine aims to represent young people positively by portraying its subject as a role model. It uses conventions from real magazines like Kerrang and Q, such as consistent colors and fonts. One challenge is placing the barcode at the top right instead of bottom right for better visibility. The intended audience is late teens to young adults. Images are used to attract readers, like a large front cover photo. Feedback was positive about the color scheme and many said they would buy it, but more contents page images were needed. The creator learned about editing photos and magazine design software to make a professional product.

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.

Bethany fox
- 1. Bethany Fox Magazine coursework Evaluation Media studies evaluation
- 3. Other conventions that I have used have come from researching the magazines of today to look at why certain magazines display in the way that they do, one of these ways is using online magazines to advertise to the younger audience because nowadays nearly every young person owns or has access to a computer therefore are more likely to read something that is easy accessible and possibly has more conventions resulting in an online magazine. Although I did not have the time or money to create one, if I was to publish my magazine and it was a success I would think about it because it extends the audience and helps advertise the product.
- 4. Another convention that I did use is a house style that made my product flow and have continuity, and although we did not create a full magazine if we did the same colours and fonts would have been used.
- 6. I have chosen a mixed genre theme to my magazine however I am going to choose a Pop genre for my main article, I think it is important to include well known celebs in my magazine because the younger generation very much rely on what they see in magazines and what celebs do to form their thoughts and feelings about life.
- 7. With so much technology about the children of this day and age take to heart everything they read, so although I do not want to give them false hopes and stories, I do need to try and advertise as best as I can to my target audience. Hopefully I will be able to attract a wide audience which means I will have to cater for all genres of music but hopefully my contents page will reflect this decision.
- 8. I have tried to incorporate young and recent bands in my contents page line up so that my audience can straight away see what they will be reading about and hopefully will see a band or artist that they will want to read about.
- 10. They are a large German publishing company and operate in 15 different countries. The worldwide circulation of Bauer Media Group's magazine title amounts to 38 million magazines a week.
- 11. I have decide to choose this institution group because I think that because they publish other well known music magazines that they would be a perfect company to take on my magazine and give it a good start in the magazine industry. Also we all know how successful and well known Kerrang magazine is, and if I was to publish my magazine I would want it to follow in the same footsteps and hopefully achieve goals like they are.
- 12. I think using this media institution would put my magazine on good form and help it make a good name before it has begun selling, overall I think magazine would benefit a major amount to this institution.
- 14. I am aiming my magazine at an age range of about 16 – 24 hopefully attracting the appropriate selection of people for the type of magazine and artists that I have covered in my magazine. I believe that not only will this age range suit the music, but also these are the generation that are most likely to buy music magazines. Also I have based my layout around previous magazines so the style and look of my magazine may be familiar to some buyers making it more natural for them to buy it.
- 16. My masthead is very bold and in your face I think this will catch the attention of the audience and draw them to my magazine. Because my front cover image is dark I have made my masthead white so that again it is eye catching, also to try and create a flow through each of my issues (if I was to have my magazine published) I would try and always use a darker image so that I could keep my masthead the same colour all of the time so that I do not confuse my audience and so that they recognise it all of the time.
- 18. We mainly used Microsoft Publisher to produce our magazines, so we used different techniques to produce our work and try and make it the best quality that we can using the resources that we have. To edit my images I used two main programmes, Fireworks and Photoscape, I have used these previously so I knew my way around them and it made it easier for me to create the look of the image that I was going for.
- 20. I think that this magazine isn’t very good but if we were to have longer on it then it could be a good magazine and the school could benefit from it.
