Newspaper billboards analysis
This billboard advertisement targets a younger audience through its modern design. Images of a newspaper, laptop, tablet and phone displaying the newspaper's website and app demonstrate how readers can access news through different technologies. A bright yellow color scheme and unconventional turquoise masthead logo create a youthful, eye-catching appearance. While still using some traditional newspaper fonts, the bold yellow text and witty slogan resemble modern headlines to appeal to younger people.

The codes and conventions of a contents page
The document discusses the codes and conventions used in magazine contents pages. It explains that the word "contents" follows the magazine's color scheme and the largest image is usually related to the cover story. Contents pages also use the magazine's color scheme for the text and images. The structure is generally three columns with page numbers aligned. Features are specific to each issue while regulars, like reviews, appear in every issue. Contents pages also promote subscriptions and include mini magazine covers and the editor's letter.
Magazine Prices
This document analyzes the prices of three types of magazines - cheap (free to 99p), medium (£1-£3), and expensive (£3.01+). Cheap magazines have busy, crowded layouts with many colors and images to provide a lot of content at a low price targeting social grades D/E. Medium magazines have less busy layouts with 3-4 colors and a more formal feel targeting grades B/C1/C2. Expensive magazines use few conventions for a simple, formal look with high quality images targeting grade A/B readers. The layouts and paper quality reflect the magazine prices and intended audiences.
Pitch
This pitch is for funding to launch a new regional newspaper. The author has already conducted research into current newspaper products, design conventions, and content. Market research was also done to determine the scope and target audience for the new paper. It will cover all of Shropshire excluding two areas, as research shows papers with this coverage have better circulation. The intended audience is traditional newspaper readers, often middle-aged to older people. The paper will provide a balance of regional and national news, as these demographics prefer both. A mood board of preferred newspaper styles was analyzed to inspire the designs.
LO2
The document outlines the production process for a music magazine, including planning target audiences, branding, design elements like fonts and colors, generating content, editing, layout, printing, distribution, and costs associated with staff, equipment, printing, and marketing.

Newspaper case studies
I have done research regarding the strategy in terms of design and other tactics adopted by newspapers around the world
Media Local Newspaper Analysis
Most newspapers follow conventional layout techniques, with the masthead, date, and price listed prominently on the front page. The main article is usually centered on the front page and includes a headline, image, and brief introduction to draw readers in. Additional article titles are also typically included. Newspapers rely heavily on advertisement sales for revenue.
The inside front cover usually continues the main article and includes additional sub-articles on the sides. Like the front, the bottom portion is often used for more advertisements. If an article spans multiple pages, subsequent pages will place it off to the side rather than in the center again. Local newspapers analyzed follow standard conventions but employ different stylistic techniques like limited colors or font sizes.
Magazine price comparison
The document compares low, mid, and high priced magazines. Low priced magazines under £1 have crowded, busy covers intended to imply value but have cheap paper quality. Mid priced magazines between £1-£3 have less cluttered layouts to appeal to more sophisticated readers and some offer digital versions. High priced magazines over £3 have minimalist covers with large images to draw consumers in and target older, wealthier audiences. They are distributed widely both physically and digitally, and some offer subscriptions.
Analysis of Nme
The document provides details about the layout and design elements of the NME (New Musical Express) magazine. It analyzes the masthead, cover, contents page, and a double page article spread. Key connections between the sections include consistent use of color (red, black, white), large bold titles, and an edgy layout with columns rather than straight text alignment. The target audience is identified as trendy, educated music fans aged 17-30. Elements like celebrity images and event listings are used to attract this demographic.

The document discusses the conventions of different types of media like broadsheet newspapers, tabloid newspapers, and local newspapers. It examines differences in language, layout, target audiences, and content. It then details how the student's local newspaper product challenges some conventions by including more images and color than a typical local paper to appeal to younger readers, and develops conventions by adding a Twitter account and app to be more engaging. Research was conducted on conventions to appropriately structure a radio advertisement script and billboard poster design for the local newspaper.
Understanding newspaper audiences
This document discusses understanding newspaper audiences and measuring newspaper readership in the digital age. It notes that newspaper readership is declining as more people access news digitally. Current readership measurement focuses on print but needs to capture all platforms to reflect changing behaviors. Improvements include measuring total brand reach across devices, integrating survey and online panel data, and reporting metrics like daily readership. The ideal would provide comprehensive and frequent readership metrics for advertisers in a changing media landscape.

The document discusses the conventions of different types of media products that were researched, including broadsheet newspapers, tabloid newspapers, local newspapers, radio advertisements, and billboard posters. For the local newspaper created, conventions from both tabloid and broadsheet newspapers were used, such as including multiple images, advertisements, and celebrity coverage like tabloid papers, while also using more text than typical for tabloids. Some conventions were challenged, like targeting a younger audience rather than the usual older local paper readership, and including modern elements like a Twitter address. Overall, the document examines how the created media products both conformed to and developed conventions of real equivalents.

The document discusses how the author's local newspaper product develops and challenges conventions of existing newspaper forms. Through research on broadsheet, tabloid, and local newspapers, the author aimed to create a newspaper that would appeal to younger audiences. The product uses conventions from both tabloid (e.g. colorful images) and broadsheet newspapers (e.g. more text than tabloids). It challenges conventions by targeting younger people rather than typical local paper audiences, and includes modern features like a Twitter address and app. The author developed conventions by combining elements from different paper types to create a unique hybrid format newspaper.

Magazine Research
The document provides information on the target audience and conventions used in The Economist magazine. The target audience is male, white, and ages range from young adults to adults. The audience is global and socioeconomically classified as groups A and B. Psychographically, the target is reformers who support ideas based on merits rather than supporters. Conventionally, the masthead is in serif font on the left and additional lines are in sans serif on the right. Imagery relates to themes like government control during COVID and first aid to represent fighting the virus. Colors also reference first aid signs.
Newspaper Layout and Parts
This document summarizes the key parts and layout of newspapers. It begins by introducing newspapers as a daily or weekly publication that provides news, advertisements, announcements and more to inform the public. It then describes the front page as containing the most important stories of the day. The document goes on to define and provide samples of the two main newspaper formats: broadsheets and tabloids. Broadsheets are larger newspapers that are folded lengthwise, while tabloids are smaller and may emphasize sensational stories. Finally, it notes that newspaper pages use a grid layout with columns and margins to organize content.
Main Task - Magazine Analysis
The document summarizes conventions for magazine design based on research. Key conventions include: using prominent images on the cover to attract readers; consistent color schemes across elements; prominent mastheads and sell lines; barcodes located unobtrusively; advertisements near the front with large images and short text; contents pages with bolded headings and brief descriptions to aid navigation. Variations exist but magazines generally aim to guide the eye, convey key information quickly, and establish a professional, cohesive brand identity.

Canterbury Times Analysis
- 2. Two newspaper pages from The Canterbury Times
- 3. • The header at the top of the main article is used as a advertising agent, it illustrates that the newspaper advertises news online and through a website. It is written in capital letters to display the importance of the news. It stretches to about 2/3 of the A4 page, above the main article. • The title of the article is short and punchy, it’s a large text in bold, it is a typical and straight forward font which is illustrated on many newspapers such as The Daily Mail, the image below illustrates how the similarities of the news paper title fonts compared to the title above. Title and Heading break down
- 4. Shapes and article analysis
- 5. In total there is 6 advertisements, they take up the entire side of A4 page, this is vastly different compared to the analysis I completed upon The Thanet Gazette, this indicated that the Canterbury Times is dependent upon revenue from the people using the newspaper to promote their business. Advertisements analysis There is a wide range of colours shown on the adverts, there is a vast amount of green, the colours used are neutral rather than completely pink for a female based audience, nor completely blue for a male target audience. This makes the newspaper comply with its target audience as it accommodates for both men and women readers.
