The document discusses the codes and conventions that the author followed when designing a music magazine. It analyzes the front cover, contents page, and double-paged article spread in terms of layout, images, fonts, colors, and writing style compared to existing magazines like NME, Q, and Mojo. While following many conventions, the author also experimented with some unconventional design elements like the color scheme and image placement. The goal was to create a magazine that fit expected conventions but also had its own unique style and identity.
Project Conversation Marketing (De Lijn)Lien Berden
Deze presentatie werkt gemaakt voor de opleiding 'Digitale Marketing & Communicatie', in samenwerking met Audrey Gits, Jordi Willekens, Stéphanie Buysschaert en Thomas De Kimpe.
In opdracht van Talking Heads moesten we de 4 stappen van conversation marketing (detecteer, evalueer, reageer en suggereer) toepassen op een bedrijf naar keuze. We hebben toen gekozen voor de overheidsinstelling De Lijn omdat ze toen zo goed als niet converseerden via social media. We mochten onze presentatie ook effectief gaan voorstellen aan De Lijn en zo te zien hebben ze er toch iets van opgepikt.

To make your job easier and help you create better designs, we have put together a list of common graphic design mistakes that you need to avoid.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.
Transforming Brand Perception and Boosting Profitabilityaaryangarg12
In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Real-world case studies illustrate the impact of branding, social media campaigns, and website redesigns on consumer perception, sales figures, and profitability. We assess the various metrics, including brand awareness, customer engagement, conversion rates, and revenue growth, to measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
The results underscore the pivotal role of cohesive branding, social media influence, and website usability in shaping positive brand perceptions, influencing consumer decisions, and ultimately bolstering sales and profitability.

3. Front Cover The photograph I have used is a mid shot like the one used for NME. My model is looking straight at the camera as are all of the models in the magazines I researched and it has a bright tone like NME. My image is placed in the centre of the page with the logo placed in the top left. Her name is placed over the photo similar to “Oasis” on the cover of NME. The band names and features I placed around the image in order to not take any attention away. The barcode is situated in the same place as the magazines I researched but at a different angle to cover up an unattractive area of the photo.
4. My colour scheme is yellow and black, going against music magazine conventions as they are stereotypically known to use red, black, white and blue. Price is different for every magazine and mine was cheaper than both Q and Mojo but more expensive than NME. This was because my content was similar to NME however it was more up market and aimed at a slightly older audience who have more disposable income. I placed the date and issue number together under the name of the magazine so that it could be identified straight away. The date was placed on the barcode of each of the magazines I researched but the issue number wasn’t revealed at all. Similar fonts have been used on each magazine I researched, which were bold and all capital letters. I kept the capital letters but I felt when the text was bold it stood out too much, taking focus from the image. The text “Chloe Shepherd as innocent as she seems?” used on my cover was based on Q magazine’s “Is Johnny Borrell finally as good as he says?” tagline. The text I have included is about the Brit Awards and other bands included inside the magazine. This is very similar to NME and Q.
5. Contents Page I have used several photographs on this page as have NME and Q. They are a mixture of black and white, live and studio as requested by my target audience and this is used in Q. I have used a simple layout much like Q but the text and images are on opposite sides of the page. All of the magazines have their images and text in a straight line so I have gone against convention in placing a cut out image where the text would usually go. This was based upon the image of Chris Martin from the Q contents overlapping the other images.
6. The headings are based on NME’s contents. “News”, “Reviews”, “Live” were the ones I developed into my own contents. The colour scheme of this page is red, black and white. This is the same as Mojo and similar to Q. I have placed page numbers at the bottom right which is a major convention of all magazines. Titles are all in bold and large with text underneath regular. Simple and easy to read. Features is in red to distinguish it from the other text The text underneath each act gives a small explanation of what they feature as is done in both Q and Mojo. The masthead is placed at the top of the page as usual and I have included the date, issue number and logo here as well like Mojo. Website placed at the bottom of the page like Q
7. Double Paged Spread Photographs are arranged in polaroid photos like in Mojo and NME contents page. Mixture of black and white but all live photos like NME. My article is quite long, taking up the majority of the page. This is different to the other magazines as although they have a lot of text it is made up of more than one article.
8. The layout of each magazine I researched was different leading me to believe that there are not as many conventions for these pages as the contents and front cover. I put the title at the top of the page. One side was focused on images and the other on text like Q. The page numbers are still in the same place so the reader always knows where to look. Writing Style of the article is not too formal but is informative about where the bands are from and what type of music they play Starts with a large letter as does every article in NME. The black lines down the side of the page were a continuation of the contents design to make sure they looked like they were from the same magazine. The colour scheme is black, white and red to match the contents. The title is done in a simple font with capital letters like the NME page
