The document summarizes the steps taken to design the front cover of a magazine about rock music. Key elements were added using the text tool, including the masthead, positioning statement, price, issue information, coverlines about band names identified by the target audience, and sublines explaining article contents.

The girl who became three boys
This documentary analyzes the case of a girl who pretended to be three different boys online. It has a linear narrative structure that starts with the girls meeting and ends with the sentencing. The documentary uses a variety of camera shots including medium close ups, extreme close ups, long shots, and two shots in the interviews. Some of the interviews are not framed correctly. Archive material like newspaper articles and social media pages are included. Graphics provide names and images of those involved.
Codes and conventions of Music Magazine Front Covers
The magazine front covers follow codes and conventions to attract readers. The masthead is unique to the publication and recognizable to fans. The main image is usually of an artist looking directly at the reader (direct address) to create an image and attitude. Additional band images and coverlines featuring artist names aim to appeal to the widest possible audience.
Codes and Conventions of a Magazine Contents Page
The contents page of a magazine follows conventions including using one large main image with smaller additional images, prominently displaying the word "contents" along with the issue date and number in columns. Category headings divide sections like "regulars", "features", and "on the cover" and each article or item is listed with a brief heading and subtitle, while page numbers are distinguished on images to link to locations in the magazine.
Audience Research – Results & Conclusions
The respondent used an online survey tool to gather audience research on preferences for a new rock music magazine. Results showed a slightly higher number of male respondents and most readers were between ages 16-18. Red was the most popular favorite color and most readers buy magazines weekly. Kerrang! was named the most popular existing magazine. Respondents were willing to spend around £2.50-£3.00 on magazines and listed various favorite bands and words associated with rock music.

Personality was most often cited as what t-shirts say about the wearer. Blue and pop music were the most popular color and genre, though responses were varied.
