CCN Magazine Self Evaluation
The document is a self-evaluation by Jack Huntridge Dixon of a student magazine he created. He is pleased with the general aesthetic of the front cover and formatting of text. He also positively represented the target audience of 16-18 year old students as hardworking and enthusiastic about their studies, challenging stereotypes. However, he feels the main coverline could have looked better with different colors and that the contents page is rough, as he ran out of time to make Photoshop edits. He also received some criticism for including a cover image on the contents page.
Final
The document describes a magazine cover that the author created for their school. It follows some conventions of real magazines but also challenges conventions by having a minimal, stylized design. The target audience is sixth form and college students interested in fashion, music and current affairs. Key elements include a black and white color scheme with red cover lines to attract readers and stand out from typical school magazines. Through the process, the author learned new editing and layout techniques in Photoshop and how to publish documents online.
Evaluation
The student magazine uses conventions like a large masthead, coverlines, graphics and professional layout on the cover and contents page to attract readers. To make the magazine stand out, the student went for a modern, sleek look compared to other magazines. The magazine represents 16-18 year old students by featuring a photo of a male student in a suit on the cover and contents page. To attract this target audience, headlines and a professional design are used along with photos and fonts that appeal to older readers. Creating the magazine taught the student how to use Photoshop and Blogger, and the value of clear photos for the content.
Proposal
The document proposes a sports magazine project aimed at adults ages 25-44. As the intended audience is middle-aged, the magazine would focus on recent sports news and events. Both genders would be targeted, with a possible emphasis on appealing to males due to the sports focus. Research would include learning Photoshop skills to design the magazine, studying existing sports magazines for inspiration, and finding current sports stories and information to include. The concept is to create an easy to navigate magazine with clear article descriptions and detailed sections, using minimalist front cover design featuring a basketball or football player to represent the sports content inside. Daily self-evaluations would help improve the work and identify strengths and weaknesses compared to other magazines.

This document summarizes the ways in which a media product uses, develops, and challenges conventions of form. It discusses using three columns on a double page spread, a features column on the contents page, and sticking to a basic color scheme of red, black, and white. It developed the double page spread image into a long shot rather than a mid shot and used the title as a huge drop capital. It did not intentionally challenge conventions to keep the magazine authentic to its style model and neutral for any music genre.

7. evaluation
The document provides an evaluation of a personal project to create a fashion magazine. It summarizes the strengths and weaknesses of the different stages of research, planning, and production. For research, surveys and initial planning slides were strengths, while only interviewing two people of the same gender was a weakness.

The magazine was inspired by Vogue and appeals to its target audience of teenagers and students interested in fashion. Peer feedback suggested adding more affordable items and including male models to appeal to both genders.

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.

My evaluation
My student magazine cover borrows several conventions from Men's Health magazine, including a medium close-up main image and masthead placement. I chose a consistent blue and black color scheme to look professional. My contents page also uses a three-column grid and colors similar to my cover for consistency. I included social media links and a website to encourage online engagement with readers. Through this project, I learned how to use new technologies like Adobe Photoshop, Blogger, and uploading photos and audio files for my reflections.
My evaluation
My student magazine cover uses some of the same conventions as Men's Health magazine, such as a medium close-up focal image and masthead placement. However, it also develops some conventions with its consistent blue/black color scheme to appear professional and appeal to both genders. It challenges conventions by having fewer cover lines to intrigue readers without overwhelming them, as the target audience is students who prefer visuals over text.
The contents page also uses color scheme conventions but develops them further with bold black background and added white. It challenges conventions by including social media icons and a website for more interaction beyond the magazine. Overall the process taught valuable skills in using technologies like Photoshop, blogging, emailing photos, and

Siena designed a college magazine with a simple yet professional style. The front cover features the college logo, masthead, and cover lines organized around an image of a smiling student on campus. The contents page lists sections and page numbers but could be improved with a more attractive design. While happy with the front cover, Siena feels the contents page looks too basic and could benefit from more advanced Photoshop skills.

My evaluation
The document discusses the student's evaluation of their school magazine media product. They followed several magazine conventions for the front cover, including adding a date, masthead, cover lines, and barcode. However, they also challenged some conventions by using full body pictures for the models instead of waist-up shots and making the barcode too large. The contents page included both text and images as is typical, but they should have included more pages overall. The magazine aimed to appeal to both students and parents by including articles, quizzes, and information about school events and deadlines. The process taught the student new skills in using Photoshop to design the cover professionally.

My magazine represents college students through images on the cover and contents that students can relate to. The sans serif font makes the magazine seem modern and appeal to younger readers. While the contents provide useful information for students, they only represent stereotypical students rather than exploring a diversity of experiences. Images and articles in the contents aim to show different social groups on campus through pictures of students, transportation, and campus activities.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

College Magazine - What Have You Learned?
- 1. What have you learned from creating your college magazine?
- 2. Explain the thoughts behind the design for your college magazine? • The design behind my college magazine changed from the previous flat plan that I have created. This is because my flat pan was slightly unrealistic in having the mast head at the bottom of the page. I made the decision to rearrange the masthead to the top in it’s more recognisable position. I chose to focus the main image in centre and the text around it as this would follow the rule of thirds which would be familiar to people who purchase magazines. I have incorporated the Sunderland College logo on my magazine in the top left hand corner. This is due to the fact as soon as a customer see’s this magazine, they will instantly know who has produced it and what the content featured will be related to.
- 3. Who is your audience by age, gender and audience code? How does your magazine link to that? • The primary audience for my college magazine would be College students ranging for 16-19. They would be interested in this magazine as they might want to see what upcoming events and trips will be happening through the college. • The secondary audience for my college magazine would school students or school leavers who age around 15-16. They would be interested in this magazine because they might be considering in attending this college and would want an insight of what this college is about. • This magazine would be genderless as it would be primarily informing you of all the information that is currently happening in college. However, occasionally the articles may target one sex more than the other such as the HELP section as they try to target particular issues with school which may only effect a certain group.
- 4. What have you learnt about using blog doing this task? • I have learned a various amount of things from creating my blog at the beginning of September. Having no prior experience to a blog of any kind I have learned how to correctly construct and produce a blog which appears in an informal and readable way. I have learned how to successfully attach images, videos and text. In addition to third party websites such as slide share and animoto.
- 5. How did you edit your images? What skills have you picked up by doing this? • I edited my images on a software called Photoshop. Similarly to my blog, I have had no experience previously with Photoshop so creating my college magazine was a very new experience. I edited my front cover by changing the contrast and the brightness so that my image became more aesthetically pleasing. I believe I have became more IT literate as I developed all these skills that will benefit my course.
- 6. How will you use these skills in creating your music magazine? • I will transfer the skills I have learned from producing my college magazine over to my music magazine. My new understanding of how to edit a photo using Photoshop should allow me to create a better quality magazine that I originally would have done without these skills. I can now successfully apply colour filters and contrast effects to give my image a better look.
- 7. Are you happy with your College magazine? Give an honest appraisal of it • I am happy with how my college magazine turned out. I believe I chose an appropriate main image to represent my magazine as the student featured is one who attends this college. The colours I have used at the bottom of the page contrast well with each other as the black writing stands out with yellow banner behind it. However, If I could change the colour of the other text, I would change it to a colour that is more easy to read because the black text in some regions fades into the background slightly.
