This document compares sections of a final contents page layout to an initial flat plan layout. It shows that one area was kept mostly the same, while other images at the top of the page were changed to have a single image in the corner that relates better to the surrounding text. Instead of labeling one section "this week," it was changed to "features" for accuracy and as a convention seen more in music magazines.

The document discusses editing a photo in Photoshop. The photo was transformed to fit the page and the healing brush was used to clear the artist's complexion. Based on feedback, the photo was later cropped to show less clothing as it did not fit the magazine theme. No other edits were made to the cropped photo in Photoshop.
Front Page Creation
The document summarizes the steps taken to design a magazine cover in Photoshop. The designer imported an image, enlarged it to fit the page, and created a red embossed title to stand out. They then added the main cover line in red to match the title. Additional cover lines were placed around the image to frame it, with one line using a larger font that partially covered the image but not the face. All cover lines were made white to stand out against the brick wall background.

Magazine design evaluation
James Fox conducted research on magazine layout and house style by distributing questionnaires and researching magazine designs. He analyzed various magazine cover and content page designs to understand differences and how to design his own magazine. The house style he chose was Kozuka Mincho, which he felt had a catchy ring to it and worked well with the "Sharpy but Smarty" layout of his magazine. He created basic and more advanced designs for the cover, contents page, and double page spread to enhance the house style and add more design elements. To obtain feedback, he created a questionnaire and calculated the results.
Reflection
Olivia created fonts and color schemes for her production project over several weeks. In week 1, she researched fonts on DaFont and selected "Big Noodle Titling" and "Loves" for titles and descriptions. In week 2, she chose a bright color scheme to match her fine art theme and created a style sheet with inspiration. Creating fonts and colors in advance helped plan her production. Over weeks 3-7, Olivia continued working on her project, making improvements and finalizing her products in week 7.

The same artist and article titles featured on the cover also appear on the contents page and a double page spread within the magazine to tie the content together.
Contents page image choices
The document discusses image choices for a death metal magazine contents page. It describes three images chosen: 1) A main image representing death metal with a hat-wearing artist holding a knife, indicating violence and anger themes in death metal. 2) An image of the editor to look natural and appropriate, unlike editors in other magazines who didn't represent the genre's style. 3) A bottom graveyard image advertising a death metal band called 'Grave,' with gothic headstones and church windows reflecting death metal themes of death and the afterlife.
Album cover
I spent the last few weeks designing the album cover for my first EP. I wanted the artwork to represent the themes in my music like love, heartbreak, and self-reflection. After many revisions incorporating feedback from friends, I finalized a simple design using a heart outline, colored pencil sketches, and my album title in a handwritten font that captures the raw emotions in my songs.

The features were rearranged and separated with lines to look less cluttered. Alignment was added to the final cover using gridlines to make it look neater and more professional.
Target audience feedback
Three people provided feedback on a magazine cover design. Sradha liked the engaging main image, simple color scheme, and large artist name.

- Feedback from others was solicited to help refine the designs until an easy-to-follow layout was achieved that maintained the overall magazine's visual identity.
Task 9
The document outlines the process of creating two layouts for a fanzine article. For the first layout, the creator used earthy tones and offset/angled images and text to achieve a scrapbook feel appealing to older hippies. Handwritten fonts made the copy seem casual. The second layout targeted younger hippies with brighter colors, stylish images, and a bold title font coordinating with the psychedelic background. Both layouts broke conventions to achieve a rebellious fanzine style fitting the counterculture theme.
Making of the double page spread
This document summarizes the process of creating a double page spread for a magazine in Photoshop. Key steps included: 1) Hand drawing a plan showing photo and text placements; 2) Editing photos by adjusting levels/curves and cutting out backgrounds; 3) Creating a canvas twice as wide as other pages; 4) Adding a background gradient and photo, then cropping and softening edges; 5) Making text boxes in desired areas and experimenting with styles/colors; 6) Adding a secondary article and photos; 7) Adding a banner at the bottom for advertising. The final spread followed the color scheme, made text easily readable, and flowed well for readers.

Screen caps for dps
The document describes the process for creating a double page magazine spread. Key steps included:
1) Placing a photo shoot image across both pages by filling the empty space with the background color.
2) Adding a title, page numbers, and other elements using consistent fonts and colors to match the magazine's house style.
3) Writing the article text and copying it into text boxes on the page, then arranging the layout until satisfied.
4) Adding design elements like drop caps, pull quotes, and logos to make the spread look polished and professional.
Screen caps for dps
The document describes the process for creating a double page magazine spread. The writer places an image across both pages and fills the empty space with color to match the background. Grid lines are turned on for layout and text placement. The article topic is added in the top right corner. The celebrity's name is used as the title in the same font as the magazine masthead. Page numbers and other stylistic elements are added to be consistent with the rest of the magazine. Text boxes are used and rearranged until the layout looks polished. Additional elements like drop caps and pull quotes are inserted to attract readers. The final product looks professional and neat with a balanced layout across both pages.
Contents page
The document discusses the layout and design of a magazine contents page. It will include the issue number, date, a list of features with headings and descriptions, and a main image. The creator plans to use Adobe Photoshop to edit images and InDesign to layout the magazine. A black background is chosen to make the typography stand out. Fonts, colors, and design elements are selected to maintain a consistent style and attract readers. The main image is edited in Photoshop by removing the background and feathering the edges before placing it in InDesign.
Double page spread improvements
The document summarizes the process of redesigning a double page magazine spread based on feedback. The main changes included replacing the original small central image with a larger one that spans both pages. The text was split into columns and additional family photos were added around the pages. Some minor edits were also made, such as using photo editing tools to fix an unbuttoned trouser fly and adding frames and sellotape effects to images. The final layout follows a conventional 'C-shape' design with text flowing around the central two-page image.

Poster shots taken/ mise-en-scene
The document discusses several poster shot photos that a group decided not to use for their movie poster. They found issues with the centering of the models, the facial expressions not looking scary enough, backgrounds not being dark enough, shadows making images hard to edit, angles making the villain look too innocent, and eye positioning looking comical rather than scary. The group wanted a shot with straight gaze and a mid-shot that avoided these issues.
The journey of ‘akumu san’
The document summarizes a student film project called "The Journey of 'Akumu San'." It describes the narrative of friends summoning a demon they can't get rid of, leading to death and destruction. It outlines creative decisions like linking the story to online moral panics and following theories about monstrous feminine villains and final girls. It also discusses the magazine cover, film poster, and trailer created for the project and how they reference horror conventions and films like "Psycho" for inspiration.
Horror film trailer conventions
This document summarizes key elements and techniques used in the trailers for four horror films: The Forest, Carrie, Blair Witch, and Ouija. For The Forest, sound and music are used to create atmosphere and tension. Carrie shows the protagonist gaining power through Todorov's equilibrium theory and other concepts. Blair Witch uses frequent shot changes and blackouts to cause adrenaline and confusion in viewers. Ouija follows traditional trailer conventions by highlighting memorable parts out of order and building to a climax.
Shot and call list
The document provides a cast list and character descriptions for a student film, including the characters Blake, Lilith, Gracelynn, Kieron, Akumu-san, and the Teacher. It also lists the props, locations, and camera equipment needed, including using a house for bathroom and bedroom scenes, an alleyway for a trailer scene, a basement for another scene, and cameras, iPhones, and a tripod.
The evolution of vampires
Vampires originated in European folklore as undead beings that feed on the blood of the living and visit their former homes. The 1922 film Nosferatu portrayed vampires as revolting monsters from Transylvania, with frightening physical features. Later films in the 1990s began showing vampires as mysterious and sexy beings that seduced women. By the 21st century, vampires like those in Twilight were depicted as almost entirely human and capable of gentle romance, feeding on animals rather than humans and sparkling in sunlight instead of burning.

Dying fetus
Dying Fetus is an American death metal band formed in 1991 in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. They are known for their blast beats, complex riffing, and slam riffs. Their lyrics often deal with political and modern themes. The band has undergone numerous lineup changes over the years, with guitarist and vocalist John Gallagher remaining as the only original member. They have released several albums through labels like Relapse Records and are considered influential in the deathcore genre.
Death metal introduction
Death metal emerged in the 1980s from thrash metal bands like Slayer and Venom, taking the speed of thrash to greater extremes with heavier guitar distortion, blast beats, and deep vocals. It focused lyrically on hyper-violence, horror, Satanism, and anti-religion. By the early 1990s, death metal had grown a cult following and many bands were signed to labels, though it generally failed to achieve mainstream success, which appeals to true metal fans.

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.
How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

- 2. Here is a section of my final contents page compared to my flat plan. As you can see I have kept this area pretty much the same. I decided to add a photo at the bottom of the ‘charts’ area advertising a free poster because I wanted to add a Varity of images onto the page and I thought that it related to one of the articles.
- 3. This is a comparison of a section of my final contents page and my flat plan, I completely changed the images at the top of the page as I thought it was more effective to have the one in the corner, it also goes well with the ‘Beelzebub contents’ around it. Instead of ‘this week’ I thought that it would be more appropriate to have ‘features’ as I saw this in music magazines more often, I also believe that it would be more accurate as the features wouldn't always be from the current week.
- 4. I attempted to replicate my flat plan as shown above, but I found that it looked unprofessional and I was reusing images of my artist, therefore not showing a Varity of images.
