Cambs times inside page analysis
The document analyzes the font style, images, color, and layout used on the inside pages of the Cambs Times local newspaper. It notes that font size varies with headlines and subheadings in larger text to stand out. Images are used more frequently but smaller than the front page to relate to stories. Color is minimal but adds vibrancy when used for ads and images. The layout uses columns and spreads out images and places ads effectively to entice readers without overwhelming other content.
Article research
This double page spread from Country Line magazine has a simple and formal layout, with the content of the article taking priority over the design. The single page article has a very clear and spread out layout, using a lot of white space but appearing effective as less can sometimes be more.
Deconstruction of a contents page
This contents page uses a colour scheme of white, grey, black and orange. Key elements include the "Contents" heading in grey font at the top to capture attention, categories of features separated into columns with page numbers for easy navigation, and a collection of professional images linked to articles. Only essential information on this page is the issue date to identify if the magazine is still current. The well-structured layout makes information easy for the audience to find.
Rough cut comparison
This document compares a rough draft magazine cover and contents pages to a professional NME magazine, noting similarities in text ratio, sell line content, color use, photo composition, and layout across multiple pages, but also differences such as font choice, amount of dead space, quality of graphic design, specific photo details, and amount of content. Overall, the document evaluates how the rough draft was inspired by but still differs from the professional magazine.
Changes made from mock up to final
The document describes changes made from a mock-up magazine cover to the final version. Key changes include removing orange from the color scheme and replacing it with purples and blues to make the yellow masthead stand out more. The amount of cover lines was reduced and the words "Special edition" removed. The black bars under the masthead were darkened and the logo was changed to fit the grunge style. Band names were added at the top and a barcode and price sticker were included to allow purchasing. A full body photo replaced headshots on the cover to add visual interest.
Codes and conventions of a double page Spread
A double page spread in a magazine or newspaper typically has a full page picture on one side and text on the other side summarizing an article. The text uses larger quotes and drop capitals for emphasis and readability against a plain background with limited fonts and banners. Additional details about the article and author are included at the top.
idea

Preliminary task evaluation
This document provides a preliminary evaluation of a magazine design. The front page strengths include bold fonts, a prominent main title, coverlines that fit around the image, and a consistent color theme. However, the evaluator notes the white is hard to read, clashes with the model's shirt, and lacks a positioning statement. Additionally, the front page could be more filled out. For the contents page, the consistent color scheme and numbered pages/images are strengths, but it is not well aligned, the images have little relevance, and the fonts need to be bolder and easier to read.
Improvements to my magazine
The document describes improvements made to the layout of a magazine, including the front page, contents page, and a double-page spread. The front page now has more text and cover lines, removes unnecessary elements, and better positions the image, barcode, and cover lines.

The double-page spread adds feature boxes, alters spacing and positioning of elements, and moves the pull quote. Overall, the adaptations improve readability and professional appearance.

4. Scale and proportion - Elements decrease in size down the page using the same basic format to guide the eye across the page.
5. Rhythm - The layout uses lines and columns to direct viewing both horizontally and vertically through the page.
6. Emphasis - The main focus of the page is clearly

Music magazine analysis
The document analyzes magazine covers and articles from Kerrang! and Billboard magazines. It discusses design elements like images, colors, fonts and layouts used on the covers and within articles. Key points analyzed include the use of images and poses to attract audiences, color schemes, font sizes and placement of elements. Articles are also summarized in terms of topics, quotes used and writing styles.
Question 1
This document summarizes how the media product uses and develops conventions of real music magazines.
The masthead, cover image, headline, and cover lines follow conventions by using attention-grabbing fonts and colors. However, the headline is not centered. The contents page uses a neat column layout and continues the theme's fonts and colors.
The article headline stands out against the text with a different color and font. A pull quote and body text in an easy-to-read font also follow conventions. While the article image is atypical by not matching the cover, additional images provide context and make the star seem accessible. Small details like an Instagram screenshot further develop realism.
Film magazine front cover analysis
This document analyzes two film magazine covers. For the first cover, the image takes up 1/3 of the cover and shows a protective male embracing a serious female. The text dominates over the image at a 2/3 ratio. The layout seems overcrowded with the large masthead and sell lines scaling down the image. Color is simple with a grey background and white/yellow text. The cover represents a protective action love story. For the second cover, the central image takes up most space showing an actor's grimacing smile in character. Text and image ratio is more equal with the image emphasized. The layout has multiple elements near the top making it crowded. Color does not follow one theme between the masthead,
Question 1
This document analyzes how the media product uses, develops, and challenges conventions of real magazines. It summarizes how each element of the mock magazine cover follows conventions, including the masthead taking up 1/5 of the page, the colorful masthead font fitting the target audience, and the eye-catching cover image. Some elements develop conventions, such as the non-centered headline, while others challenge conventions like the staggered cover lines. The contents page layout remains neat and readable, and features like article descriptions and page numbers balance clarity and style. Overall, the analysis shows an understanding of magazine design conventions while incorporating original touches.
Music Magazine Research
The document discusses the codes and conventions of music magazine design. It provides examples of front covers, contents pages, and double page spreads from different music magazines. The front covers generally include mastheads, sell lines about main stories, and close-up images of featured artists. Contents pages are typically laid out clearly with the issue's features listed. Double page spreads combine large images with written articles, sometimes incorporating additional photos, pull quotes, or other graphic elements for variation. Overall, the examples demonstrate both adherence to and breaking of standard magazine design conventions across formats.
Contents Page Analysis - Kerrang
The contents page is divided evenly between an article on My Chemical Romance and listings of other articles. Over half the page contains images, including a large one of My Chemical Romance to promote their article. Smaller images throughout entice readers to learn more. Columns of text clearly list page numbers for articles. Additional elements like the editor's note and logo/color scheme create coherence and appeal to the magazine's target audience. The layout and use of images effectively serves the same purpose as the front cover in promoting key articles.
Textual analysis 1
The document provides an analysis of the layout, images, and text used in different sections of a magazine called "the moment". It summarizes the key design elements in the cover page, contents page, and a double-page article spread. The cover page uses bright colors, low lighting, and a centered female image. The contents page has a neutral color scheme and images/text arranged in columns. The double-page spread follows conventions with one page of image and the other of text arranged in a column between two large images.
Textual analysis 1
The document summarizes the textual analysis of various elements of a magazine's layout, including the front cover, contents page, and a double-page spread. Key points include:
- The front cover uses a low-key main image against a bright color palette to attract female readers. The masthead is in a sans serif font to appeal to stereotypical female audiences.
- The contents page has a neutral layout with stereotypical colors for its target demographic. Images relate to interior content and are positioned staggered between text.
- The double-page spread follows conventions with a large cover image and column of text between two images to separate content and engage readers visually.
Reminders of Conventions
The document provides guidance on conventions for magazine design based on a lesson the author attended. It discusses front covers, contents pages, and double page spreads of magazines like Q and Kerrang. For the front cover, it emphasizes using a striking central image, clear masthead and tagline, background that enables the image to stand out, captions and pull-quotes to hook readers. For contents pages, it suggests using large page numbers, brand identity elements, anchoring images and headings of band names. For double page spreads, it advises using a central unifying color, simple layout with title and image, and informal Q&A interview style.
Lo1 front cover_grid-3
This document discusses various elements that commonly appear on magazine covers such as mastheads, datelines, images, coverlines, and credits. A masthead, which is typically the magazine's title, becomes a recognizable logo that brands the publication. Datelines include information like the publication date, issue number, and year. Main images are usually provocative photos relating to the magazine's target audience. Coverlines preview some of the stories or articles inside the issue. Together these elements are designed to attract readers and tie back to the magazine's theme, genre, and branding.
In what ways does your media product
This document analyzes how the author's media product uses or challenges conventions of real media products. It discusses how the fonts, images, and layout on the front cover, double page spread, and contents page follow conventions. For fonts, sans serif are used on the front cover for readability while serif fonts are used for body text. Images are used consistently across pages to feature the main story. Lures are heavily used on the front cover to attract readers. The contents page uses conventional columns and descriptions to easily guide readers to content. Overall, the media product adheres closely to typical conventions for formatting, visuals, and navigation in real magazines.
Media studies evaluation question 1
The document analyzes the conventions used and challenged in the design of a magazine cover and contents page for a rock music magazine. It discusses design elements like the masthead, cover image, headlines, and pull quotes that are used to draw attention and appeal to the target audience. While most conventions of music magazines and the rock genre are followed, some aspects challenge conventions, such as partially obscuring the cover artist's eye with her hair.
Media studies evaluation question 1
The document discusses how the student's media product both follows and challenges conventions of real music magazines. It summarizes how each section of the mock magazine - the cover, contents page, and sample article - either adheres to or innovates typical magazine formatting and design. Specifically, the cover challenges conventions by obscuring one of the artist's eyes with hair. The contents page features an image of an artist not looking at the camera. And the article includes two images on one page rather than just text. Overall conventions are followed for readability but some aspects aim to match the rebellious nature of the rock genre target audience.
Movie Magazine Analysis
The document analyzes the front covers of three movie magazine issues - Total Film's Inception, Empire's The Hobbit, and Total Film's Jennifer's Body. Some key design elements highlighted across the magazines include using bold mastheads that contrast with background photos, inconspicuously placing non-essential text like prices, and including enticing cover lines and exclusive photos to attract readers' attention to previews and information about the featured films. Color schemes, font styles, and photo placement are also discussed as important factors in drawing attention to relevant content while not distracting from the main advertising messages.
Question 1 media studies evaluation
The document describes how a magazine identifies itself as a real magazine through various design elements. These include having a masthead in the top left corner, a date of publication, price and barcode in the bottom left corner, a main story headline, cover lines, and an image bleed on the front cover. The layout uses a 3-column format throughout and the colors, fonts, and imagery are tailored to the magazine's target rock/alternative music genre audience.
Professional Pages Analysis
The document analyzes the design elements of professional magazine pages, including the front cover, contents page, and double page spread. For the front cover, it notes the bold color scheme, large masthead to identify the brand, and main text highlighting the feature. The contents page contains many small pictures and no empty spaces to provide a visual overview. The double page spread has a large main image on the left to showcase an artist's importance, with narrow columns of text on the right to fit more material.
Textual analysis contents pages
The document analyzes the contents pages of two pop magazines. It discusses the main titles, images, headings, page numbers, descriptions, colors and layouts used. For the first magazine, the main title is centered at the top in bold black font. The largest image shows the band posing brightly colored outfits. Headings have page numbers, descriptions and blue quotes. The second magazine's title is in white on pink with a photo of the cover annotating sections. It uses pink and yellow colors and has multiple boxes listing pages by category with related images.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Contents page analysis
- 2. Main Feature • The main feature on the contents page is the image of the celebrity, this will most likely be the same celebrity that is on the front cover.
- 3. Structure • The structure of the contents page is in the same format in all of the ‘VIBE’ magazines however the colour scheme and image change with every issue. There is a large V in the background that takes up almost half of the page, this also has a different colour from the rest of the page therefore it stands out.
- 4. Information • The information and story lines are down the right hand side of the page, it is in a small font as they are more of a necessity than an appeal to the audience and the main feature is celebrity, which takes up almost all of the page.
- 5. Aim • The main aim of any contents page is to inform the reader of what they will find throughout the magazine and this contents page has successfully carried out the task, in a simple and effective manner.
