Overall, the key aspects to focus on include audience, music styles, and carving out a niche not filled by other magazines.
Masthead analysis
This document discusses and compares three different music magazine mastheads. It analyzes how each masthead is described, the implied target audience, and suggested musical genre. The mastheads differ primarily in their font choices - one uses a bold, loud font; another an elegant font; and the last a more formal font - reflecting their desired audiences. They also vary slightly in color usage. However, two magazines share the use of red, likely because it connotes passion for music. Overall, the mastheads are analyzed to understand how subtle design differences communicate each magazine's identity and positioning.
Contents pages
The document discusses the codes and conventions used in the contents pages of music magazines NME, Q Magazine, and Kerrang. It analyzes aspects like layout, images, fonts, colors, and how they appeal to target audiences and fulfill needs through codes. The contents pages generally have a clear masthead, large page numbers, organized listings of articles and bands, and images that position readers in the musical action and relate to the genre. Color schemes, fonts, and repetition of logos create branding awareness.
Evaluation Presentation
The document discusses a music magazine created by the author. It uses conventions of real music magazines such as prominent images and busy covers. The magazine represents those interested in rock and indie music. It would likely be distributed in mainstream retail outlets like newsagents and music shops to target its audience of teenagers and young adults interested in rock music. The author addresses this audience on the cover using techniques like rhetorical questions and emphasizing content to encourage reading. Through making the magazine, the author learned skills with the Fireworks software, image editing, fonts, and colors.
Evaluationquestion1
The document discusses how the student's music magazine product uses and challenges conventions of existing music magazines. Specifically, it used a natural background on the cover page to challenge magazines that use bright backgrounds. It aimed to attract audiences by using natural props like wristbands and a guitar with the rock genre model. The contents page follows conventions of music magazines with accessible page numbers and images showing inside content. The double page spread is an important highlight. Overall, the magazine represents teenagers through the rock-inspired content, props, and makeup-free models to target that large social group of music listeners.
Evaluationquestion1
The document discusses how the student's music magazine product uses and challenges conventions of existing music magazines. Specifically, the student used a natural background on the magazine cover to challenge the typical bright backgrounds of other magazines. The contents page follows conventions for layout and accessibility. The double page spread and photos are meant to attract teenage audiences by representing what they like, such as the wristbands and guitar worn by the cover model. The magazine targets rock music fans aged 16-19 by using props and styles they would typically wear without makeup.
Evaluation
The document discusses how the student's media product uses and develops conventions of real music magazines. Specifically, it replicates features of magazines like Kerrang! such as the slanted cover line and placement of the masthead behind the band image on the front cover. The color scheme represents the chosen music genres. While maintaining conventions, the student also challenges some, such as using unprofessional band photos taken with a white background instead of on location. The student learned various technologies like Photoshop and Blogger in constructing the magazine.
Question 1 Presentation
My media product challenges conventions of country music magazines in some ways:
1. It uses a decorative masthead font rather than a plain sans serif font to make it more unique and interesting.
2. The front cover includes additional images and varied coverline effects and styles compared to a single shadow effect.
3. The language on the front cover is more colloquial to engage audiences.
4. It develops on other magazines by including fashion and gossip topics to attract younger female readers, inspired by successful magazines in other genres.
Music magazine evaluation
- The document discusses questions about representing particular social groups, distributing media products, attracting audiences, and learning from creating a media product.
- The responses describe creating a rap music magazine aimed at 16-18 year olds, representing that demographic and distributing through large media companies.
- Creating the magazine required learning photo editing software and technologies to develop an authentic-looking product from initial research to final version.

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:

Contents page analysis
- 2. Questions for content’s page analysis • For section A you should analyse a magazine contents page that relates to one of your front cover analysis e.g. NME cover and contents page and compare it to one other content’s page. Does the magazine use images? How have these images been constructed? How do they support your initial findings about the style of the magazine and its intended audience? • What colours and fonts are used? Does this support the style of the front cover? • How is the information organised so that it is accessible to the audience? What are the different sections? What does this tell you about the magazine? • Are there any promotional features? • Is the magazine logo placed anywhere on the page? How dominant is it? • Does the brand have any other franchises? Are these promoted on the contents page? For section B you should compare this magazine contents page to another contents page. For example, Clash magazine is a bi-monthly magazine which is aimed at 18-26 year old city slickers who enjoy live alternative music from a range of genre (e.g. rock, dance, hiphop). How does this magazine, aimed at an older more sophisticated audience compare with Kerrang or NME?! How would you describe the layout of the contents page? Does it remind you of anything? What does this say about the audience? How is this different to another content’s page?
