My rock music magazine represents a variety of social groups including both males and females through the images chosen.

The document analyzes the front cover and contents page that the author created for their music magazine coursework. For both the front cover and contents page, the author chose to follow the established codes and conventions of real music magazines. Specifically:

2) Placing the magazine in supermarket chains like Asda, Sainsbury's, and Tesco, as research found these are popular among the target middle-class audience. Supermarkets also have large magazine sections frequented by potential customers.
3) Selling at music shops like HMV and Dawson's, to directly target audiences interested in music and the rock genre. Concerts and music festivals are also discussed for direct sales to interested

Evaluation
My media product uses some conventions of real magazines but also challenges some conventions. On the front cover, it includes a masthead with a unique font, cover lines that don't cross over the subject's face, and a discount splash. However, it only includes one subject image rather than multiple images. The contents page includes section headings and a range of small images rather than few large images. However, it does not include page numbers. Overall, the product challenges conventions in some ways to make the design more interesting, but could be strengthened by improving readability and appearance.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Contents page analysis
- 1. Music Magazine Contents Page Analysis
- 2. Contents Title The title of the contents page is the largest font on the whole page. This is similar to what it is done on the front cover with the masthead. The contents page of a music magazine always has the title because it lets the reader know exactly what it is they are reading even if they already know. Images Photographs dominate the majority of the contents page. Images are a lot larger than the text and take up more space. Using images makes the contents page look a lot more visually aesthetic and therefore more appealing to look at. Layout Music magazine’s contents pages usually keep to a 3 to 4 column grid. This makes text easier to read as it is difficult to read straight across the width of page without losing your space and getting confused. The fot size never exceeds the minimum of 11 pt's and the issue number/date reappears but at the top of the page.
- 3. Images The size of the photographs included in Kerrang’s contents page, along with the majority of other contents pages, changes based on how important the article. For example the image of Marilyn Manson is the largest image as the main article of the whole magazine is about them. Page numbers The page numbers are different in size, font or effect to the text it is linked to. This is done because it makes them stand out make it easier for the reader to navigate their way through. Regulars anf Features Music magazines split their contents into regulars and features. The regulars usually contain competitions held in every issue of the magazine and information about music related events. The features of music magazines usually contain articles about different artists and bands that are in the public's eye at that certain time.
