Evaluation
The document discusses how the media product uses and challenges conventions of real magazines. It uses typical magazine features like column text layout and pull quotes. However, it does not include article headers or drop caps. The masthead font is only used on the cover to make it stand out. The same fonts are used throughout to tie the magazine together. The magazine aims to represent up-and-coming artists and young people interested in mainstream chart music. It targets audiences aged 16-25 through a young female cover artist and relevant content.
Media evaluation presentation
My magazine targets females aged 12-16 who enjoy pop and R&B music. I researched conventions of music magazines to design my magazine to appeal to this audience. On the cover, I featured a 16-year old pop/R&B artist as the central image to connect with readers. I challenged conventions by having the model wear minimal makeup to show readers they don't need it. The contents page and double-page article follow conventions but with some unique design choices. IPC Media would be suited to distribute the magazine as it publishes diverse magazines but lacks a magazine for this target age group.

The document discusses conventions for magazine covers and contents pages based on an analysis of existing music magazines. For a magazine cover, conventions include using a central image of a recognizable artist, placing contact information prominently, and incorporating the magazine's branding colors. Contents pages typically feature a masthead, subheadings to categorize articles, brief descriptions and page numbers for each item, and relevant images. The author applies these conventions in the design of their own magazine cover and contents pages for a young female audience, with adaptations like additional text or layered visual elements.

Charlotte Unwin discusses how her music magazine uses conventions of real media products in its design and layout. She aims the magazine at women aged 15-20 who are interested in pop music and celebrities. While including standard features like dates and prices, she adds unconventional touches like a purple color scheme to make the magazine stand out. The target audience is a mature teenager inspired to be a "pop princess." The magazine would be sold in stores like supermarkets and newsagents alongside a similar title.

Evaluation
The document summarizes a student's project to create a rock music magazine called "Riot" using InDesign. The student aimed to challenge conventions of real music magazines in their design choices. For the front cover, they left more white space to draw the reader's eye. The contents page featured a large central photo and block of text rather than multiple images and text boxes. Audience feedback indicated the magazine appeared professional and effectively conveyed the rock music genre through its visual design and content.
Evaluation

- The author aims to represent different music genres and social groups through the magazine's content.
Magazine pitch
The document provides details for a proposed new music magazine called "Feedback". It discusses the name and meaning behind it, the genres of music it will focus on (rock/alternative rock), its weekly publication frequency and decision to be free, its rebellious attitude aimed at teenagers, its darker color stylistic approach, and the various sections and contents that will be included such as artist features, new musician spotlights, and reader emails. The goal is to create an engaging and fun magazine for teenage music fans to discover new artists and music.
Evaluation – question_1
The document discusses how the media product uses, develops, and challenges conventions of real music magazines. It summarizes that the front cover and double page spread use typical conventions like the masthead, color scheme, standfirst, drop cap, and pull quote to look realistic. However, the contents page challenges conventions by having an atypical layout with a large main image and non-column listings to portray a fresh, distinctive magazine for its target indie music audience. In conclusion, most elements follow conventions for realism while the contents page challenges norms to suit the magazine's genre and prevent boredom for its target readers.

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.

Creative Critical Reflection
- 1. Creative critical reflection A Level Media Studies 9607
- 2. Why is it good to have a target audience? The reason why it’s good to have a target audience is so that their interests are fulfilled in the magazine. So what they like listening to and who they like going to see are featured in the magazines. So a 70 year old wouldn’t be likely read a magazine on ‘Drum and base’. When looking for my target audience I had to consider many factors. One of them being age. My age category is from 16 to 35 years old. That doesn’t mean to say that people out of this age group aren't suppose to read it but I produced a questionnaire at the beginning of my project and saw that all the young people would like to see an Sufi Rock magazine on the shelves of stores. I think my magazine is largely targeted at a loyal niche audience AT THE MOMENT. But with new artists such as Atif Aslam and The Sketches Sufi rock is becoming more and more popular and may help the sales of my magazine. I believe that my magazine will have a secondary audience because it’s a mix of Sufism and Rock. So people who are into Classical music are likely to read my music and people who listen to Classical Rock are likely to read it so I will have a mix of two audiences reading it.
- 3. Main heading Which I got from the word ‘Rhythm’ and as it’s based on Music thought it would be a good idea to use it. I got very good feedback about the title of my magazine and helped people work out what genre the magazine was based on. Feature articles to entice the audience in. Features such as “The Music Of Life” will persuade people who are interested inTrue Musicand not necessarily Sufi Roc to read the magazine. My main picture who is the singer and Model for my magazine” is quite different from what you would usually see on a magazine cover as its shows the traditional culture of Sufism. This has been done to attract the audiences attention..
- 4. For my contents page I have chosen interesting feature articles so to interest my reader. My first featured article is ‘Salmans journey to Sufi kingdom’ Which creates suspense for the ready as I haven’t said what the interview is about. The reader therefore will probably be intrigued to see who they are even if they didn't want to read that article anyway. I have also included “Lets start the festival” in my contents page as this is one of my main features of the magazine, so many people will most likely be buying the magazine for that one article and want to get to it quick and easy. I have also used a big picture of one of mosque to reflect the Poetic side of this music’ and changed it into a cutout effect on Photoshop which will attract my target audience as it is very artistic like.
- 5. For my double page spread I have used the title; the spiritual journey this is because it gives the readers an attractive heading for the poetic and musical article and it is then clear to audience who the article is about and what they’re called. I have used a typical paragraph structure for my article which makes it easy to read. I have also written on a image from my shoot to establish link between he reader and the article .Instead I wrote mine more like a story than an interview.. I think this will attract my audience as it isn’t a typical interview and they wont get bored. have used quite a large picture on my double page spread. I think this attracts the audiences attention as it’s the first time we have seen them up close.
