Typefaces for poster

For the main title, distorted, dark typefaces are considered to represent the horror genre and mysterious main character. The chosen typeface portrays a sketchy effect to link to the character. Text typefaces are meant to be bold, sharp, and easy to read. The chosen text typeface stands out with bold capital letters. Thin, narrow typefaces are discussed for credits as they are not the primary focus.

How my magazine appeals to my audience
The document discusses the design choices made for a rock magazine, including colors, fonts, images, content, and layout. Black, white, and red were chosen as the main colors as they contrast well and appeal to the target rock audience. Sans serif fonts in a gothic style were selected because they look modern and are conventional for rock magazines. Images feature angsty facial expressions and mise-en-scène to connote aggression, violence, and drama consistent with the rock genre. The content and overall layout aim to attract a young rock audience through eye-catching elements and conventions of the genre.
Fonts1
The document discusses different fonts and their suitability for a rock music magazine. It evaluates several handwritten fonts as not being suitable due to lack of lowercase letters or being too artistic. One font is deemed appropriate for headlines and subheadings as it collaborates well with the rock genre and appeals to the target audience. Another standard font is identified as useful for long articles due to being easy to read for younger audiences. One font is marked as a possible use for an indie band plug given its association with that genre.
Images that were used
This document discusses and analyzes the photos used in a music magazine. A close-up photo of the main artist's face was used on the front cover to introduce the main story interview. Another photo portrayed a model in a prison mugshot-style for the secondary story about accusations of lyric theft. A third photo placed the model in the corner alongside his interview text to link his image and words and bring him to life for the reader.

Music video analysis media
The video is a continuous single shot of bank staff in London dancing and singing along to the song "Cash in My Pocket" during a normal workday. As the staff performs, a stock market graph is visible in the background. Throughout the video, the graph gets worse until it crashes at the end. This suggests the video is exaggerating and commenting on bankers losing the country's money despite being focused on making their own money. The video starts and ends with cuts to "home video" footage of a wedding, implying the bank footage was found footage being recorded over something else. Overall, the one-take video uses the staff's performance and the changing stock market graph in the background to deliver a message about bankers.
