Magazine front cover reviews
The magazine cover uses Kanye West's image to attract readers as he was an iconic music figure at the time. They also use his image because the main story is about him. Very little text is used on the cover so the target audience is not overwhelmed but intrigued by the subheadings to learn about the main stories.

The direct eye contact of West's image further engages readers and encourages them to purchase the magazine.

The document discusses existing research on the design elements of a music magazine. It finds that:
1) A red, black, and white color scheme creates a feeling of simplicity and conciseness that appeals to the target audience.
2) A mixture of posed and naturalistic photos provides a good balance of stories and intimacy between artists and readers.
3) The target audience prefers more images than text based on research, a style this magazine employs.
Evaluation
My media product uses similar forms and conventions as real magazines like Kerrang! and NME by including elements like the issue date, price, and featured articles on the left side. The consistent fonts, colors, and styles throughout also mimic real magazines. The target audience is emos and rockers aged 13-19 through the use of darker colors, sarcastic language, and bands from that era. The writing and presentation aims to attract this audience by being bold, standing out from the dark background, and including relatable content. Through this process, I learned how to use Photoshop and gained experience using the magazine design software InDesign.
Task 8

Research also showed the need to include typical magazine cover elements to make it look realistic.
Ancillary stages
After analyzing examples of soap magazines and posters, the document discusses planning for a soap magazine ancillary and poster.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The main image is in the centre of the page, by doing this, the audience automatically look straight at him primarily, then your eyes draw to the bright writing, I think the bright writing upon a dark image works really well as you straight away can see who the image is of. There is a slogan running across the main image which isn’t as vivid but works really well with the font and positioning it’s in.
