Evaluation question 1
My music magazine uses conventions of real media products in several ways, including a standard bold masthead at the top of the front cover to catch readers' attention, and a bold cover line relating to the main image, similar to other magazines. However, it also challenges some conventions. It does not include a caption next to the main image on the double-page spread to avoid clutter. It also only uses one photo on the double-page spread instead of multiple images, editing it to stand out from the text.

Evaluation of music magazine
My media product conforms to many conventions of real magazines in its front cover, contents page, and double page spread designs. On the front cover, it uses elements like cover lines, barcode, and overlapping title that are common across magazines. The contents page repeats the magazine branding and includes photography and neutral backgrounds as most magazines do. However, the product challenges some conventions by including more written information than images on the contents page. It also challenges conventions through its use of social media integration and a darker color scheme on the double page spread that are less common for magazines.

Magazine Evaluation - Question 5
The document describes how a magazine targeted its audience of 16-24 year olds from working and middle class backgrounds. It used a competitive price of £2.10, offered festival tickets on the cover to appeal to their music interests, and featured popular bands. The contents page continued the bold color scheme and included a band index and subscription offer. The double page article spread also maintained the style with a music studio image, tag, pull quotes in large font, and stand first in bold to attract readers.
Evaluation
My media product follows several conventions of real magazines:
- It uses a main overlapping image on the cover with the title below, and larger cover lines with subtitles.
- The contents page includes the magazine logo and uses a consistent color scheme. Section titles are simple.
- Articles include a summary, quote, and photo credit anchored near images. Page numbers are included.
- Conventions like mastheads, footers, barcodes in dead space, and credits are followed. Overall the magazine aims to be realistic and professional by adhering closely to typical magazine conventions.
Attitude complete
This magazine will be presented in an informal manner to relate to its target audience of younger people who would not want to read many pages of writing. It will use bright colors, bold fonts, and large pull quotes to emphasize the bold and outgoing genres of music featured. Photographs will show the audience's perspective to make the magazine feel more real. The layout and design will give readers a feel of freedom in the music world and relate to different genres through bold and funky fonts, with some pages using only images and little text to avoid discouraging the audience.

Q1
My media product both uses and challenges conventions of real music magazines.
It uses conventions such as having an eye-catching masthead in a unique font, photos that make direct eye contact, and clearly separated cover lines and columns on the contents page.
However, it also challenges conventions by not presenting content in a generic magazine layout. The contents page and double-page spread challenge conventions through their non-standard column arrangements and use of color clashes on the backgrounds. While some images and text boxes still follow conventions, the overall designs present information in unconventional ways.
Question 1
The document discusses how a student magazine project utilizes and challenges conventions of real magazines. It describes how the cover uses symbolic codes like the model's shocked facial expression to emphasize the masthead. While the cover lines are typically on the left, they are on the right. The contents page follows conventions like using columns and folios to list articles, but challenges conventions by having more white space. The double page spread includes typical magazine elements like a headline, pull quote, columns and images, but differs from researched magazines in its use of color and layout.
Question one
The student created a music magazine called AMPED that uses several conventions from real music magazines like NME, Metal Hammer, and Q. The front cover features a large central photo of the main artist like NME. Color schemes representing rock music include black, white, red, blue, and yellow. The masthead is prominently displayed unlike some magazines where it is blocked. While adhering to many conventions, the student also challenged some by adding a border to the front cover to focus attention and provide structure. Overall, the magazine draws from real media examples while making some adaptations.

Evaluation question 1
The document discusses conventions used in real music magazines that the media product aims to develop or challenge. It outlines several typical elements including mastheads, puffs, contents pages, cover images and text. Specifically, it notes that front covers usually feature the masthead and central image related to the genre, while contents pages list subsections and previews.

The media product incorporates many of these conventions, such as mastheads, puffs, cover lines, and a double page spread interview format. It aims to develop the conventions through consistent use of green and purple as its house style colors.
Evaluation
The document summarizes how the student's college magazine product both follows and challenges conventions of professional magazines. It follows conventions such as using a masthead, rule of thirds layout, coverlines, and anchoring images. However, it challenges conventions by using a mid-long shot of the model rather than a medium close-up, not including a background, and having a less intriguing contents page lacking star power compared to a celebrity magazine. Overall, the document evaluates how the student's magazine both adheres to typical magazine formats but also differs in some respects.
Powerpoint
This document summarizes how a music magazine follows conventions of real music magazines in its form and design. It includes a front cover with the magazine name and issue details, a contents page with the cover image and editorial, and double page spreads with main images and column-based text. Props featured portray stereotypical hip-hop styles. Freebies are also included to attract audiences, following industry conventions.
Quastion 1
My magazine uses conventions from other magazines in its genre, such as sans-serif fonts and different fonts around the cover to seem contemporary. It keeps the cover layout simple and eye-catching like Q magazine. However, it differs from magazines in other genres which use soft colors and serif fonts for mature audiences and more writing on the cover for sophisticated readers. The double page spread imitates NME's layout of a full page picture with different fonts to make it more interesting.
Question 7. looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have
This document reflects on changes made between a preliminary magazine design and the final design. The preliminary design lacked clarity around its genre and target audience, and had an unattractive layout with boring fonts and lots of empty space. The final design shows significant improvements - it has more variation in fonts and style, a more professional and ordered layout, and clearer indications of its genre and target audience. These changes demonstrate that the author learned from their preliminary work and research into existing magazines and audiences.
Question 1
The document discusses how the media product, a music magazine, uses and challenges conventions of real music magazines. It follows many conventions such as including a masthead, rule of thirds layout, cover lines, price and barcode at the bottom. Images use medium/medium close-up shots as seen in Billboard magazine.

Images use medium close-ups or long shots depending on focusing on expression or fashion. A double page spread includes a pull quote and drop capital for the introduction, with a full-page image of the artist that challenges conventions by not looking at the camera.

Question 1
In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
As Media Preliminary Task - Niamh Reilly
Niamh Reilly created a preliminary student magazine to learn skills in Photoshop and InDesign. She used techniques like the eyedropper tool to maintain consistent colors throughout. Using layers helped organize different elements. Positioning the masthead in the top third and a dominant central image reinforced magazine conventions. However, including more large pictures on the contents page than typical magazines challenges some conventions. The magazine is free to appeal more to students and includes a letter from the editor like most magazines. Cropping and angling images draws attention to the page. Borders around pictures using the box tool also make them stand out.
Question 1
The document discusses how the student's media product follows conventions of real magazines. It describes including elements like a masthead, header, footer, barcode and price on the front cover. The contents page includes page numbers and images. Shot types like medium close-ups were used for consistency. Feature stories about artists and albums were included as these are conventional. Descriptions of the front cover, contents page and double page spread show how conventions like large central images and lists of contents were followed to make the media product seem realistic. Some experimentation with font styles also occurred.
Question 1
The document discusses the ways in which the author's media product follows conventions of real media products. Specifically, the author placed the masthead, header, footer, barcode, date, issue number and price on the front cover following conventions.
