The document is an evaluation of a magazine product created by Jamie Marshall. Some key points: - Jamie used conventions like a large cover image, date, price, and color scheme to make the magazine look professional. The masthead, cover image, and color scheme were the main focus. - The magazine represents males through its masculine color scheme. Articles focus on male rappers, representing rap/hip hop fans and working class people. Color scheme and content also target teenagers. - Bauer Media Group would be suited to distribute the magazine since they publish music magazines but not many focused on rap/hip hop. Their large distribution network across shops and online would help. - The target audience is male teenagers

Evaluation
The document summarizes the process of creating a music magazine called "Classical Vibe" to evaluate forms and conventions of real music magazines. It discusses designing the front cover to resemble "Gramophone" magazine with a banner on the left, bold masthead in red and black fonts, and a medium long shot female image. The inside pages also follow conventions with article titles in a sidebar and barcode in the bottom corner. The magazine represents its target audience of affluent, educated listeners through formal language, images of females in dresses, and a "funky" masthead font. The magazine would be distributed by Haymarket Media Group due to their experience with classical magazines. Advanced software like Photoshop was used to professionally edit

The document is a reflection on a student's media studies assignment to create a music magazine. Some key points:
1) The student incorporated common magazine conventions like mastheads, cover lines, and barcodes to make the magazine look professional.
2) The contents page and double page spread were influenced by the magazine Vibe for their layout and typography.
3) Photoshop skills improved in editing images and creating a cohesive design.
4) The target audience of 16-25 year olds interested in hip hop/R&B was addressed with attention-grabbing cover lines and articles on popular artists.
Question 1
The document summarizes how the media product uses and challenges conventions of real magazines. It describes replicating conventions like the masthead, dominant image, and essential information from inspiration magazines. However, it also challenges conventions by including more sub-images on the double page spread to make it more appealing, using swearing in the article title to appeal to teens, and not including an editor's note on the contents page to focus on content. The summary highlights how the media product borrows from real magazines but also adapts conventions for its target audience.

Media music magazine evalutaion
My magazine uses many conventional techniques of real magazines, such as including a bar code, title, interview, contents page, color scheme, images of people, layout, extras, and posters. The bar code, title, and color scheme were designed to attract my target audience of rock music fans and make the magazine look authentic. Features like the interview, contents page, and use of models help tell the story of the artists and engage readers. Including extras and free posters with the magazine encourages people to buy it. Overall, the magazine represents my progression from the initial school magazine assignment by applying what I have learned about magazine design conventions to create a more polished and professional final product.
Evaluation of my final music magazine
The document summarizes the evaluation of a music magazine created by the student for a class project. It discusses several ways the magazine challenged conventions of real music magazines, such as placing page numbers at the top of pages rather than the bottom. It also targeted an older age range of 16-24 rather than the typical younger audience. The student learned about technologies like Photoshop and survey tools in creating the magazine. Overall, the student felt their final product was a major improvement over their preliminary task, with better design, layout, and ability to attract readers.

Creating the preliminary school magazine helped the student improve their skills and understand conventions of magazines.
Question 2
The document discusses the target audience and design choices for a rock music magazine. The target audience is 15-25 year olds who enjoy rock music. Both genders are targeted as interests have become less gendered. Most survey respondents listened to punk rock and bought magazines monthly, so the magazine will focus on punk bands and be released monthly. The £2.99 price point was chosen to be affordable for the largely student and part-time worker target demographic. The front cover image features a white British model in line with rock music's stereotypical audience.

The process of creating the magazine helped the student learn publishing and design skills using various technologies.
Question 7
The document discusses the progression of the author's skills from an initial preliminary task of creating a school/college magazine to their final product. For the preliminary task, the author did not consider camera angles or shots when taking photos and did not think about the target audience or use of language. However, for the final magazine, the author learned about these important elements and was able to apply them, such as considering camera techniques, target audience, font variation, layout, and adhering to a color scheme. The author feels their skills in areas like photography, magazine construction, and attention to detail have greatly improved from the initial task.
Question 5
The document describes how the creator of an acoustic/rock music magazine addressed their target audience of primarily females aged 16 and above.

Attracting this audience
Question 1
This document discusses how the media product both follows and challenges conventions of real magazines. It follows conventions such as including a masthead at the top center, removing backgrounds from photos to draw attention to celebrities, using columns on the contents page for navigation, and maintaining a 50/50 text to image ratio on double page spreads. However, it challenges conventions by using a toned down color scheme rather than bright colors, addressing the audience formally rather than using slang, and featuring a model looking into the distance rather than directly at the camera on the cover. The goal is to make the magazine visually distinct while still maintaining usability.
Evaluation: Question 1
The document discusses the use of conventions in magazine design. It states that the author's magazine both follows and challenges conventions. Key conventions used include a large central image on the double page spread, topic columns and page numbers on the contents page, and a striking central image on the front cover. However, the front cover also challenges conventions by using minimal text. The color palette also challenges conventions by using complementary colors rather than bright, clashing ones. Overall, the magazine both draws on familiar conventions but also challenges stereotypes for a more artistic design.
AS Media Studies: Evaluation Question 5
The document summarizes the design elements used on the cover and inside pages of a rap music magazine to attract its target audience. Key elements include:
1) A bold red masthead with a graffiti-style font that instantly conveys the rap genre.
2) Striking layouts using red, black, and white fonts of varying sizes to draw attention to main features.
3) A cover model that directly addresses the reader with a serious yet calming look to intrigue and inspire them.
4) Consistent use of red, black, and white throughout to give the magazine a professional, stylish look appealing to its audience.
Documentary Styles Research & Analysis
The document discusses four documentary styles: expository, observational, interactive, and reflective. The expository style uses voiceovers to explain images shown. The observational style films events as they occur without interference. The interactive style includes interviews that may be edited and aimed at undermining interviewees. The reflective style focuses on the documentary's construction and may include accidental visible filmmakers.
Research into costume, props and location
The document discusses research into costumes, props, and locations for a documentary reenactment of the kidnapping of girls. It suggests using a black tracksuit with a hood for the kidnappers to create mystery and fear. Gloves are proposed to show how easily crimes can be committed without leaving evidence. A school uniform for the girls highlights their youth and vulnerability. Folders and a fake weapon aim to increase fear, while a getaway car could help identify the kidnappers. A local park and forest are locations that seem suitable for such an attack due to their rural nature. The goal is to make the reenactments realistic and engaging in order to raise awareness of this crime.
My Institution
GWL was chosen as the name for the institution to sound professional while being unique. It stands for Game Worldwide Limited and focuses on sports. Several logos were designed to be simple yet attractive. Feedback was collected and the first logo was preferred as the best representation of the institution's name and having a hint of individuality. It incorporated the globe to represent "worldwide" and clearly showed the abbreviation while also displaying the full name.

Color schemes varied but consistently featured some combination of black, white, and an accent color to draw the eye to key information on the dense contents pages.
Double page spread analysis
The document contains summaries of magazine double page spreads analyzing layout, design elements, and target audiences. Key details summarized include placement of images, text and colors used; styles of fonts, text sizes and emphasis; and implied topics, tones and audiences of the articles based on these visual design choices. The summaries are of varying magazine spreads featuring musicians, models and celebrities.
Research into Costume, Props and Location
This document discusses the importance of costumes, props, and location in documentaries. It provides examples of how each element can provide context and information to viewers. Costumes can indicate a subject's occupation or beliefs. Props can symbolize and illustrate what a subject is discussing.

Storyboard
Two girls are walking in the park and are followed by a hooded man watching them. The girls become suspicious and start walking quicker as the man follows closer. He then unveils a knife, causing the girls to run away in fear while being chased. The man manages to grab one of the girls while the other stops to help, and a dramatic re-enactment cuts to interviews with the upset family and friend of the missing girl.
Questionaire Analysis
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise has also been shown to boost self-esteem and can serve as a healthy way to manage stress.
Documentary Comparison
The document compares the structures of two documentaries: The Mafia with Trevor McDonald and Where Am I Sleeping Tonight?. Both documentaries have informal interview structures, with interviews occurring spontaneously in everyday locations rather than staged settings. Trevor McDonald maintains a formal demeanor despite informal situations, while the interviewees and Martin Reed in Where Am I Sleeping Tonight? are casually dressed and speak informally. The Mafia documentary discusses more serious and dangerous criminal material, while Where Am I Sleeping Tonight? focuses on homelessness but with a lighter tone. Both use voiceovers and supplemental materials to provide context.
Effective Images
The document discusses 5 potential images for use in a music magazine article or cover. Picture 1 shows an empty stage that could represent an artist's tour. Picture 2 shows stage lights that could highlight an artist in the center. Picture 3 is a plain white background suitable for a cover photo. Picture 4 is a full-length shot of an artist that could be used on the cover or in an article. Picture 5 shows a recording studio booth that could accompany a paragraph about recording.
Casting
Jamie is choosing a front cover image for her magazine. She considers images of herself and several male models in costumes representing different genres. The first image of Jamie uses a long shot to show her full body and give readers a sense of who she is. However, her costume could better represent the genre. Ultimately, Jamie decides the first image of herself is best to personalize the magazine, though a different outfit could improve the representation of the genre.
Article Research
The document summarizes research on article layout and structure. It discusses three articles that were interviewed-based and included an image. The articles used different structures like being broken into sections or written as one continuous piece. Quotes from interviews were featured. Most commonly, articles placed the image on one page and text on the other for a simple, professional layout. The conclusion notes key learnings around page layout, content inclusion, and structure from analyzing multiple articles.
Mastheads & Analysis
Jamie Marshall analyzed 5 masthead designs for their magazine through a group discussion. The group felt the genre of the magazine was hip hop based on the name. They also felt mastheads 2 and 3 were the best designs, with masthead 3 working best because the bold style would match the hip hop genre. Masthead 5 was viewed as the worst design since some letters were not visible and the style did not fit hip hop. Jamie agreed masthead 3 was the best choice as the bold style would look good at the top of the magazine, but would need additional effects and colors added.
Photo Shoot Analysis
The document analyzes 4 photos taken during a photo shoot. Photo 1 used a medium shot from the side at normal height but could show more of the model. Photo 2 used a close up shot from a slightly raised left angle but more of the model could be shown. Photo 3 used a close up side shot of just the face from normal height but better quality and lighting could improve it. Photo 4 used a long full body front shot from mid height but higher quality could improve it.
Name Brainstorm
This document lists potential names for a new magazine, including The Hits, Tune Magazine, Top Shot, Rap Mag, Rap Hits, HHH, MM, and Loud. It appears to be brainstorming name ideas that are music or hip hop related. The list provides a range of short, one or two word names as well as some slightly longer title options for a new magazine.
Magazine Questionnaire Results and Analysis
The document describes the results of a 5 question magazine questionnaire answered by multiple people. The questions included whether people read magazines, how much they would pay for magazines, their reasons for reading magazines, which magazine topics they preferred, and how often they read magazines. Charts are included showing the ranges of answers provided across the questions.

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.

Evaluation
- 1. EVALUATION By Jamie Marshall
- 2. 1. IN WHAT WAYS DOES YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT USE, DEVELOP OR CHALLENGE FORMS AND CONVENTIONS OF REAL MEDIA PRODUCTS?I used conventions in my magazine to try and make it look as professional as I could and to give it a proper magazine look. The conventions I used on my front cover were a large mid shot image, to clearly show the figure on the front cover to attract readers and to show what the magazine is about. I wanted to use an image in the first place as I feel it is one of the most important parts of a magazine front cover and it makes it look the most professional. The date would just make the magazine seem more realistic and again make it look like a real magazine. The same goes for the price, it gave the magazine front cover a realistic look and follows the regular conventions of most magazines. Next the barcode and barcode, to stick to regular conventions of a magazine, features to show what the magazine has inside of it, promotions to give a more realistic look to the magazine, masthead because it is a vital part of the magazine and it is a basic convention and a colour scheme which again is a vital part of the magazine as it gives it an individual look. This is because I felt that they all gave my magazine the best professional look and
- 3. More specifically, the masthead, large mid shot image and colour scheme was my main focus as they are the most visible conventions and they will give my magazine the best look. However I didn’t use a left hand third, cover lines, puff/plug and a unique selling point, this is because I felt these weren’t the best looking or the most important. I didn’t use a left hand third because I thought it didn’t look good next to my picture and think it looked the best. Also the magazine which I used for my inspiration didn’t use these conventions either.
- 4. 2. HOW DOES YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT REPRESENT PARTICULAR SOCIAL GROUPS? I think my magazine represents the male gender through the colour scheme. It’s quite dark and gives a masculine look. Also the feature and articles are all about male artist who mainly have a male target audience. The features and articles would also represent rap and hip hop fans. It would be aimed at ‘working class’ people because of the article. This is because the article is based on an interview and isn’t really long as it only covers a page so it may not be the long piece of writing higher class people may be looking for. Finally my magazine represents teenagers through the colour scheme, article and features. The colour scheme isn’t bright and childish but it isn’t dull with no colour for an adult so I think the dark colours mixed with some bright colours. The features and article again include trendy music artist whose main target audience is teens. The artist would also match the social group as he is a young/teen artist and a rap & hip hop artist, which is who the magazine is aimed at.
- 5. 3. WHAT KIND OF MEDIA INSTITUTION MIGHT DISTRIBUTE YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT AND WHY? I think the Bauer would be the media institution to distribute my magazine because they are a massive magazine distributor and are known for some of the biggest magazines selling. I think they would be interested in my magazine because they don’t produce many music magazine so I feel they would like to change this. Bauer media group are known for around 80 magazine some are the top sellers in the UK including heat, FHM and MATCH! Bauer distribute their magazine in two different ways, in shops and online but their main seller is online. They would suit my magazine as they produce many other music magazine but not many with the same music genre. However, a smaller media institution may also distribute this magazine because its unknown
- 6. 4. WHO WOULD BE THE AUDIENCE FOR YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT? My target audience would be for male teenagers who are interested in Rap/Hip Hop/R&B. I came to this decision because I felt it would make it easier to make the magazine as that target audience matches me and so I would know what to look for in the magazine. I didn’t change my target audience during construction because I feel it would make it too hard to change and the target audience I started with made it easier to make the magazine. I think it was easy to make my magazine to suit my target audience because I just used other magazine with this target audience to help me and use ideas if I was stuck and I just made sure that my features and article were based round the right artist. However, some women will enjoy this magazine too so the magazine won’t be too gender specific.
- 7. 5. WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNT ABOUT TECHNOLOGIES FROM THE PROCESS OF CONSTRUCTING THIS PRODUCT? The software I used was Indesign, Photoshop CS3 and Google Chrome. Indesign was used for making my double page spread and my masthead. The double page spread was created by using the double page option and it consisted of text boxes, coloured squares and images. The mastheads were just different texts with effects such as colour, shadow and transparency. Photoshop CS3 was used for my contents page and my front cover. The contents page was created by using a black page with a contrast background, images, text boxes and coloured shapes. For my image I had to crop out the background and just have the person on its own.
- 8. 6. LOOKING BACK AT YOUR PRELIMINARY TASK, WHAT DO YOU FEEL YOU HAVE LEARNT IN THE PROGRESSION FROM IT TO THE FULL PRODUCT?I feel I have learnt quite a lot. At first I only had a vague idea of what a magazine consists of and what one looked like. Now I know about conventions which I have tried to put into my magazine now to give it the most professional look. The skills I have learnt include Photoshop and Indesign, before I would have had no idea how to use these applications let along to be able to produce what I have. I have improved because I have picked up better ICT skill and learnt how to professionally make a magazine instead of using PowerPoint. I have picked up general photoshop skills which have helped me construct the professional looking magazine I have made.
