The document summarizes the author's media production project of creating a music magazine. The author followed standard codes and conventions of real music magazines to replicate their professional look and structure. Throughout the course, the author created a front cover, contents page, and double page spread for their rock music magazine. Compared to their initial rough magazine attempt, the quality of the final magazine was much improved with better layout, formatting and use of images. The author made sure to follow basic magazine design principles for each section, such as using large bold text and relevant photos to engage the target young adult audience.
