The document summarizes the design choices made for a magazine cover focused on rock music and gothic rock. Skylines, mastheads, and fonts relevant to the genre were used. Barbed wire around thick black lettering gave it a gritty look. The cover image featured a dark graveyard setting and a dominant masked man to convey the rock music theme. The word "RED" in the masthead was a dark crimson color to signify blood.

Media studies evaluation question 1
The document summarizes how the author developed and challenged conventions in their rock music magazine media product. They conducted research on existing magazines to learn basic magazine structures like masthead and barcode placement. Popular colors for rock magazines like black, red, and white were incorporated into the magazine's style.

The author challenged conventions slightly by featuring a solo female artist, which is rare, and placing the issue date/number separately from other details.
Lo 3 proposal 1
This document is a proposal for a print music magazine called "MM Magazine" focused on classic rock. The magazine will have a black and white color scheme and bold font inspired by Mojo Magazine. It will feature photographs, songs, artist information, concerts, and lesser-known bands. The target audience is mostly males over 35 who enjoy classic rock artists like AC/DC. The proposal aims to create a 3-page magazine including front and back covers in the dimensions of Mojo Magazine.
Live lounge evaluation
The document discusses a magazine evaluation of a music magazine called "Live Lounge Magazine" created by Ed Silverton. The summary discusses:
1) How the magazine develops conventions of real music magazines through inclusion of features like mastheads and images while focusing on a different music genre.
2) The magazine represents people aged 30-60 who enjoy various live music styles, with the goal of representing those passionate about live music performances.
3) Bauer Media Group would be a suitable media institution to distribute the magazine globally due to their experience with music magazines.
Question three: In what ways does your product use, develop or challenge form...
The document discusses how a music magazine product was influenced by and followed conventions of the existing magazine Kerrang!, but also sought to differentiate itself. Specifically:
Kerrang! influenced the use of bright colors on the cover to attract readers, though darker colors were used instead. Conventions like including a main image, barcode, and cover lines were followed. The contents page featured stereotypical rock clothing to indicate music genres.
An article included a dropped red capital letter to tie the color scheme together. Headlines and straplines were used to intrigue readers without giving the entire story away. The only challenged convention was portraying two female artists prominently to counter the typically male-dominated representation in rock magazines
Question 1- media evaluation
The student created a magazine that uses conventions from real music magazines to appear authentic. Specifically, the student used color symbolism on the cover from Justin Bieber's Rolling Stone magazine cover to suggest the model's blossoming career. Inside pages include hearts in the model's hair and her holding a guitar to imply her love for music and nature. The student also included an editor's signature on the contents page and used three main colors and fonts as is typical. However, the student had the model's eyes closed on photos rather than direct address, to portray her as free-spirited. Overall, the student aimed to challenge some conventions while developing others to suit their indie pop genre and target audience.
Evaluation part 2
Future Publishing would be a suitable distributor for the new hardcore music magazine. As an established but growing publisher of music magazines like Metal Hammer, they could help expand the new magazine's reach in the publishing market. The target audience for the magazine is males and females ages 14 to 40 to encompass both younger fans interested in new bands as well as older fans still engaged with the genre through band reunions and new music. Younger people featured on the cover would appeal to younger readers and help attract that segment of the target audience.
Evaluation
The document discusses the design and target audience of a music magazine focused on the hardcore punk genre. It describes using similar conventions to existing magazines like Kerrang in terms of layout, fonts, colors and images. The target audience is identified as white teenagers interested in hardcore music, who may dress in band t-shirts and have tattoos and piercings. The magazine would be distributed in stores like supermarkets and music retailers, as well as online and at band shows, with a price of £2 to appeal to its teenage audience.
Evaluation
The document discusses the conventions used in the student's magazine product and how it compares to real magazines. The student's magazine uses typical conventions seen in rock magazines like showing instruments and having the main subject and image on the front cover. While similar to magazines like Kerrang! and Mojo, the student made deliberate design choices around colors, layout, and one unique element of covering the masthead with the main image. The magazine's goal is to promote new and upcoming bands to readers while challenging other rock magazines.

My media product challenges and develops conventions of real music magazines. It includes free items to entice readers like real magazines. It uses tag phrases such as "Finally Interviewed!" to suggest interviewing an artist is important. The font, color scheme, and graphic elements reference and pay homage to real album covers like Madvillainy. The writing style mimics conversational tone used in magazines targeting a teen audience.

Evvaluation q1
The document analyzes how the author's media product, a country music magazine, uses, develops, and challenges conventions of real country music magazines. It finds that the author's magazine follows many conventions, such as using bold mastheads, taglines, and articles about up-and-coming artists. However, it also challenges some conventions by using a colored contents page to appeal to younger audiences and having the background of a cover photo rather than a plain color, a rare approach for music magazines. Overall, the author aims to create a magazine that feels modern while still clearly being a country music publication through its use of stereotypical imagery and language.
Media Evaluation tom standen
My media product is a magazine about rock music aimed at an audience of 16-25 year olds. It uses some common magazine conventions like the title placement but also challenges conventions by using only black and white imagery. The magazine represents its target audience of rock music fans in that age group. It could potentially be distributed in music shops, supermarkets, or online on music festival or band websites to reach its audience. Through creating the magazine, I learned new skills in Photoshop and about designing magazines for the digital age.
Evaluation
The document provides an analysis of the media products created by the author for an assignment. The products include a magazine cover, contents page, and double page spread. The author discusses how the magazine takes unconventional aspects from other magazines researched. Two potential publishers are identified that may be suitable to distribute the magazine due to their focus on similar alternative music genres. The target audience is described as alternative teenagers interested in rock and indie music.
Research: Moodboard
All of the magazines discussed in the document, including indie, dance, classical, R&B, pop, rap, and rock magazines, have different conventions and visual styles that correspond to their respective genres of music. Rap magazines, for example, typically feature darker colors, gangster imagery, and flashy jewelry, while classical magazines usually depict classical instruments and recognizable classical musicians. The typography, masthead, and cover images are also tailored to each magazine's target genre and intended tone. Creating a mood board to analyze these various music magazines will help inform the development of the author's own magazine concept, including the target market, visual design elements, and buzzwords.
Rachael Mc Carthy Music Magazine Evaluation
The document discusses the creation of a music magazine targeting "scene kids" ages 16-25. It describes conventions used from existing magazines and some unconventional elements. The magazine represents its target audience through music and celebrity content as well as fashionable models. Distribution through Bauer Media is proposed due to their expertise in similar magazines and ability to advertise across other music platforms. Lessons from creating a school magazine previously helped inform the process.
Statement of intent
Bethany Holman intends to create two convergent media products for her media studies brief. Her first product will be an entertainment magazine called "Replay" that focuses on different music genres with each monthly issue. Her second product will be a website to complement the magazine. The website and magazine will be linked through competitions that can only be entered on the website and articles providing behind-the-scenes insight into the magazine's production and interviews. This convergence is meant to build engagement between readers and the magazine in the digital age.
Christie question 1
By analyzing existing music magazines, the author learned about common conventions like the masthead location, color schemes, and page layouts. Dark colors and somber feels are commonly used for rock magazines. Most magazines place photos on the right and text on the left of spreads. However, the author challenged this convention by placing the photo on the bottom left for their magazine. To capture photos that fit the rock genre, the author used a studio setting with white backgrounds, grunge effects, younger models, and rock-inspired clothing.
Evaluation 1
The document discusses how the media product, a dance music magazine, represents particular social groups. It aims the magazine at young adults aged 16-32 who enjoy dance music. While both genders may be interested, it likely appeals more to young women than men. The magazine represents dance music fans through its choice of genre, target age range, featured artists, colorful design emulating dance clubs, and stories about popular dance artists and music genres. The informal language is accessible to the target audience.
MEDIA QUESTION 1 2K16
1. The document discusses how the media product uses, develops, and challenges conventions of real media products.
2. To make the product look professional and familiar to the target audience, conventions were largely followed, such as layout, color schemes, and direct address by artists seen in magazines like XXL, Vibe, and Billboard.

Media evaluation
My media product uses conventions of Kerrang! magazine, including a punk rock style layout and text. The front cover features a close-up band image like punk magazines. Double page spreads focus on bands with backstories. The dark theme with blue and white headings maintains consistency across pieces. Bauer Media Group could distribute it as they produce Kerrang! magazine. The target audience is males and females aged 16-21 interested in punk bands like Paramore and Fall Out Boy. Images aim to attract this audience by reflecting punk themes of anarchy and anti-conformity through industrial, distorted styles.

Question 3
The document discusses distribution options for a new music magazine called "Smash". It analyzes three primary distribution channels:
1) Partnering with Bauer Media, as they already produce similar rock music magazines. Bauer could help strengthen their brand and reach a younger audience.

AS Media Studies: Music Magazine Evaluation
Sarah Green created a magazine that follows conventions of the genre such as consistent fonts, colors and layout. She used blues and blacks for the color palette with orange and brown accents on the cover to make them stand out. The main feature is the band "Every Third Thursday" but she included other artists to avoid giving the impression it's only about one band.

Photoshop was used to ink rough sketches and crop characters, while Premier and Boom-Toon helped animate the hand-drawn scenes and sync lip movements to music by creating individual mouth shapes. Color was used to add depth, while keeping characters uncolored to make the animation more striking.

Oomph's "augen auf" video references horror films and depicts disturbing images of demonic children to contrast the innocent lyrics while setting a dark mood. 30 Seconds to Mars' "Kings and Queens" cuts between the band and a narrative of many people biking together to represent the harmonious lyrics, using rich dark colors and epic cinematography of LA at night for their newly released single.
