Evaluation of vivere
The document discusses how a media product both follows and challenges conventions of real magazines. It follows conventions such as including a masthead, prominent images, and magazine title in a sans-serif font. However, it challenges conventions by not using a contrasting color for the title and using a foreign language. The document also discusses how it includes many images to overview content but also large blocks of text. It develops conventions by including subscription details with images and links to websites on every page as well as QR codes for exclusive content.
Evaluation lottie
The document discusses the steps taken to design the front cover of a magazine. It describes choosing a large font in black to stand out on the white background, then adding a masthead from existing designs. An image was cropped to remove the background and allow choosing a plain color. A red, black and white color scheme was used for cover lines, with red to draw attention and black contrasting with white. Additional cover lines and details like price, issue number and date were added to complete the realistic magazine cover design.
Qualitative research
This document contains a qualitative research study with responses from 3 participants about a magazine idea. The participants provided positive feedback about the decorative elements, color scheme, and masthead design. Suggestions for improvement included working more on the background, choosing a better font, and improving the layout by adjusting spacing between elements. Overall, the participants felt the creator had done an amazing job and put in a lot of hard work.
School Magazine
The document summarizes feedback received on designs for the front cover and contents page of a school magazine, and how the designs were improved based on that feedback. For the front cover, the title was easy to read but the explanatory text was difficult to read, so the text color was changed. The kicker color was also changed to stand out more. For the contents page, the kickers and title were bold and readable, and the images related well to the sections, but the text could be made more interesting; in response, the text and kickers were bent or curved instead of straight.

Evaluation of my school magazine
The document describes a school magazine the student created in Photoshop for a class project. It discusses the various design elements and tools used to create the magazine, including uploading a photo from their camera, using different fonts and colors for text, and arranging the magazine structure. If they were to redo the project, the student lists several improvements they would make, such as making the magazine more eye-catching with brighter colors, including more articles and pictures to fill space, and adding advertisements.
Q1
The media product challenges conventions by using images that do not have eye contact with the camera, unlike typical magazine covers. The front cover style with large print roses and exaggerated look also challenges conventions. Elements like the lace banner and large pull quotes filling the double page spread develop conventions in a recognizably vintage style. While some conventions like the features menu and columns are used, white space is added at the top of pages to showcase the floral background, developing conventions beyond typical music magazines. Successful conventions include columns, drop capitals, pull quotes, and inclusion of website/QR code. Areas for improvement include font choices and adding more apparent content to appeal to the target audience and institutions.

Q1
This document discusses how the author's magazine both uses, develops, and challenges conventions of real music magazines.
The author took inspiration from an NME magazine for the layout of the front cover, masthead, and cover lines. For their own magazine, the author developed the front cover by changing the color of text and having the model face a different direction.
For the contents page, the author used the NME's layout of listing subheadings down the right side but challenged it by including a smaller image. Developments included changing band index colors.
Double page spreads were modeled after Ed Sheeran magazines by including a pull quote near the image. The author developed this further by writing the magazine's name
magazine evaluation
The document describes the process of creating a magazine in Adobe Photoshop CS5.1. First, the creator made a mind map of ideas and chose to focus on films. They found a background image on Google Images and selected the Reprise Stamp font to go well with the style. The title "The Films We Love" was chosen to add an informal and happy tone. Black and red colors were used for most of the text as they complement each other and make the magazine more appealing to readers.
etejtContents page ana
The document discusses the design elements of the contents page for a Top of the Pops magazine targeted at younger readers. Key design elements included using consistent colors across issues to create brand recognition, large page numbers and structured subheadings to help readers navigate sections, and a bold masthead and casual language to attract younger readers. Images and competitions were placed prominently to grab attention, and the editor's letter addressed readers directly to develop a personal relationship and promote popular artists. The color scheme and use of white space created a simple, balanced, and professional design.
Music magazine Audience feedback
The document summarizes feedback from audience research on various elements of a magazine prototype. For the front cover, respondents liked the masthead and image but suggested adding the price. For the contents page, they enjoyed the layout, images, and charts but it could use more color and stories. Regarding the double-page spread, the image was appreciated while the layout was deemed boring; it will be improved by better integrating the text and image, adding more color, and fixing the headline placement.
Audience feedback, music magazine
The document summarizes feedback from audience research on the front cover, contents page, and double page spread of a magazine. Key points:
- The front cover image and masthead were well-liked and will remain unchanged. Price will be added as most respondents said it was important. Straplines will be expanded.
- The contents page layout and images were good but it needs more color and stories to fill the magazine. Pictures will have backgrounds added.
- The double page image and story were kept but the layout was deemed boring. More color and better image integration with text is needed. The headline cannot cross pages or it won't be readable.
Final screenshots for front cover
The document describes the process taken to design the front cover of a magazine in Photoshop. Key steps included: selecting an A4 international paper size in black; adding a faded black background; centering the masthead "Indie Vibe" in a large bold font; positioning the statement line across the width; centering a main image in medium close-up; including the main coverline in a large bold font; adding buzzwords and other text details; and including identifying details like barcode and issue number with coverlines in boxes for emphasis.
On paperline
This document proposes a platform called OnPaperLine that aims to help various groups in the publishing industry by connecting offline newspaper content to online platforms. It would allow journalists and bloggers to summarize newspaper articles for the site and get paid. Users could use the site or a mobile app to find summaries of offline newspaper content. Publishers would pay OnPaperLine fees but get advertising benefits. The goal is to help consumers access quality content, help publishers and newsagents survive, and increase income for writers while respecting content ownership.
Contents deconstruction NME
The magazine uses an unconventional masthead stating "Inside this week" instead of "Contents" to make the contents page more interesting and inform readers it's weekly. A bold font is used to draw attention to the masthead. The contents are listed with article titles in the same font for simplicity. Some articles are presented with images and captions instead of just text to make them seem more engaging. Page numbers are consistently formatted in red bold to easily locate articles of interest. An advertisement to subscribe is also eye-catchingly included in red. The layout makes the contents page more unusual and interesting than typical "boring" lists.
Evaluation question 5
The document summarizes the design choices made for a music magazine cover and contents pages. For the cover, bright colors, bold fonts, and models looking directly at the camera were used to attract attention and address the reader. A barcode and effects like drop shadows were added to appear professional. For the contents pages, the logo and large colorful titles were continued to be recognizable while unconventional layouts, images, and text were used to excite and engage readers. For the double-page spread, a dynamic main image and colorful shocker with pull quotes were intended to attract and direct readers to the written article.
Evaluation
The document provides an evaluation of a magazine cover that was created. It describes several conventions that were followed in the design, such as using a bold masthead in a contrasting color to stand out, including subtitles to explain the magazine contents, and using a small font size. It also notes one convention that was broken by using the school background instead of a plain color. The target audience of students is discussed, and how the colorful design would appeal to them more than a plain design. The cover line is also evaluated as being simple and clear about the magazine contents. The last paragraph discusses tools in Photoshop that were used to create and edit the design elements.
Question 1
This document discusses conventions used in magazine covers. It notes that magazine covers typically use 3 colors or less, have a main focal image, bold titles, and varied fonts. It examines the covers of two magazines, NME and Blender, and how they employ these conventions. For example, both have bold titles but use different colors and font styles reflecting their targeted genres. The document also discusses how its own mock magazine cover applies conventions like continuity of colors, varied sell lines around the main image, and a bold masthead to portray its music genre.

Vibe Contents Pages
The document compares the contents pages of 4 magazines. It finds that:
1) The mastheads are consistently located on the left or right side of the page and feature a prominent "V" logo to identify the magazine brand.
2) The contents are always listed down the side of the page in a column for consistency and easy reader recognition.
3) The images usually show full or mid-body shots of people to clearly show subjects and provide a nice frame for the contents.
This consistent layout creates brand recognition and a professional feel that the document recommends adopting for a new magazine.
Analysis of front cover
The student created a magazine front cover and conducted a questionnaire with 10 classmates to get feedback. Most respondents liked the magazine name and layout, while 3 people felt the writing wasn't clear enough. Based on this feedback, the student made some changes to the storylines and layout to improve clarity and better suit the target audience.

For the front cover, conventions like the masthead placement, sell lines, and imagery are both followed and challenged. The contents page includes features columns, page numbering, and images as per conventions.

Evaluation of magazine
The document summarizes the evaluation of a magazine created by the author. It discusses several key points:
- The magazine uses conventions found in real magazines such as a strap line, masthead, puffs, and central images on the cover and contents page.
- Elements like the masthead, colors, images, language, and layout are designed to attract readers and resemble popular magazines like NME.
- The magazine represents young people through the music, clothing, and topics featured.
- Potential distributors include large publishers and retail outlets that would reach the target audience.
- The intended audience is young people based on the music genre and people depicted.
Mock ups
This document contains Tayla Matthews' mockups and evaluations of magazine covers, contents pages, and spreads for a music magazine targeting a hip hop audience. The mockups are evaluated based on pros and cons. Key pros included prominent images and mastheads, and article previews. Key cons were a lack of additional images, too much blank space, and missing typical magazine details like barcodes and dates. The evaluations concluded the styles were appropriate for the genre but needed more visual interest and typical magazine conventions to seem professional. Lessons from the mockups informed the design of Tayla's final music magazine.
6. production reflection
Jack Bevens created a magazine in Photoshop about pancakes. He began by choosing an A4 page size and creating the front cover, double page spread, and contents pages. Jack added colorful rectangles, fonts, images, and used layer styles to make the magazine bright and eye-catching. He struggled at times to find font colors that were readable. After making minor adjustments recommended by his teacher, such as changing dark background colors, Jack saved his magazine as a JPEG to prepare it for printing. He believes the printed version will look clear and be easy to read based on his experience printing magazines previously.
Evaluation final3
Shannon Dew created a pop music magazine and evaluated it against real music magazines. While her magazine used bright colors and advertised artists like other magazines, it had fewer large headlines covering photos. Her magazine represented teenage pop music fans aged 12-17. Distribution companies targeting this audience, like IPC Media, would be good partners. She learned new Photoshop and Publisher skills in the process. Feedback from her target audience informed her final design choices.
Eval question1
The document compares the forms and conventions used in the magazine "Vibe" and the magazine being designed. Both magazines use large, bold mastheads and headlines. However, the new magazine's masthead is less covered by the main image so readers will be more familiar with it. It also uses different color schemes and layouts for elements like the menu, main images, and kickers to make it stand out compared to Vibe. The new magazine also includes more sections like editorials, fashion, and artist profiles to provide extra content for readers. Continuity of color schemes is used across the cover, contents page, and double page spread to make the magazine feel cohesive.

This magazine cover features a long shot image of two people that references theorists' work. While the layout has a formal vibe, the tagline reinforces that the magazine is for a specific regional audience. The contents page has the magazine's masthead repeated and provides more detail about the sections than most, with separate segments to make things easier to find. The double-page spread has an image that spans both pages with faded font over it, using a question and answer format on one side for a more formal but cool, different approach.
Question 1: In what way dose your media product use, develop or challenge for...
1) The document compares the student's media product, a retro music magazine, to the conventions used in the real music magazine Q.
2) Some key differences are that the student used a less focused, grainier image for the front cover to achieve a retro look, while Q uses a high quality color image. However, both follow conventions like placing the main image in the middle third.
3) The contents pages also follow conventions like titles in the top left, but the student added an editor's note to build rapport while Q does not.
4) The double page spreads in both magazines place a large image on one page and follow conventions like pull quotes, but the student's image is a closer
Evaluation
Fiona Taylor designed a magazine on the "POP" genre. She used inspiration from other magazines in her research. Her magazine included more colors on the front cover than typical magazines in the genre. She got feedback on her design from peers. They provided positive feedback and some suggestions, praising the color choices, images, and inclusion of website information. Overall, the task helped Fiona learn new skills in editing photos, magazine layout, and using different software programs.
Evaluation
Fiona Taylor designed a magazine inspired by other magazines in the pop genre. She used multiple colors on the front cover compared to typical pop magazines which use 2 colors max. She incorporated elements from real magazines but made most design decisions herself. The magazine targets teenage girls by including celebrity gossip. Photoshop allowed her to add text over images, add shapes, and crop images to make the magazine look professional. Bauer Media would be a good publisher as they are a large established company that publishes similar magazines.
Feedback and Evaluation
The student created a magazine cover for a school publication about starting 6th form. They received positive feedback on the use of color, realistic images, and readable fonts. Negative feedback suggested adding a selling line, making the heading and main cover line stand out more. The student made changes like adding a white selling line in the corner, giving the heading a shadow to stand out, and making the word "FRESH" larger in the main cover line. The revisions improved the professionalism and appeal of the cover based on key magazine design conventions.
Log book
Emma Davie created a music magazine called St. Paul's as part of her media studies coursework. She provided step-by-step details of creating the front cover and contents page, including adding lines, images, text, and logos. Emma used Billboard magazine as inspiration and researched its genre, target audience, and publisher. Her goal was to apply proper conventions to attract readers and follow her school's brief of including convergence elements.
7. evaluation
The document provides an evaluation of Matthew's final product magazine. Strengths included thorough research that provided ideas, using a mind map to plan content, and managing time well to complete the project on schedule. Weaknesses were a lack of variety in research sources and not putting enough detail on the mind map. Peer feedback suggested improving page borders and adding more writing detail, while Matthew agreed borders could be more colorful but disagreed more writing was needed.
Evaluation
The document summarizes how the author attracted and addressed their audience across different elements of the magazine. On the front cover, they used a striking main image, contrasting colors that made elements stand out, interesting cover lines, an affordable price, and simple layout. On the contents page, they used eye-catching advertisements, consistent colors, clear article categories, approachable language, simple layout, and engaging images and fonts. On the double page spread, they used a bold color scheme, a strong quote from the artist as the title, a large striking image, and a short, snappy introduction paragraph.
Peer Assessment
The peer feedback provided suggestions to improve the magazine cover drafts:
1. Use a close-up portrait to show emotion and make eye contact with the audience. Include a visible price and use different font styles creatively.
2. Show more work leading up to the cover design. The pictures lack professionalism and the magazine looks empty without a color scheme. Make the masthead bigger and try a different font.
3. The blog research and draft ideas were good but the cover seems bland without more effects on the writing or an enlarged barcode and distinct price and date.
4. The blog research quality was high but the cover is lacking a date, title, price and headline to make it
Mock up feed back
The document provides feedback on a mock magazine cover, contents page, and double page spread. Key points include:
1) The cover alignment is off, the barcode is too big, and the model's top is distracting. Fonts and layouts are inconsistent between pages.
2) Photos are low quality or don't represent the genre. Too much white space makes pages look empty.
3) Based on the feedback, the creator will change the magazine genre to "chart" for more flexibility. They will use a black background for sophistication and completely redesign the contents page layout.
3. fmp research powerpoint
The document provides an analysis of existing magazine products that will influence the design of the author's own magazine. It summarizes several Japanese car magazines from the 1990s/2000s. The magazines displayed loud colors, bold fonts, and main images that stood out against colorful backgrounds. Analysis found the titles needed to be eye-catching. Future work will focus on a retro style with attention-grabbing covers that make the main image and text pop. Audience research found the target is males aged 15-18 interested in cars and fashion. The product will include bright visuals and some informative articles.
