This document compares the media student's magazine layout and conventions to real magazines. [1] The student used a background image on the cover instead of just images, included different fonts and placed elements like the masthead and cover lines differently. [2] For articles, the student split text using bold and italics, included quotes and notes to break up pages similarly to real magazines. [3] By maintaining a consistent color scheme and fonts throughout, the student aimed to establish a clear "house style" to make the magazine look professionally designed.

Evaluation qu 1
The document compares the layout and design conventions used in the student's media product, a magazine, to real magazines.
Some key differences noted include using a background image on the cover rather than just images, listing page contents down the side rather than with quotes, and offering subscription deals to encourage repeat purchases.
The student also discusses using consistent fonts, colors, and layouts throughout the magazine to establish a clear "house style" and make the product feel professionally designed and not like something a child made.
Evaluation 7
The document discusses the learning and improvements the author made from their preliminary magazine task to the full magazine product. Some key areas of improvement included using less exaggerated design elements, incorporating genre-appropriate props in images, limiting colors and fonts used, and increased research into magazine conventions. Planning and justifying design decisions also improved. While happy with overall results, the author notes they would spend more time on contents page design, research fonts and language techniques for headings if doing the task again.
Media presentation
This document summarizes how the media product uses and develops conventions of real magazines. It discusses using a pink and black color scheme on the masthead to make it eye-catching. Professional photos were taken in a studio to look like real magazines. Techniques like pull quotes and cover lines were used to engage readers. A consistent sans-serif font and house style made the magazine look professional. The double page spread followed conventions like taking up a full page with a photo and columns of text. The images, layout, and techniques develop magazine conventions to create a realistic looking media product.

The document summarizes how the author attracted their audience to their music magazine. They did several things:
1) They put a famous rapper on the front cover based on audience survey feedback that famous artists are most attractive.
2) They used an attention-grabbing masthead font and color placement.
3) They included a promotional free gift offer in the top corner, which research showed would encourage 50% of people to buy.
4) Images, costumes, and poses on the front cover and inside helped communicate the rap genre.
5) Language in interviews struck a balance of formal and informal to engage younger audiences but maintain professionalism. Pullout quotes were also used to grab attention
Evaluation 1 for media
The document discusses the language and design conventions used in the student's media magazine project on clubbing culture. For the masthead, the student chose the word "Rave" to match the target audience's interests while analyzing conventions from other music magazines. Font choices and layouts were selected to be bold, colorful and eye-catching based on analyzing examples from Mixmag magazine. Photoshoots used props like neon makeup and lighting to represent the club atmosphere. Typography and language for the cover, contents page and double-page spread followed conventions of being short, catchy and informal to engage the young adult audience. Conventions were both adhered to and developed based on in-depth analysis of comparable magazines.
Evaluation of front cover
The document discusses the design choices made for the masthead, cover photo, and features of a magazine. For the masthead, the author chose a traditional block font and included the categories "Music |Fashion |Film" to target women. The cover photo depicts a model doing an action rather than posing, and was edited to black and white to work with the simple font colors. Color and font choices were made for the features to draw attention to the artist as the main focus, with testing of different colors like red and settling on purple as a complement.

This document discusses the use of fonts, colors, mastheads, and images in magazines to develop or challenge conventions of real media products.
It describes choosing the Calibri font for its readability and simplicity. Burgundy, black, and white colors were used consistently, with some gold added to the double page spread.
The masthead "VOLUME" was chosen to reference music and R&B genres. It is located at the top in a bold sans-serif font, following conventions. Images on the front cover dress a male model in black clothes to reflect R&B style. Folded hands convey confidence. Conventions from magazines like Vibe and Billboard were both followed and developed upon in the design choices
Evaluation of front cover
The document describes the design choices made for the masthead, cover photo, and features of a magazine. For the masthead, the author chose a traditional block font at the top to aim the magazine at women. The cover photo depicts a model doing something rather than just sitting/standing, and was edited to black and white. Color was used sparingly on the cover - purple rather than red - to not detract from other aspects. Fonts and colors were chosen to make the artist name and cover line stand out to readers.

The document provides an evaluation of Alice Bates' media magazine project. It summarizes the key decisions made in designing the magazine, including opting for a minimalist style with white space over a "top of the pops" style. It describes experimenting with different fonts and layouts for the front cover and contents page before settling on designs inspired by other magazines but with her own twist. The double page spread design was also influenced by another magazine but uses a single background image instead of columns. The magazine aims to represent young women interested in music in an empowering way rather than focusing on sexuality.

- 2. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
- 3. This is one of the magazines from my planning, when I compare mine to this to mine I can see similarities in the lay out. Selling Line - Selling line, This is something a magazine uses to ‘sell’ the magazine. Something they think the reader needs to know and that will make them want to buy there magazine. But on theirs they have put the selling line in a box where as I have haven’t. The Main Image - I’ve used a main image, but instead I have a background and they just have grey. It think that the background makes it look more interesting and I like the way there not just look stood there, I think that this meets the target of young girls because they look like there having fun. Cover Lines - For my cover lines I have written the main bit in larger writing and a bit about it in smaller writing. Where as ‘The Source’ Has used colour instead, white and red. Masthead – For the Masthead I used a ‘girlier’ font seeing as my magazine is for girls. Also instead of having the title in the middle its to the left of the page. Also there is nothing covering it. I have also placed it just below the selling line. Font – For ‘the source’ their magazine uses only one different font, and to differentiate things they use the two colours black and whit where as I have used 3 different fonts, two I found on the internet and one from the photoshops font collection.
- 4. This week in … I used that line because it think it looked really go and introduced the magazine really well and you will always be able to use it in every issue. Photographs – I have used photographs to represent what is going to be on those pages like they have done on the ok magazine, with my first copy of my magazine I used images off the internet, I think that this looked better; but I had to change them and take some of my own. Listing the pages – Instead of listing all the pages and having little quotes under them like the ‘OK!’ magazine I listed mine down the side, under headlines of what category they are in. Subscription – I got this idea from another magazine, to get people interested and continue buying the magazine I think you have to offer them special offers so that they think they are getting a good deal. This means they are more likely to subscribe, which means that the customer doesn’t just buy one every so often, they keep having them. Colours – I have tried using the same colours all the way through the magazine, different shades of pink, this is part of the house style. Font – I have also tried to keep to the same fonts throughout the magazine, this is also part of the house style. I kept the same font for the ‘this week in creampuff’ as I did for the title of the magazine on the front cover. I have also tried to use the same fonts for the category headings.
- 5. The Interview – For the interview I split the writing up, I used the bold italics tool on the introduction which split that from the rest of the interview. I used a pink font for the question and black for the answers, I did this so that you could see the difference and so that it split the page up. I also highlighted the names of the band with the bold tool so that you could see that clearly. For the ending paragraph I highlighted it in bold and basically concluded the interview and gave information on where to go to see and hear more about the band I was interviewing. The title of the interview – I tried to do this similar to the other magazine because I thought it looked good, but instead I made it look more girly by using pink and white. Other things on the page – I used a post it note and put the names of the band on, I mostly did this to fill the page up more and make it look more interesting, I also used the ides of ‘LOVE THIS’ because it made the page look more interesting. The Quotes – I used more quotes than the other magazine, I did this because it breaks up the page more. Colours – I have kept using these pinks because I think that it fits into the house style, also it looks a lot more interesting than just plain black and white. I think by using a house style I have not made the magazine look a 5 year old made it.
