Evaluation question 1
The document provides guidance on designing elements of a magazine page layout, including the cover, contents page, and feature article pages. It recommends that the cover should have a bold masthead, slogan, main story details, model photo, and barcode/pricing. The contents page should list section names and page numbers in a structured multi-column format. Feature articles should have a large headline and photo, along with substantial text in a style consistent with the rest of the magazine. The document also notes how some conventions could be challenged in the design.
Draft pages what needs to be improved
The document provides feedback on how to improve various pages of a draft magazine, including:
1) The front cover could stand out more by adding color to the main image and removing some compacted content to allow more spacing.
2) The contents page needs to be more formal with columns and some images/content could be replaced or modified for better readability.
3) The double-page spread has too much jumbled text and could be improved by rearranging images and text onto separate pages, changing the title to follow a consistent theme, and incorporating more of the color scheme and design elements from other pages.
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.

For each part of the media product, it explains design choices made that follow magazine conventions, such as including a masthead, plug, barcode/price, and three substories on the cover. It also discusses some unconventional elements, like adding social media links to the contents page and including a skyline on the cover. Overall, the document shows an understanding of typical magazine formats and how the media product both replicates and innovates upon real magazine conventions in its design.
In what ways does your media product challenges
The document summarizes how the author's media product challenges conventions of a real magazine in both similar and different ways. Some similarities include a traditional magazine layout with a cover image and masthead. The content pages also follow typical magazine formatting. However, some differences are using the puff placement over the cover image rather than in the corner, including contact details in the banner, and placing smaller blurred images on the double page spread. The author aimed to keep some house style similarities while also adding some unique design elements.

It then explains how the product uses continuity between the front cover, contents page, and article spread by using the same fonts, color scheme, and repeated elements. Specific conventions from magazines like NME and Q are adopted, such as placements of the plug, feature stories list, and main image. The goal is to make the magazine look traditional and conventional while incorporating some original elements.
Evaluation!!!
The document provides an evaluation of a school magazine cover and contents page created by the author.
The cover and contents page both follow some conventions of real magazines but also challenge some conventions. The cover uses images, cover lines, and colors but the text is too large. The contents page has columns and page numbers but the font is too large and text overlaps images.
The author used a digital camera, Photoshop, and Quark to create the magazine pages. Photoshop was familiar while Quark took more time to learn. Overall, the pieces resemble real magazines but could be improved with better text size, layouts, and matching the cover style on the contents page.

The document discusses font and image choices for the front cover, content page, and double page spread of a fashion magazine called Runway.
For the front cover, a light pink font will be used for the masthead against a darker background. Images of a model with pink hair in a relaxed pose will dominate the center, with supporting fonts in varying sizes around the edges.
The content page will feature larger images on one side and page numbers/titles in different fonts and colors. A double page spread will center around a full-length relaxed image of the model in casual clothes, accompanied by columns of text in Times New Roman and a larger title incorporating the magazine's pink branding color.
Question 1
This document summarizes how the media product uses and develops conventions of real music magazines.
The masthead, cover image, headline, and cover lines follow conventions by using attention-grabbing fonts and colors. However, the headline is not centered. The contents page uses a neat column layout and continues the theme's fonts and colors.
The article headline stands out against the text with a different color and font. A pull quote and body text in an easy-to-read font also follow conventions. While the article image is atypical by not matching the cover, additional images provide context and make the star seem accessible. Small details like an Instagram screenshot further develop realism.

Evaluation question 1
- 1. Question 1
- 2. Bright and colourful with a bold, full layout to catch peoples eyes. Show the house style of the magazine. Has a distinct masthead as the title block which is bold and eye-catching. Have a slogan next to the masthead. Use the same font throughout. Show the main story. Have an image of the model, who will be involved in the main story which is also displayed in font. Barcode, date and price.
- 3. • My masthead is big and bold. It is right at the top of the page so that it will stand out and be easily seen on the shelf in a shop. I have placed my image of my model in front of the masthead to make this image stand out. This also follows the conventions of higher priced magazines by making it look more professional, so I used this to give it a bit more sophistication. • Added a slogan at the top above the masthead to catch the eye. • I placed stories that will be featured in the magazine all around the model in the image so that they can stand out and make it look full, interesting the audience and advertising the content. All of the stories use band names and interests that go with the indie genre. • Used the same font over the whole page and other pages of the magazine so that it would look more sophisticated. • The main story is in large font and in the middle. • The model is looking at the camera and therefore the reader, whilst wearing clothes that represent the genre. She is the main story. • There is a barcode with the date and price next to it at the bottom of the page. • I used this front cover of mixmag for inspiration of my front cover image and the layout of my cover to ensure it followed the conventions. • Generally, my front cover follows the conventions rather than challenging them.
- 4. Has the logo or title of the magazine on. Bold, prominent with main stories standing out more than others. Full Keeps with house style Same font More than one image References page numbers of all the pages in the magazine. Layout – margins, usually 3 or more columns. Structured. Divided into sections.
- 5. • I used three columns for my margin on the InDesign layout. I used this as a general template for my contents layout. However, I challenged this a little because I made the photos fit together without space in between, crossing the boundaries of the margins. I also made the ‘features’ a bit wider than the ‘exclusive’ and the image for page 22. • Put the date, title and ‘contents’ at the top which follows conventions. Put page number and issue date at the bottom. Also added the website at the bottom so the audience could use the magazine in a variety of ways, also giving the company more promotion. • Keeps with the white, black and red house style. Originally had a black background with white text, but changed this so the background would be the same colour as the rest of the pages. • Same font and made sure it was a full page with lots to look at, however not too full so it still looks sophisticated. • I referenced the page numbers on each of the contents titles or pictures. • This all mostly complies to the typical contents page conventions. • I used this page from mixmag to inspire my contents page. I changed it quite a lot by adding more pictures and editing the general layout, but used it for ideas of the numbers on my images and the top and bottom of the page.
- 6. A large image Full Lots of text, usually an interview Colourful A big quote Same font and house style as rest of magazine Equal margins with about 2 or 3 columns Standing out headline
- 7. • Therefore, I made the underlines of the title bold so it would stand out and not look too empty, also the reasoning for adding in the ‘new and upcoming’. • I made the interview long but not fill the whole page, with small writing. • I played around with the margins, making the ones with text bigger than the ones without to make it look more weighted. • For my double page, although I kept some conventions I also challenged a lot of them. • I made sure to have the same font as the rest of the magazine, again with a white background and black font with margins, a bold outstanding title and keeping the website, issue date and page number. • However, I made it all black and white and left quite a few gaps, challenging some conventions. I did this to make it more sophisticated and keep with the indie genre and idea that the audience prefer the information than pictures. • I took inspiration from the image below.
