For the preliminary task, images were unedited, text wasn't appealing, and it didn't resemble a magazine. However, for the final production, images were enhanced, font was clearer, and it resembled an actual music magazine. Researching codes and conventions was helpful for guiding the final production.

This document summarizes the learning and progression from a preliminary music magazine task to the final production. The author notes they have improved skills in photography, text design, and using Photoshop effectively. For the final production, images were enhanced to look like a professional magazine, font was clearer, and elements were carefully positioned. Researching codes and conventions before production helped make the final magazine resemble actual music magazines, unlike the preliminary version. The front cover and spreads now have a continuous house style linking the artist to make it seem more professional.
Evaluation (Q7)
The document discusses the progression of a magazine project from preliminary tasks to the final product. It summarizes that research, drafting, and skills with programs like Photoshop and InDesign improved the representation of the target audience and made the design more professional.

My Media Presentation
This document is a student's portfolio submission for a media studies project where they created a magazine for their college. It includes summaries of their magazine concept, the process of designing the magazine in Photoshop and InDesign, reflections on feedback received, and re-drafted versions of the cover page, contents page, and double-page spread based on that feedback. The student aimed to target both younger and older students at their college with their magazine design. They learned skills in Photoshop like using layers and editing images. Feedback suggested making the contents page and cover lines more engaging. The re-drafted versions included modifications like improved images, tasters to draw readers in, and more relevant contents.
Question 7 evaluation media
The student has improved their skills in Photoshop by practicing tools like the polygonal lasso, crop tool, and blending options to make their music magazine more professional. This allowed them to produce a more realistic magazine that would appeal to their target audience. Their preliminary magazine did not follow conventions like proper page layout, relevant images, and consistent fonts and colors. In contrast, their final magazine used higher quality images representing the genre, spread out page numbers to look like more content, and kept consistent fonts and colors fitting for a hip hop magazine. Through this project, the student learned new software skills and the importance of planning and research to produce a high quality magazine aligned with its target genre.
Evaluation of media product
The document describes the creation of a music magazine media product. It discusses analyzing real music magazines like NME and Vibe for conventions to include. The product includes a masthead, title, cover photo, and uses colors like red, black, grey and yellow throughout for consistency. The front cover photo could have been improved by capturing more of the artist's shadow to look less photoshopped. The document discusses representing a social group of young people aged 16-25 by including a bold photo and title to attract attention. The product would be distributed by Bauer magazines and target a similar audience to the artists featured. Color, font, and font size choices are described as ways to attract and address the intended audience. The process taught
Question 7
This document summarizes the progression of a student's magazine project from an initial school assignment to the final piece. For the initial school magazine task, the student created a basic draft to experiment with layouts and colors. However, the first draft lacked professional quality. For the final magazine cover, the student improved upon the initial design by using a background image and minimizing colors to create a cleaner look. The contents page was also improved by making the design and formatting more consistent and professional looking overall.
Evaluation 7
The document summarizes the key things the author learned in creating magazine front covers for a school magazine and music magazine. For the music magazine, the author used feedback from multiple drafts to improve the design. Some lessons learned were to make the masthead eye-catching, use color to draw attention to important text, stick to a limited color scheme, and include relevant content for the target audience. The author changed conventions like using a livelier font and darker, less conventional image for the music magazine that better suited the indie rock genre and younger audience.
Evaluation Q7
The student learned many skills from the preliminary task to the final project. In the preliminary work, the front cover lacked conventions like limited colors and was not eye-catching. The contents page also lacked images and style. However, in the final work conventions were applied. The front cover used Photoshop skills to make the hair and cover lines more realistic. The contents page included multiple images and a website link. The double page spread used conventions like a floating quote and large artist image. Overall, the student improved Photoshop skills, learned to apply conventions, and better communicated with the target audience.
Progresssion presentation
The document compares the author's preliminary magazine task to their final product. In the preliminary task, the author lacked knowledge of typical magazine conventions. However, through research, the author learned about stereotypical conventions and incorporated them into their final product. This included using more conventional photography, layout, fonts, colors, and addressing the intended audience appropriately. As a result, the final magazine cover and contents page better represented the target demographic and included many elements that would appeal to readers.

Evaluation question 1
The document discusses various design elements of a magazine including the masthead, cover lines, main image, skyline, pull quote, and feature article page. For most elements, the author tried to follow conventions seen in other magazines of the same genre while also making the elements eye-catching. The masthead is longer than typical but stands out visually. Cover lines and pull quotes are brief to engage readers. Images are placed to maximize space while telling the reader about the artist. Columns and color schemes conform to conventions seen in other hip hop magazines.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

Evaluation question 7
- 1. The masthead for my preliminary task was fairly basic and didn’t show much colour coordination or intuition towards the magazines theme. It was bold and stood out fairly well but the masthead for my final production task is much more interesting and innovative as you can see that my subject overlaps the masthead which is a technique used by current and modern Hip hop magazines making the final production seem more current and modern. Final production task Preliminary task The colour font used on the preliminary task was fairly basic and lacked conviction meaning it wasn’t particularly appealing or interesting to look at which could possibly lose readers’ interest. For my preliminary task, all my cover lines were positioned on one side of the page being on the left meaning not much variety and poor placement whereas on my final production task I’ve carefully positioned them accordingly and more similar to something you’d see on a professional publication I’d also comment that my original preliminary task lacked some colour and Photoshop editing. In my final production task I edited and manipulated my images so that they correspond with my audience and music genre creating a big difference between my final production and preliminary task
