This document summarizes the creator's process for designing the front cover of a music magazine. It describes using two contrasting images of the featured artist to reflect the changing genre discussed in the interview article. While unusual to feature two solo artist images, the designer felt it fit well. Inspiration was drawn from magazine covers of Katherine Jenkins and Billboard but adapted to include additional elements. The final cover was deemed conventional in layout and colors while still challenging conventions slightly with the dual artist images.

Question 1
The document summarizes the ways in which the student's media product uses and develops conventions of real music magazines. The front cover includes a masthead, central image, and cover lines like Q magazine. Inside pages feature a masthead, kicker, and images adapted from magazines like Q, Vibe, and Mixmag. A double page spread places an image on the left page and uses text in an conversational interview style like seen in Q and Nylon magazines.

2. idea development z ine
This document outlines plans for creating a zine about folk punk music. It includes mood boards showing appropriate fonts, colors, album covers and posters for inspiration. The document discusses including hand-drawn images, photos edited to look old, and cutouts from magazines to achieve a DIY aesthetic. A production schedule is provided, allocating one week each for writing text, drawing images, and assembling the zine. Pages will feature articles on record labels and albums, advertisements, and discussions of the music's philosophy. The cover will incorporate the folk punk symbol and band logos.
Photos
The document discusses photos taken by Beth Cox for use in a music magazine. For the front cover, she chose the first image as it shows direct eye contact. For the contents page, she selected the second photo as it has a less serious tone. The first photo of the double page spread was chosen as the model looks directly at the audience in a medium close up shot. Some photos will also be used as smaller images on the contents page to give readers a sneak peek behind the scenes.
shot planning
This document discusses the planning and selection of images for a music magazine. It describes three photos considered for the cover: 1) an artist not facing the camera, deemed unsuitable; 2) two artists with blank expressions, difficult to layout; 3) a single artist facing the camera fitting conventions. It also mentions an image used for a double page spread and contents page of a guitar against a white backdrop, chosen for its simplicity.
Photos
Beth Cox took several photos for use in her music magazine, including a front cover shot of direct eye contact, a contents page photo with a less serious model pose, and a double page spread shot in medium close up. She also selected smaller images for the contents page to give readers a behind-the-scenes look and showcase articles about musicians collaborating.
Evaluation
Mia Harrison's magazine takes inspiration from existing indie magazines and artists to develop its conventions. The brick wall background on the cover is meant to look natural, inspired by Billboard magazine. The font and masthead positioning are developed from Vogue. The masthead placement at the bottom of the cover comes from 'Carmen' magazine. On the contents page, a banner and yellow color establish the house style, and a natural background image is used inspired by another magazine. A double page spread uses darker colors behind text inspired by a contents page and centers the main image at the bottom left. The magazine represents older indie artists through a double page profile of a 1990s band member and their family/former bandmates.
Question one evaluation
This document discusses the design choices made for the cover and contents pages of a magazine called "The Wreck". The cover features the title in a distressed font meant to look like it was hit by a car, using effects like drop shadows and glows. Inspiration was drawn from 1990s rap magazines in terms of color scheme and conventions. For the contents page, the layout of The Source magazine was followed. An article page design is also discussed, combining elements from The Source and The Shortlist magazines. One convention of having the artist look at the camera was intentionally broken for an engaging cover photo.

The article includes a large headline using a sans-serif font to draw readers in, a pull quote highlighting Brad's claim to be "king of rock" despite facing setbacks, and a Q&A format interview to learn more about Brad overcoming obstacles.

Phhotoshoot analysis
The document discusses photos from a model shoot for a magazine. The author analyzes several photos and evaluates them for different uses:
1) Image one is selected as the best for the cover due to Kyle's pose, expressionless face, and how he fades into the shadows, making for an effective image.
2) A two-shot of Kyle and Kieran is deemed unprofessional due to one model being out of focus and the poor composition, lighting and angles.
3) Another two-shot of Kyle is passed over because too much background is visible and the other model is out of focus, dimly lit and looks amateurish.
4) An image of Kieran playing

The magazine cover featured the actors as their ordinary selves rather than in character, challenging the convention of depicting actors in costume. However, layout elements like headlines and images were conventionally designed.
In both works, the creator was inspired by existing real movie marketing but made some unconventional choices to develop new interpretations while still using standard forms.

Evaluationq1
- 2. This is the Final Draft for my front cover. I based it on a cover which I seen featuring Katherine Jenkins. I liked the idea of having two contrasting images of my artist as I felt it fitted in well with my Interview. I think the image works well as it shows two contrasting characters of my artist which is reflected in my article as she is changing her genre of music. However it does challenge conventions as it is usually one image of a solo artist on music magazines.
- 3. This is the magazine which gave me the inspiration for my Front Cover image. I didn’t follow the design of this Front cover however as I wanted to include sell lines and a pug. I felt that my cover would be too bland without them.
- 4. I followed some of Billboard designs for my front cover. I tried to create a similar design whilst using Q’s colour patterns
- 5. Overall I feel my Front Cover has fitted in with the conventional magazines already on the market. I feel it has a conventional layout as well as conventional colours. However, it does slightly challenge conventional magazines as it has two pictures of the same artist rather than just one. But overall I feel it works well with the interview I created for my article.
