Conclusion q7
The document describes the development of a magazine cover the author created for a class project to familiarize themselves with Photoshop and Mac computers. The initial cover did not follow magazine conventions for layout and design. After learning about typical magazine formats, the author reworked the cover to include elements like placing the masthead at the top of the page and centering the cover image, model, and headline text. The revised contents page and inside pages also added typical magazine sections like an editor's letter, endorsements, and a subscription form.
Production experiments
Ellie Jones created an experimental fashion magazine mock cover and double page spread. For the cover, she used bright pastel colors and thought the placement of text and font worked well, though found the model's face was too bright. She liked how her masthead design faded colors together unexpectedly. For the double page, she placed image on one page and text on the other to introduce the cover model. She thought the wrapped text, large starting letters, and font choices made the page aesthetically pleasing and easy to read. Ellie planned to take aspects like color schemes, fonts and text designs from this experiment but make her final magazine look different overall.
Louisa Media As Production
The document summarizes the development of a magazine created by the author. It includes sections on the cover, contents, audience, and a sample double page interview. The magazine does not target a specific social group. The author is most proud of the cover design but found creating the contents page difficult. The intended audience is younger readers who the author feels are underserved. The double page interview follows a typical structure but uses fictionalized band members. Overall, the author is pleased with the outcome but would do more research in the future given their lack of experience in this genre.
Media question 1
The document describes the development of a student's school magazine media product from an initial basic prototype created in Photoshop to a more advanced final version.

Final Evaluation 7 power point
James has learned a lot in progressing from his preliminary task to his full magazine product. He has improved his use of mise-en-scene in shots by considering wardrobe choices and genre. He has also learned how to use lighting better to avoid shadows and focus on his subject. James has incorporated more variety in poses and styles to keep readers interested. He has paid closer attention to layout, fonts, text size and placement to make his magazine more visually appealing and reader-friendly. Overall, James feels the differences between his preliminary task and final magazine show how much he has grown in skills like photography, styling and magazine design.

- Potentially adding small star shapes in Photoshop for visual interest
- Writing the main text in standard English but using slang, punctuation, and numbers for letters in places to relate to the target audience
- Selecting a first image for the cover and three others for inside content spreads, feeling they achieve the sophisticated yet professional look desired
My Front Cover Draft Powerpoint
- The document describes the process of creating a magazine cover draft.
- Key elements included adding a photo, creating a masthead called "Slick" using the dominant purple color, and adding cover lines like "Ghetto Ragdolls: Their Story 'Rise to Fame'" in the Capture It font.

They conducted research that found black to be the most popular color choice for magazines. Throughout the magazine, they used purple and white text on a black background to maintain a consistent color theme. The layout and design elements, such as the placement of images, text formatting, and use of different font sizes, were inspired by and similar to the example 'Vibe' magazine pages.

For each page, she creates multiple draft layouts, considering elements like positioning of images and text, use of color schemes, and how to effectively display content. Her favorite cover designs involve creatively placing the magazine title behind the model. For contents, she prefers a layout with the image filling the page and title at the top. Her top double-page idea features edited images flowing across both pages with columns of text on one side.

7. evaluation
The document discusses the evaluation of a magazine project. It covers the strengths and weaknesses of the student's research, planning, and time management. It also discusses the technical qualities, aesthetic qualities, and audience appeal of the magazine design. The student believes their research helped them choose the best magazine style but notes information was not as easy to find as expected. Their planning focused on one style rather than exploring variety. They managed time well but got distracted easily. Technical qualities differ from examples in images used and layout. The background design is identified as an area for improvement. Audience feedback was positive but the student sees room for enhanced visual design.
Evaluationnnnn
The document discusses how the author's magazine both conforms to and challenges conventions of magazine design. It conforms by including standard features like a masthead, cover lines, and contents page with page numbers. However, it challenges conventions by using the unconventional color orange and a script font for the editor's note. The author analyzed design elements from other magazines to develop their magazine's visual style. A survey found the magazine was viewed as fun and colorful by readers mainly ages 17-20 who also read magazines like Vogue. Respondents favored the double-page spread design most.
Product construction
The document describes the process of designing the front cover, contents page, and a double page spread for a magazine. For the front cover, the designer chose pink, blue, and silver colors and created a masthead with the magazine name. For the contents page, boxes and images were laid out and text was added. For the double page spread, two A4 pages with columns were set up along with images on one page and a festive heading and article text on the other.
Media evaluation 1
The document discusses how the author's media product for a magazine cover and contents page both uses and challenges conventions of real pop magazines.
For the cover, conventions like using bright colors, including free posters and a burst were followed, while challenging norms by having a male image as the main picture.
The contents page layout similarly mirrored Top of the Pops with a small cover picture, section boxes and pull-out photos. However, no major conventions were broken.
The double page spread took inspiration from another magazine but challenged conventions by including three model photos instead of one and tilting the pull quote for more visual interest.

Regarding technical and aesthetic qualities, Oliver aimed to achieve a fantasy style and used techniques like cutouts and reflections to create depth and realism. He believed the magazine would appeal to his target audience of 16+ males interested in fashion through its serious tone and focus on high-end brands.
Magazine design evaluation

7. evaluation
The document provides an evaluation by Aasiyah Chopdat of her research, planning, time management, technical qualities, aesthetic qualities, and audience appeal for her magazine project. Some key points made include: her research lacked analysis of double page spreads which caused issues in layout; planning went smoothly but more attention to fonts was needed; photos were taken last minute without enough editing time; the magazine cover could have been improved with the model centered and use of cover lines; double page spreads and pull quotes may have been better designed; and the target audience of 16-25 year olds was effectively appealed to through creative, colorful design and relevant content.
As media studies evaluation
The document discusses how the student's media product of a music magazine uses and develops conventions of real music magazines. It analyzes the forms and conventions of magazines like Top of the Pops and Vibe to layout the design and style. Key elements like the masthead, cover lines, barcode, images and contents page were researched and implemented following industry standards to make the magazine realistic. The double page spread uses techniques like bold titles, transparent images, and columns to break up the text and draw attention.
Q1
The document discusses the design choices made for a student-created magazine. It describes placing the title in the top left corner as most magazines do. An attention-grabbing font was used for the title. The front cover image depicts a rapper holding a microphone to emphasize their musical career. Color scheme, coverlines, and other design elements were chosen based on research of popular rap magazines. For the contents page, the student followed some conventions but also made some changes, such as including more images than typical. The double-page spread uses conventions like a drop cap but also makes unique design choices like placing the artist's initial behind the text.
Evaluation1
The document summarizes how the author's media product uses, develops, and challenges conventions of real media products.
Some key points:
- The magazine cover features a masthead in the center rather than the corner, and uses color to match the cover image. A skyline promotes artists rather than offers. There are no sell lines to keep it minimal.
- The contents page separates sections rather than using an 'L' format. It features the cover artist's image twice and uses the same colors as the cover.
- The double-page article saves space by featuring the pull quote along the side. It uses two columns rather than three and positions the page number, artist name, and image to draw
7. evaluation
Adam Lepard evaluated his magazine project. For research, he looked at similar magazines like Empire to see their designs and appeal. He found researching horror magazines difficult since few focus solely on horror. When planning layouts, he created a color scheme of red, yellow, and black inspired by horror movie posters. His main weakness was difficulty generating article ideas for his mind maps. He improved his time management by setting deadlines. His magazine designs differed from typical magazines in using a close-up screaming image on the cover and his own personal review style. He focused on appealing to horror film fans but did not target a specific age or gender.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Evidence
- 1. Evidence is something I could improve on, I forgot many times to screen grab, however there wasn’t really much on my double page spread I could of screen grabbed, I already pre wrote my article, therefore I just copied it in, I tried to take a quote out of the article as seen in several magazines however I don’t think it looks to the best that it could have.
- 2. This is my magazine name which I took the idea from the magazines I researched to place the title behind the models heads.. I also took the idea of the stars from top of the pops.. This is one of my sell lines. I used the big text and bold colours to make sure it stood out as I didn’t want to over crowd my page due to the fact when I did my primary research the overall comments were that the front covers of the magazine I showed was over crowded.
- 3. This is just an additional sell line linked to the main sell line! I also got this from top of the pops magazine. I got this idea from the magazine I modelled my magazine off, things the magazine promise to do. I decided to only do 3 things as there wasn’t that much space for more. This is the title for the contents page, I took this from the magazine I researched to, I used two different fonts and three colours to make sure the text stood out to the audience.
- 4. This took absolutely ages to make, I had to make each line individually, I took this from a magazine I looked at, I liked the way it made the pictures stand out however to make it even more In your face I made a boarder around the photos to.
