The document discusses changes made to magazine layout plans. The masthead was moved to the top to allow for easier image layering. Story text was scattered around and wrapped models to highlight the main image without crowding. Small changes were made but generic conventions were kept. The contents page was difficult to spread across pages so a single page was used, removing some content but adding an editor's column as seen in music magazines. Three students' double page layout designs are then listed.

Steps for front page
This document describes the process the author took to come up with the final front cover design. They took their favorite draft design and made slight alterations. Pictures were added behind some text to grab interest, and the images were resized and cropped slightly. One title was removed to create a neater final image with the main focus on the side.
Steps for front page
This document describes how the author came up with the final design for a front cover piece. They took their favorite draft design and altered it slightly, then added pictures behind some text and moved elements around. After realizing the photo was being covered, the author resized and cropped the photo to shift the focus to the side and removed a title to create a neater final image.
Question 7
The document discusses lessons learned from a preliminary task to the full product. It notes improved use of strokes, effects, backgrounds, fonts, spacing, layering, quotes, colors, flashers, information, images, and layout structure to make the final product more professional, visually appealing, and relevant for the target audience. Key techniques included drop shadows, plain backgrounds, colored patterns, and layering to make certain elements stand out effectively.
Cover screenshots
The document summarizes the steps taken to design the cover of a magazine in Adobe Photoshop. Key steps included: opening an image in Photoshop and cutting out the required area for the cover; adding the masthead and cover lines using text tools; adding a gradient background and positioning statements; and completing the design by adding additional images and text elements and adjusting fonts and layout. The process involved iterative changes to refine the overall design.
Experiments- Practice Mag
Jodie Wood experimented with layouts for the front cover and double page spread of her magazine. For the cover, she used a model photo with the title below her head. She kept the same Helvetica font style throughout. For her double page spread experiment, she positioned photos and text in a layout inspired by Vogue. She added borders and drawings over the images. In her reflection, Jodie notes she will keep the cover style, layout, and model pose for her final product. For the double page spread, she will also keep the drawn over images and text placement, using a similar photo layout with a main focal photo.
Crap present full
The document discusses the CRAP principles of design: Contrast, Repetition, Alignment, and Proximity. It provides examples and explanations of each principle. Contrast involves making different elements visually distinct. Repetition means using consistent formatting to unite a design. Alignment refers to positioning elements in a way that guides the eye through the design. Proximity groups related elements close together visually. The principles are intended to help non-designers create effective visual designs.
Progression from first draft to final draft
The document summarizes the progression from the first draft to the final front cover design of a magazine. It describes removing and adjusting various graphic elements like the main image, graphic feature, coverline text, and lines. It increases the size of the masthead pattern and image to make them clearer. The final product section then describes further changes like replacing the main image with a higher quality photo of a model that better fits the genre, adjusting the brightness and adding white boxes under the text to improve readability.

Editing of double page spread
The document discusses a group selecting images and experimenting with layout designs for a double page spread. They added example text and page numbers to help visualize image placement. With text in columns, they placed preferred images and experimented with formatting quotes centrally within the article, following conventions of most double page spreads. Their final spread placed all quotes between the article text.
House style
The document discusses selecting a title and design for a new music magazine. Several potential titles like "Pulse", "Strike", and "Impulse" were considered but ultimately rejected for various reasons. "Unison" was preferred by questionnaire respondents and chosen as the title. For the font, the magazine team selected "Hotel CORAL Essex" which fits their theme of being bold and edgy. Their cover layout places the title on the right instead of left for a unique look. The contents page will be a double-page spread with scattered images and information to maintain an edgy, rough theme.
Flatplans of all 3 pages
Theresa Kuhn outlines her process for planning the layout of three pages for her indie magazine: the cover, contents page, and a double-page spread. 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.
Evaluation question 1
The document summarizes how the author's media product uses and develops conventions of real music magazines in its design. Specifically:
- The front cover design is based on Fantastic Man magazine but develops conventions by using a border around the central image and positioning text creatively.
- The contents page draws inspiration from layouts in The FADER and Esquire magazines, adopting designs like a rotated "Contents" text but developing it with more information.
- Throughout, the author aims for consistency in fonts, colors and image editing while keeping designs simple yet stylish, drawing from magazine conventions but adapting them for their own magazine's identity.
Editing our ‘Another Day’ magazine cover
The document describes the process of editing a magazine cover for a student project. It discusses planning the layout, choosing a main image, editing the image in Photoshop by erasing the background and adding layers. Text elements like the masthead, barcode, and sell lines were then added. The group collaborated on the anchorage text and changed some colors based on feedback. The final cover advertises an interview and pull-out poster from their film and stories from real-life bloggers about anxiety.
Q1a
The document discusses conventions of magazine covers and contents pages and how the media product challenges or develops these conventions. It describes conventions for elements like mastheads, cover images, headlines, quotes, and photos. It notes how the cover develops conventions by having a typical cover image and masthead but challenges little. The contents page takes inspiration from other magazines but doesn't include some usual aspects. Billboard magazine is said to challenge conventions by having its masthead and images resemble a fashion magazine.
Question 5
By using the website "odosketch", the author was able to sketch out initial ideas for how they wanted their magazine to look, including what would be featured on the front cover, contents page, and double page article spread. They then created draft versions of these pages, making adjustments based on feedback and their own evolving vision, such as simplifying designs, changing image sizes and positioning, and altering colors for clarity. Their process involved sketching ideas, creating drafts, getting feedback, and refining designs iteratively until they had clear mockups of how their magazine would take shape.

Evaluation question 1
The document discusses how the media product uses and develops conventions from real pop magazines like Top of the Pops and We Love Pop. For the front cover, conventions like the main cover line over the image were used, but puff placements were changed. Both magazines inspired the contents page layout, but a main image was added. The double page spread followed conventions like text blocks and color scheme, but the image placement was adjusted. The goal was to appeal to pop magazine audiences while putting some personal spin on convention presentations.
G325 Q1a
The document discusses the advantages of using the same software and hardware at A2 that was used at AS, including being more familiar with it and able to work more efficiently. Specific software mentioned includes Blogger, Photoshop, and InDesign. The Canon D550 camera is also discussed. Researching conventions from real world magazines is emphasized in order to make the magazine look professional. Semiotics, or the study of signs and symbols, must be considered when editing photos and layout.
Print evaluation
- The document discusses the process of planning, creating, and evaluating a magazine front cover, double page spread, and website for a vintage fashion magazine.
- Some initial intentions, like using only red, black, and white, had to be changed due to the model's red outfit overwhelming the cover. Font choices also proved difficult.
- Creating the double page spread in InDesign was challenging as the author was unfamiliar with the program. The layout and amount of text had to be adjusted.
- The website was created on WIX and featured galleries, social media links, and a subscription to make it engaging and realistic.
- Overall the author learned from challenges like choosing ideas, fonts, and resolving color clashes
Forms and conventions
The document discusses the design process for a magazine. The author initially planned a non-traditional magazine design but later decided to take a more conservative approach, drawing inspiration from magazines like Kerrang and NME. Key elements like the color scheme, layout, and masthead were revised multiple times to better align with conventions of rock music magazines and to appeal to the target audience. The aim became creating a magazine that would feel familiar to readers and respect genre traditions.
Evaluation question 1
The document discusses the conventions used in magazine design and how the student's media product compares. It examines the conventions used for magazine covers, contents pages, and articles.
For the cover, it shares conventions like the masthead, cover lines, and color schemes with real magazines. The contents page uses a two-column layout with page numbers like real magazines. The article includes a photo alongside text, a catch heading and quote like in magazines.
The student aimed to follow conventions but also challenge them by using different fonts, photos and layouts to create a sleek, clean style while maintaining a magazine-like feel. Finding the right balance of content and professionalism within this style was a challenge.
Preliminary Task: Evaluation
Haley Webb created a style sheet and flat plan for a school magazine. The style sheet compared fonts and colors that would represent the school. For the flat plan, Haley designed the front page layout with a main photo and secondary photos below. The contents page had a relaxed layout. Haley encountered issues with a busy front cover photo not allowing the masthead to stand out. New photos were taken following the style sheet. Secondary photos and snippets were added to the front cover. The contents page used the style sheet colors and included photos corresponding to articles. Reviews suggested adding more effects and different shapes to make the magazine more eye-catching.
Overall Evaluation
The project brief asked the student to create a front page, contents page, and double page spread for both a college magazine and a music magazine. For the college magazine, the student used Microsoft Publisher and took their own photograph for the front cover. For the music magazine, the student used Quark Xpress and Photoshop and based it on the magazine NME. Through completing the project, the student learned how to use professional publishing and editing software like Quark and Photoshop, allowing them to make their magazines look more polished and professional compared to using basic desktop software.
Mock Ups and Mock Up Analysis
The document provides an analysis of mockups created for the front cover, contents page, and double page spread of a magazine. For the front cover mockup, the author describes selecting and editing a stock image and experimenting with different masthead colors. For the contents page mockup, the author explains their design choices including a two-color scheme, image and text placement, and addition of white space. For the double page spread mockup, the author covers their placement of a large image on one page and text in columns on the other, with smaller images to break up the text. The development process and design choices are thoroughly documented.
Media power point
The document discusses the ways in which the media product uses, develops, or challenges conventions of real magazines.
It summarizes that the masthead, cover image, cover lines, headline, selling line, and features pages generally follow conventions through use of bold fonts, sizing, positioning, and content.
Some conventions were developed from magazines like NME, particularly through graphic elements.
Some conventions were potentially challenged through only using one large cover image rather than multiple, and through the shape of the headline graphic.
Overall, most of the magazine follows conventions, but some conventions were challenged when wanting to show a particular style.
Q1
The document compares the final versions of the front cover, contents page, and double-page spread (DPS) of a magazine to their original draft versions. It summarizes the key similarities and differences between the final and draft versions, and provides analysis on design choices and how conventions were adhered to or subverted in the final versions for each page. The overall goal was to create a magazine that would appeal to its target audience of older teenagers interested in rock music while incorporating relevant design conventions.
Evaluation question 1
The document discusses how the author's media product uses and challenges conventions of real magazines.
For the front cover, the author's masthead follows conventions by being at the top of the page, and the main image relates to the story while using grayscale effects.
On the contents page, the author initially challenged conventions but then grouped articles into sections like real magazines. Images are used to advertise articles, and social media links are included.
For the double page spread, the author researched conventions and wrapped text around images and quotes, as seen in other magazines, to keep the layout simple yet effective.
Task 7
This document discusses the process of designing a broadsheet newspaper page layout. It includes examples of style sheets and flat plans that were created. The author notes that their first attempt at a layout was difficult to work with and they disliked the image placement. They experimented with different designs before settling on a final layout that did not use a flat plan but instead placed elements within basic grid guides. The author notes some elements like the large image could be improved and provides an overview of their final broadsheet design.

Final layout plans
- 1. Final Layout Plans Whilst we were producing our magazines, we found that many of the layout ideas we had planned didn’t quite work. So we rearranged the layout and these are our ideas.
- 2. Instead of having the masthead skewed to one side we chose to have it all the way over the top. This made it easier for us to layer our images. We had the story lines scattered over the page and wrapped around the models. This made the main image the highlight of the page without being crowded by the text around it. Apart from those small changes we kept everything pretty much the same and stuck to the generic conventions.
- 3. Whilst we were producing our contents page, we found it hard to spread the text across each of the pages, so we chose to stick to a single page. We had to get rid of some of the content and decided to add an editors column as it was a convention mostly found in music magazines.
