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.

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.

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.
