Feedback
The document contains feedback on a streetwear fashion/photography magazine. There are mixed opinions on the layouts and photography. While some layouts and photos are praised, others are said to need improvement. The color scheme receives positive feedback for its simplicity. Specific suggestions include changing the layouts of pages with just photography to improve structure, editing photos to bring models more into focus, and altering the font size and empty white space on article pages. The last two pages and front cover are called out as needing revision based on the feedback.
Feedback on my magazine
The document provides feedback from three peers on Kate Carmichael's magazine. Peer 1 notes that the pop magazine genre is clear from the color scheme and images used. They suggest using a white background for images. Peer 1 also comments that the text could be clearer to read and more details could be added. Peer 2 agrees the genre is clear from the text used. They think the layout and photography are good. Peer 3 also agrees the genre is clear from the bright colors. They think only minor improvements are needed and there is consistency across the pages in terms of layout and style.
7. evaluation(3)
The document provides an evaluation of a magazine production project. It summarizes the student's research process, planning, time management, technical and aesthetic qualities of the magazine, intended audience appeal, and feedback received from peers. The research helped gather ideas and thoughts to develop the magazine. Planning organized the concepts to avoid confusion. Time management and focus were challenges. The magazine design was unique in its use of Star Wars imagery compared to other magazines. Peer feedback noted the magazine was unique but could benefit from more text detail and fixing spelling mistakes. The student agreed with feedback on the magazine being unique but disagreed that more text detail was needed.
7. evaluation(3)
The document summarizes an evaluation of a production process for creating a Japanese-style magazine for the television series "Kamen Rider Build". It describes the stages of research, planning, time management, technical and aesthetic qualities, intended audience, and feedback received from peers. The feedback suggested adding more explanatory text for those unfamiliar with the series and more details or variation in the design.
Question 7
The document reflects on the learning and improvements from the preliminary task of creating a college magazine to the full product of a music magazine.
Some key lessons learned were improving layout and design skills, learning how to effectively edit photographs in Photoshop, and having access to better photography equipment.
The full product showed significant enhancements over the preliminary task, with a bolder, more eye-catching masthead design; a more appropriate and appealing cover image; a coherent color scheme; and professionally styled text. The contents page was also expanded to a double-page spread allowing for more photos and information.
House style
House style refers to the consistent usage and editing conventions that ensure stylistic consistency across publications from the same publisher. House style guides provide rules for matters like abbreviations, capitalization, numbers, citations and more. The document discusses selecting a font for the magazine's masthead that gives it a unique signature look. It notes the color palette will be chosen based on the photographs for the cover. Cover lines are described as needing to catch readers' attention and make them want to buy the magazine. The general placement of elements in the magazine will likely follow a preliminary draft but may be adjusted based on different layout options.
Magazine reflection
This document summarizes the student's first attempt at making a double page spread for their magazine. Some advantages included being happy with the amount of text within the time limit and liking the layout of the headlines. Disadvantages were that the style was more like a newspaper than a magazine, there was no color scheme making it look boring, and there needed to be a better balance of text and images rather than too much text.
Mock ups
This document contains Tayla Matthews' mockups and evaluations of magazine covers, contents pages, and spreads for a music magazine targeting a hip hop audience. The mockups are evaluated based on pros and cons. Key pros included prominent images and mastheads, and article previews. Key cons were a lack of additional images, too much blank space, and missing typical magazine details like barcodes and dates. The evaluations concluded the styles were appropriate for the genre but needed more visual interest and typical magazine conventions to seem professional. Lessons from the mockups informed the design of Tayla's final music magazine.

Masthead and analysis
The document discusses different font and design options for a magazine masthead for an R&B themed publication. It analyzes why an initial scary-looking design was rejected for not standing out enough, and considers other fonts that were not bold enough or used italics. The final design chosen has bold letters that stand out and fits the R&B genre.
Pre-Production (Revisited)
The document discusses plans for a magazine style sheet and photo shoot. It considers different font and layout styles, including sans serif fonts, blocky designs, and use of white space. Color schemes with black, white and subtle colors are mentioned. Equipment needs like phones, cameras, lights and laptop are listed. Contingency plans address potential issues such as full SD cards, dead batteries, forgotten gear or lens problems. Health and safety risks like eyestrain from editing and hand cramp from drawing are considered along with taking regular breaks.
7.evaluation(9)
The document summarizes the student's process of creating a magazine cover for a class project. It includes sections on research, planning, time management, technical qualities, aesthetic qualities, audience appeal, and peer feedback. For research, the student looked at 3 magazines in different genres to get ideas and blended elements they liked. Planning involved mind maps but could have included more detail. Time management was identified as an area of weakness that prevented completing the project on time. Peer feedback noted the professional look but suggested improvements to the text formatting.
Media Studies Evaluation question 5
The document discusses how the author attracted their audience to their magazine through careful design choices. They used a color scheme of red, black, white and grey that complement each other and stand out. Fonts were also chosen to enhance the colors, including a curvy font for the masthead. The layout follows standard magazine conventions, with large center images and lists for easy navigation. Different content like quotes and pictures were included to engage the audience visually. Overall, the combination of colors, images, fonts and layout make the magazine appealing to the target audience.
Evaluation question 7
The student feels they have greatly improved in designing magazine covers and contents pages from their preliminary task to the final product. In the preliminary cover, there were many flaws like unaligned text, poor image cutting, and a lack of consideration for layout and style. However, in the final cover significant thought went into mimicking industry styles, using statement colors, professional fonts, and carefully selecting imagery. Similarly, the preliminary contents page showed a lack of research and conventions, while the final version had realistic sections, aligned elements, and consideration for aesthetics and emphasis on the cover. Overall, the student learned the importance of preparation, research, feedback, and refinement for creating a polished magazine.
Vibe Contents Pages
The document compares the contents pages of 4 magazines. It finds that:
1) The mastheads are consistently located on the left or right side of the page and feature a prominent "V" logo to identify the magazine brand.
2) The contents are always listed down the side of the page in a column for consistency and easy reader recognition.
3) The images usually show full or mid-body shots of people to clearly show subjects and provide a nice frame for the contents.
This consistent layout creates brand recognition and a professional feel that the document recommends adopting for a new magazine.
7. evaluation
The peer feedback on the student's MMA magazine project was generally positive. Feedback noted that the front cover image and color scheme were effective. Suggested improvements included filling blank space on the double page spread with more images or design elements. The student agreed more could have been added to the double page spread but disagreed with changing the text formatting, as it would have made the text too prominent. The student also felt they lacked time to create additional pieces like a poster or website. Overall the feedback was taken into consideration but the student felt the project demonstrated their skills within the time available.
FMP Pre Production
The document discusses plans for creating a magazine style document focused on Japanese culture. It outlines choosing fonts and designs inspired by Japanese symbols and writing. Colors from mood boards will be used, along with basic magazine features like barcodes and dates. Contingency plans are discussed for potential issues like software or image access problems. Health and safety concerns over extended computer use are addressed. An 8 day schedule is outlined for tasks like downloading assets, creating the cover, articles, and finalizing the magazine.
7. evaluation (1) ellie schreurs works power 3
Ellie created a fashion and makeup magazine for a personal project. She researched magazines for inspiration and ideas. While planning, she came up with ideas independently but realized she should have planned her photoshoot location better due to poor weather. Her peers provided feedback that the magazine appealed to its target audience but could be improved with more topics, adjusting layouts and colors, and taking additional photos outside. Ellie agreed with the feedback and realized she could have done more to improve her magazine.
Asdfghjkl
Peers provided feedback on a magazine front cover design, praising the layout, images, masthead, and information placement. Suggestions for improvement included reducing white space, adding sub-images and making the pull quote and sell line text more prominent. The designer was happy with the feedback and agreed to make the pull quote larger, but thought decreasing white space and adding sub-images did not fit the magazine style.
How%20i%20made%20my%20front%20cover
I used trial and error to design my magazine cover by testing different images and colors. I took the main photo of Michael myself to have full ownership of the image. I edited the photos in Photoshop to improve quality and fit the layout. A variety of bright colors were used to grab readers' attention and make the cover appealing.
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.
Fmp weekly diary -
In the first week, the student began writing content for their magazine and researching companies to write about. They found writing content the most difficult part. In the second week, they created the magazine's front page using a simple design with a pink masthead and color-corrected image. They struggled with how large to make the front page image. In the third week, they designed double page spreads to reflect each company's brand through backgrounds and images, like using a wooden floor to represent a fashion boutique. They modified company logos to stand out on pages.
Critical Analysis
The document provides a critical analysis of a magazine cover design created by Dylan Jennings. It identifies several strengths, such as the quality of the main image and well-designed layout. However, it also notes weaknesses, like the uniform in the main image that indicates it was school-produced and indistinct headline text. The analysis further discusses limitations of the equipment used and how research into similar magazines informed choices, concluding that improvements are needed to the masthead, headline formatting, and text placement around the main image.
Evaluation q1 g
This document summarizes how the media product follows several conventions of real magazines. It discusses including page numbers on the double page spread but not elsewhere to balance convention with clarity. It also includes the standard masthead in the top left corner to catch readers' eyes. Fonts are primarily Myriad Pro to provide familiarity while some are distorted for variety. The color scheme of white, black, and red is used to look professional while accommodating color blindness. Conventions are followed to engage the intended audience while some, like page numbers, are adapted for usability.
Reflection
Olivia created fonts and color schemes for her production project over several weeks. In week 1, she researched fonts on DaFont and selected "Big Noodle Titling" and "Loves" for titles and descriptions. In week 2, she chose a bright color scheme to match her fine art theme and created a style sheet with inspiration. Creating fonts and colors in advance helped plan her production. Over weeks 3-7, Olivia continued working on her project, making improvements and finalizing her products in week 7.
Power point question 1
This document discusses how the student's magazine uses and develops conventions from real media products like Vibe magazine. It analyzes elements like layout, photo size, coloring, props, and text formatting that were inspired by Vibe. The student aims to challenge themselves by incorporating these elements into their own magazine, such as using medium close-ups, neat writing layouts, fades over text, consistent text size, and guidelines. Their contents page and double page spreads attempt to emulate the style of Vibe to make their magazine easily readable and attractive to audiences.
Font design research
The document discusses font design for an indie pop album cover. It explains that the title font needs to stand out and match the genre. A messy, unfinished style is considered to convey a relaxed feel. Both asymmetry and geometric shapes are mentioned as design elements. Several preexisting fonts are evaluated but deemed unsuitable. The document concludes that creating a custom font by hand drawing letters or modifying an existing outline in Photoshop would best achieve the desired style.
Presentation of flat plans for media!
The document discusses the student's plans for their magazine flat plans project, including the front cover, contents page, and double page spread. For the front cover, they will take elements from popular magazines like Q, NME, and Kerrang, such as using a bold logo and color scheme. For the contents page, they will include a large title, date, boxes around headings, and large images to make it easy to read. For the double page spread, they will use a simple color scheme, large striking image, and interview layout similar to examples seen from researching other popular magazines.
Skill development
The document summarizes the skills and techniques the author has learned from creating a preliminary college magazine to a final hip hop and rap magazine. The author's photography skills improved by using a DSLR camera instead of an iPhone, allowing for higher quality photos. Composition and shooting techniques also improved, such as using closer shots. Presentation skills grew from the preliminary to final magazine, including using varied fonts and ensuring proper text alignment. In Photoshop, tools like the blending options, burn/dodge tool, and magnetic lasso tool were utilized. Feedback was gathered to help create a magazine that best appealed to the target audience.

5 reasons why spreadsheet based risk management systems don’t work
Spreadsheet-based risk management systems are prone to errors and do not provide the functionality needed to effectively manage risks. They require manual data input, which is time-consuming and error-prone. Analysis and simulations are limited and inflexible to changing business needs. As portfolios grow, spreadsheets slow down and cannot be scaled. Automation of key risk processes is not possible. Spreadsheets result in a passive rather than responsive approach to risk management. While low-cost, spreadsheets provide a false sense of security and increase long-term costs of risk management. Dedicated risk management systems are needed to properly manage risks.

Representation
The document discusses representation in a magazine for an indie genre. It describes using images of young females and artists on the cover and inside spreads that represent youth and are relatable to the target audience. Stereotypical indie styles of modern, fashionable clothing and moody, melodramatic black and white imagery are used.

Self evaluation of production skills
The document provides guidance for creating different media types - a trailer, poster, and magazine cover - for a horror film project. It emphasizes following genre conventions, such as using fast pacing, dark tones, and images/sounds that build tension. Continuity across the different pieces is also important, using familiar characters, scenes and design elements to maintain audience interest. Fonts, layout, and effective use of space should appeal to the target audience and follow typical conventions for each media type.
Representation
The document discusses representation in a magazine cover, spread, and contents page for an indie magazine targetting youth. It aims to appeal to its target audience by using images and designs that represent qualities stereotypically associated with indie culture and youth. On the cover, a moody black and white photo of a young female reader is used to make the target audience feel represented. Colors like red, white and black symbolize courage and strength in line with the magazine's indie genre. Images of fashionably dressed young artists are meant to capture the strength and modern style of indie artists and readers.
Progression within media
The document discusses the conventions used in magazines for different target audiences. It reflects on the preliminary magazine created for students, which lacked many conventions like bright colors, bold fonts, and multiple photos. The conventions improved for the music magazine, including using red, white, and black colors; sans serif fonts; moody black and white photos; and cluttered layout with cover lines and bold masthead. Overall, following conventions for the target audience and genre helped make the second magazine more successful.

Report - The Economics of Commodity Trading Firms - Trafigura
A detailed new case study scrutinizing the risk-management practices of Swiss-based Trafigura is the latest effort to "demystify" the once-secretive commodity trading industry, just as big merchants seek to fill a void being left by Wall Street banks. The firm approached Craig Pirrong, a well-known professor of finance and commodity markets commentator at the University of Houston, last July to commission an independent review of the commodity trading industry, with the goal of "demystifying" it.

The scenes aim to build suspense and mystery through mysterious object movements and characters displaying fear or distress to suggest supernatural activity is taking place. Individual contributions to the filming included operating cameras, setting up equipment and locations, assisting with lighting and composition, and acting in scenes.
Target audience
The document discusses conducting research on the target audience for a student's magazine through questionnaires. The questionnaires found that the target audience was mainly teenagers and young adults who enjoyed indie/rock bands. This helped the student tailor the magazine's content, colors, fonts and images to appeal to this audience and be similar to other magazines like NME. Feedback from target audience helped the student further improve the front cover, contents page and double page spread to make the magazine more conventional and appealing.

Media peer 1
The document contains feedback from 4 peers on a magazine mockup.
Peer 1 thought the layout made it clear it was a magazine and indie magazine. They suggested more variety in photography and angles.
Peer 2 thought the genre was clear from fonts and photography. They liked the tri-color scheme but said genre could be clearer.
Peer 3 said some photography quality was low and contents page needed more imagery. They saw similarities to professional magazines.
Peer 4 said genre was clear but model could look more indie. They suggested improving layout with more contents and pictures.
Peer Assessment
The peer feedback provided suggestions to improve the magazine cover drafts:
1. Use a close-up portrait to show emotion and make eye contact with the audience. Include a visible price and use different font styles creatively.
2. Show more work leading up to the cover design. The pictures lack professionalism and the magazine looks empty without a color scheme. Make the masthead bigger and try a different font.
3. The blog research and draft ideas were good but the cover seems bland without more effects on the writing or an enlarged barcode and distinct price and date.
4. The blog research quality was high but the cover is lacking a date, title, price and headline to make it

Evaluation question 1
This document discusses how the media product, a music magazine, both uses conventions of real magazines as well as challenges some conventions.
The layout and design of the front cover uses conventions like centering the model's face, including writing on the sides, and using consistent font styles. However, the location of the main cover story is placed unconventionally at the bottom rather than the typical middle placement.
Inside pages also blend conventions, like placing the masthead in the center and using a similar contents page structure, with some unconventional elements like using multiple images on the contents page rather than one. Color is also used unconventionally to differentiate sub-stories rather than just one color.

Planning and research Isaac McKenzie
This is my video created using powerpoint, analysing my mockups and final designs of my front cover and contents page.
Question 1
My media product uses, develops, and challenges conventions of real magazines in the following ways:
It uses conventions such as featuring the artist looking at the camera on the front cover and including page numbers and categories on the contents page. However, it challenges conventions by having a non-straight headline and subheadline on the front cover and only one font on the contents page. The article develops conventions by taking a full-head photograph of the artist and laying out one side with the photo and the other with text.
Evalutaion question 1
My media product uses some conventions of real magazines but also challenges some conventions:
- The front cover uses conventions like an artist looking at the camera and masthead placement but only uses 2 fonts instead of more.
- The contents page follows conventions like page numbers and categories but only uses one font instead of more.
- The article uses conventions like columns and a pull quote but challenges conventions by having the headline at an angle instead of straight. It also only uses one picture instead of more than one.
7. evaluation

It summarizes the planning, research, time management, technical qualities, aesthetic qualities, audience appeal, and peer feedback stages. For planning, the student found drafting ideas helpful. Research informed the magazine style. Poor time management meant less cover detail. Peer feedback noted fonts and centering could be improved, and colors between images and text didn't match well.
Feedback
This document contains feedback from three peers on a fanzine project. The feedback praised the illustrations but suggested improvements to the layout and formatting of text columns.

7. evaluation(3) magazine final
This document summarizes Amy Foster's evaluation of a fashion magazine production project. Some strengths identified in the research stage were replicating layouts from magazines like Vogue and choosing color schemes. Planning strengths included experimenting with layouts and photo selection. Weaknesses included the difficulty recreating professional photos. Time management was identified as an area for improvement, as rushing led to lower quality. Peer feedback noted both appealing and cluttered aspects of the cover design, and suggested simplifying colors and reducing subtitle text size. The author agreed more simplicity was needed in the design and color scheme to better target teenagers.
7. evaluation(3)
This document provides an evaluation of Jay Birkin's magazine production project. It summarizes the research, planning, and time management that went into the project. It also discusses the technical and aesthetic qualities of the finished magazine products. Peer feedback was positive about the variety of images and coverage of the entertainment genre as a whole. Suggested improvements focused on adding more information to the double page spread and potentially making the front cover more eye-catching with brighter colors. The student agrees that the double page could be improved and would make those changes if given more time.
Question 1
This document summarizes how the media product uses and develops conventions of real music magazines.
The masthead, cover image, headline, and cover lines follow conventions by using attention-grabbing fonts and colors. However, the headline is not centered. The contents page uses a neat column layout and continues the theme's fonts and colors.
The article headline stands out against the text with a different color and font. A pull quote and body text in an easy-to-read font also follow conventions. While the article image is atypical by not matching the cover, additional images provide context and make the star seem accessible. Small details like an Instagram screenshot further develop realism.
Student maga
This document discusses a student's experience creating preliminary work and two music magazines as part of a course. For the preliminary work, the student tried out ideas and got familiar with software that could be useful. When creating the magazines, the student found it challenging not having all needed software and sticking to the timeline. The student improved at choosing fonts and colors, photography, layout, and including typical magazine elements in the second magazine. Overall, the experience helped the student develop technical skills in software like Photoshop and conventions of magazine design.
Peer feedback factual layout
The student received feedback on three newspaper layout designs. For the broadsheet design, feedback noted that the columns were clear but suggested making the masthead bigger and adding more color. For the tabloid design, feedback liked the use of images and colors but suggested improving the text layout and font. For the fanzine design, feedback said the black and white theme worked well but found the inner article text too small and hard to read. The student agreed with broadsheet feedback but disagreed that the fanzine inner text was illegible, noting it was intentionally amateurish in design.

Script
Michaela believes her house is haunted and convinces her three friends - James, Libby, and Sophie - to spend the weekend there to prove it. That night, James is found crying in the living room. The next day, Sophie sets up cameras throughout the house. When they review the footage, they see some suspicious activity but nothing definitive. They decide to stay longer.

Through cutaways the trailer builds tension and fear, culminating in a final scene showing one teenager near death.
Production pitch
Viacom would be a suitable company to produce and promote the film due to their previous success with horror films. As a subsidiary of Paramount Pictures, the film would be presented at a high level to a large audience. Viacom could also promote the film through their various subsidiaries.
The film will focus on a group of teenage friends who stay in one friend's house to prove to her that strange things happening there are not real, but strange events occur that are caught on camera. Camerawork, editing, lighting, sound, and setting will all use horror film conventions to build tension and scare the audience.

Survey feedback analysis
From surveying their target audience, the author found that respondents disliked the contents page due to too much blank space and not enough information. They have since updated the contents page based on this feedback. Respondents also thought the magazine's double page spread and images were conventional in design, but suggested including more information on the contents page instead of many images. One person said they would not buy the magazine, but the author may have addressed their concerns with the updates.
Technology
The document describes how the author used Photoshop and Microsoft Word to design the layout for an indie magazine. In Photoshop, the author removed the background from an image using the lasso tool to make it all white. In Word, the author set transparent colors on text boxes to place text over images, added a red background behind white text for visibility, created columns using multiple text boxes of the same size, and inserted pull quotes and lines using shapes. These techniques helped the author design a professional looking magazine layout.
