Photographs
I took various photographs that I felt would be suitable for my hip-hop/R&B magazine, paying attention to lighting, models, clothing, and poses. I was inspired by the front cover of XXL magazine featuring Nicki Minaj and Drake taking up most of the frame. I wanted to recreate this to capture attention, and also recreate the look of the artist New Boyz using two models that resembled a hip-hop duo. I took another photo of a model to feature in another article and give readers more insight into the magazine's content. For the contents page, I used smaller images to allow easy reading of text and navigation. The double-page spread continued using the front cover artists and styling

I was inspired by the front cover of XXL magazine featuring Nicki Minaj and Drake taking up most of the frame. I wanted to recreate a similar style with my two models resembling a hip-hop duo. I also took a photo of another model to feature in an article and give readers more insight into the magazine's content. The contents page uses smaller images to allow easy reading of text and navigation. The double-page spread continues the style from the front cover to provide flow and identify the magazine's genre through the models' poses and attitude.
Evaluation question one
While the magazine covers share some similarities, there are also notable differences. Both covers feature models with shadows behind them in similar poses. They also use identical color schemes. However, the covers differ in their lighting - one uses bright lighting while the other uses darker lighting. The layouts and mastheads are also completely different, with one using all capital letters and the other using lowercase. The amount of information and focus of each cover also differentiates them.
Evaluation
This document summarizes how the media product challenges conventions of real music magazines. It includes unconventional elements like placing the artist quote beneath their name on the front cover instead of the side. The contents page splits the contents into three columns instead of one. Images on the double page spread are in black and white or tan colors instead of full color to match the gray and orange color scheme. The artist name has a see-through effect in the center of images, differing from conventions. Overall, the document explores both conventional elements borrowed from real magazines, as well as unconventional design choices.
Task 15 photographs
This document contains photographs selected for different sections of a magazine. For the front cover, a chest-up photo of a model was chosen that has enough headroom to trim. The contents page includes pictures of different models in various locations to appeal to different tastes. A double page spread was selected with in-focus photos of a model that capture the attitude and rebellious nature reflected in his music genre through shadows.
Evaluationq1
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.
Double pg spread analysis
This document summarizes and compares the double page spreads from two magazines - Vibe and NME. For Vibe, there is no masthead but a row of images and the first paragraph stands out in blue to draw attention. The main image of Solange Knowles is eye-catching against the grey background. For NME, the large masthead acts as the headline and immediately catches readers' attention. The masthead and main image of Lily Allen both represent the magazine's indie/punk style through their use of red, black and white. While Vibe has a more modern R&B theme, NME aims for a 'rock and roll' audience through its layout and visuals.
Construction
The document discusses mood boards and pre-production materials for a magazine. It includes inspiration photos, artist references, font options, early name ideas, and cover sketches. The key points are:
1) Mood boards include nature and indie/rock style photos to inspire the magazine's visual style.
2) Artists like Florence and the Machine are referenced for their fashion and photography styles.
3) Font and masthead concepts aim to attract readers with bold, rebellious designs.
4) Cover sketches explore layouts featuring band photos, pull quotes, and mastheads against woodland backgrounds.

Analysis of double page spread
This document analyzes two double page spreads from magazines. It notes the conventions typically used, such as a large headline, main image, pull quotes, and factual information. The first spread follows conventions closely, while the second challenges some by placing the quote on the opposite page from the article start and omitting a headline or facts section. While unconventional, the second spread is still deemed effective at engaging readers. The analysis concludes by reflecting on lessons about using anchors, male gaze, airbrushing, and challenging conventions to develop double page spreads.
First question presentation
The document discusses the layout of a magazine cover featuring two prominent artists representing their genre and culture through costumes. The magazine masthead displays the artists at the top. The coverlines are all in uppercase left-aligned text. Photos of the two artists take up the double-page spread, with one entering from the left and the other from the right. The introductory title is bold and sans-serif to grab attention and identify the featured artists. The inside pages include three columns of text and four additional photos of the artists, with content written in different areas of the pages. Sections are dedicated to regular content and special features, along with page references.
Sketches
The document provides sketches and descriptions for the front cover, contents page, and article layout of a magazine. For the front cover, the masthead will be at the top with a close-up image and cover lines around and below the image. The main sell line will be at the bottom. The contents page will have the title on the left with the most important features also on the left and a variety of images. A mini review will provide a taste of one of the full reviews inside. The article will have an image on the left of the first double page with an introductory paragraph, then a variety of images and pull quotes on the second page, and boxouts on the third page to break up the text.
Presentation1
The magazine cover uses fonts, colors, and images to attract different audiences. A black and white male artist photo relates to the magazine's theme. A red heart on his chest and a female hand holding him are intended to attract female readers. Secondary artists on the cover showcase which pages feature them to draw in other readers.
Double Page Spread Analysis
This document summarizes and analyzes three different double page spreads from music magazines. For each spread, the document highlights elements that are effective such as use of color, fonts, photographs, article placement and design features that help guide the reader's eye. Overall, it evaluates how the visual design and layout choices for each spread help tell the story and draw the reader in.
Evaluation question 1
The document discusses the design elements of a magazine cover and article page. The cover features a large main image of an artist with direct eye contact. The masthead is placed behind the image to make it stand out more. The headline and subheading are connected and provide information about the artist's new album. Contrast is used to make the artist stand out from the lighter background. For the article page, a different main image is used along with graphics and pull quotes to grab attention while maintaining the magazine's color scheme.
Appropriate integration of text redo
This presentation summarizes the sources of inspiration for the front cover, contents page, and double page spread of a magazine article. The presenter took inspiration from side articles on the front cover and the central image of the artist. However, the writing at the top of the cover was messy. The contents page effectively featured a picture of the artist and page number with caption. Multiple double page spreads were analyzed that effectively placed interviews on one page and an image of the artist on the facing page, which the presenter emulated.
Contents page suggestions
The document discusses features the author likes from various music magazine contents pages, including:
- CLASH magazine's split sections with headers;
- Billboard magazine having text integrated with images;
- Vibe magazine's dark colour and Chris Brown image enticing consumers;
- Incorporating these ideas into their own contents page to showcase computer skills through text integration.

- Photos throughout aim to portray the model as confident, intimidating
Before and After Photoshop Analysis
The document describes the step-by-step process of designing a magazine front cover in Photoshop. Various design elements like mastheads, cover lines, quotes, and plugs were added to layers on the cover to provide information about the artists and content featured in the magazine. Tools like quick selection, slicing, and brush effects were used to edit images and text and construct the overall cover design on separate layers for flexibility.
Influenced posters / sketches - sasiane saku
For their first sketch, the author was inspired by a magazine cover that featured the character's name across the middle and top of the image. They included their character's name in a bubble font at the top to direct attention to the main character. Sub-images were placed at the bottom rather than the top to focus attention on the masthead example.
For their second sketch, the author was influenced by Empire magazine's depiction of a character's body language and positioning. They gave their character a stern expression connoting seriousness and arms positioned to connote power and status. The masthead was drawn in a zigzag font inspired by Scream magazine to connote cutting with a knife, revealing the character and genre
Evvaluation - Question 1
The document compares the layout, design elements, and conventions used in the student's magazine with a professional magazine. It finds that both magazines use mastheads at the top, cover lines down the sides, and images in the center following the rule of thirds. However, the professional magazine uses brighter colors while the student used simpler colors. The contents pages of both magazines include titles, images, and are consistently designed. Double page spreads in each include columns, photos, and stories about new albums. While not identical, the student followed many typical magazine conventions.
Evaluation Question 1
The magazine uses and develops some conventions of real music magazines. It has the masthead in the same position as the reference magazine and includes a download link. However, it challenges conventions by including a barcode, which the reference magazine does not have. The contents page follows conventions like labeling it "contents" but rearranges the layout. The title "Mix" refers to how music genres are produced and DJ/producer live sets. The model wears blue clothes that coordinate with the magazine's color scheme of blue, white, and black text and masthead.
How did you attract your audience

Process of designing magzine pages
First, the document discusses designing the cover page of a music magazine, including testing different fonts before selecting "Colonna MT" as most suitable. It then discusses designing the contents page, putting the masthead vertically to make the magazine unique while keeping contents horizontal. Finally, it discusses designing a double spread page, including using different fonts for a band banner, artist name, paragraphs on the artist, and side headings to remind readers of the magazine name.
Front cover research
The document compares and contrasts the cover designs of two hip hop magazines: HipHop Weekly and The Source. HipHop Weekly has a clear and consistent layout with the masthead always at the top and cover stories aligned down the right side. The Source has no consistent house style as elements change position on each issue. While HipHop Weekly uses conventional coverlines in consistent positions, The Source varies coverline placement for an unusual design that could attract readers.
Sketches
My sketches for a rap music magazine aim to emulate real music magazines with close-up images of artists to convey authority, a contents page with pictures and text to highlight sections, and large main images of artists along with short headings to attract readers.
Test shots

Contents page research
The document summarizes the process of creating a contents page for a magazine. It was inspired by the contents pages of "Billboard" and "We Heart Pop" magazines. Elements borrowed from "Billboard" include using its logo, positioning two featured artist images at the top of the page similarly, and using two colors of text (maroon and black) to indicate what each page is about. Elements from "We Heart Pop" include placing the magazine logo at the top, featuring a main image, including an editor's note, and adding color behind the text for visual appeal. The creator aimed to design a contents page that looked professional by drawing from conventions used in other popular music magazines.
Final Masthead Decisions
The document discusses font choices for a masthead. It decides on a sans serif, bold, capitalized font to stand out to the target audience, following conventions of magazines like Billboard and Top of the Pops. It then describes editing the font on Photoshop, resizing letters to emphasize "pop" and highlight the genre, and changing the color to match the model's lipstick for cohesion.
Target audience feedback
Three people provided feedback on a magazine cover design. Sradha liked the engaging main image, simple color scheme, and large artist name. Hannah liked the makeup image but thought the issue number should be on the front. Zoya liked the wordplay with the model's hat matching the quote and cover lines standing out, but thought some blank spaces could be filled.

Evaluation Question 1
The document discusses how the media product uses, develops, and challenges conventions of real music magazines. It describes using conventions like placement of mastheads and barcodes on the front cover. It develops conventions by changing the opacity of the masthead and having more formal clothing. It challenges conventions by including a flower crown on the front cover to portray the male artist in a more feminine way. On the contents page, it follows conventions like layout and descriptions but changes model placement. On the double page spread it develops conventions like pull quote placement and using three rows of text instead of two columns for the interview. It subverts conventions on the contents page by adding a second image.

The document discusses potential photo shoot ideas for the cover of an indie pop music magazine. It proposes 12 different photo concepts featuring an artist, with a focus on incorporating props that represent the indie aesthetic like flower crowns, large hats, guitars, and scenic backgrounds. The goals are to attract the target audience by creating pleasing and intriguing images that reflect the fashion and artistic styles associated with indie pop music.
Contents Page Deconstruction
The document discusses conventions used in magazine contents pages that could inspire the design of the author's own contents page. Specifically, it notes using lines to separate titles and subtitles, highlighting the cover story, continuing background colors over images, adding drop shadows to images, including pull quotes to catch interest, using graphics to showcase skills, and using complementary colors to attract audiences and display important information. The author intends to incorporate these conventions that make contents pages look sophisticated, clear, and attract target audiences.
Evaluation Question 3
The document discusses how the author's indie pop music magazine represents various social groups. The target audience is 16-20 year olds, so the author based the magazine's style and content around their own tastes and interests at age 17. Images in the magazine depict indie pop concert crowds and fans to represent the diverse social groups that listen to indie pop music, including listings of various indie pop artists on the cover. The magazine's laidback yet sophisticated style and use of hashtags and QR codes are meant to appeal to the target audience's technology usage.

For each shot, it specifies the angle of gaze, positioning of hands or body, facial expressions, and other details to capture the model in a natural yet intentional way to portray different moods and personalities for the artistic spread.
Contents page image choices
The document discusses image choices for a death metal magazine contents page. It describes three images chosen: 1) A main image representing death metal with a hat-wearing artist holding a knife, indicating violence and anger themes in death metal. 2) An image of the editor to look natural and appropriate, unlike editors in other magazines who didn't represent the genre's style. 3) A bottom graveyard image advertising a death metal band called 'Grave,' with gothic headstones and church windows reflecting death metal themes of death and the afterlife.
Shot list
This document contains descriptions of potential photo shots for an indie magazine article. It provides 11 different shot types ranging from full body shots to close ups. The shots showcase the models/artists in various poses that represent indie styles and personalities. They are positioned to draw readers in with hints of mystery or intimacy and show the subjects in an exclusive way that makes the audience feel privileged. The photos aim to help readers connect with the artists and learn about them through visual storytelling.
Contents research
This document provides an analysis of a magazine contents page layout. It notes that the magazine title is presented small at the top, while features and articles are split into two columns with clear titles. Reviews are presented differently in a black box to stand out. There is also a message from the editor with information about the issue. Most pictures are in boxes with the related page number. The layout includes different sections like feedback and live reviews with larger titles.
Album cover
I spent the last few weeks designing the album cover for my first EP. I wanted the artwork to represent the themes in my music like love, heartbreak, and self-reflection. After many revisions incorporating feedback from friends, I finalized a simple design using a heart outline, colored pencil sketches, and my album title in a handwritten font that captures the raw emotions in my songs.

The document discusses how the cover and contents page of a magazine are linked through consistent design elements. Both pages use a black, white, and blue color scheme, similar fonts for pull quotes, and the magazine masthead to visually connect them. Small X graphics are also carried over from the cover but made smaller on the contents page to transition between the pages. The same artist and article titles featured on the cover also appear on the contents page and a double page spread within the magazine to tie the content together.

Flat plan
The document summarizes the design choices made for a magazine cover and contents page layout. Key influences were the layout conventions of two popular music magazines, "we heart pop" and "top of the pops". Design elements borrowed include using slanted text to highlight artists, pairing cover lines with related images, and incorporating fashion/makeup. Graphics like circles were used to contain text in an eye-catching way. The contents page lists articles inside with large images and page numbers on the sides. Interior pages use a large main image of the artist alongside a smaller related image, with text surrounding for clarity and organization. Quotes are included to engage readers.

This document discusses the design choices made for a magazine cover and contents. It examines several existing magazine covers and contents pages as inspiration. Some of the key design elements copied include bold mastheads, large cover story text, limited color palettes, full-page cover photos, varied letter sizing, and double page spreads with introductory sentences. The document focuses on consistency of design elements throughout the cover, contents, and spreads. The target audience of pop music is also considered in design choices like more sophisticated layouts. Elements not copied include designs deemed too comic-book like or only appealing to niche audiences.

Mia Harrison's magazine uses, develops, and challenges conventions of real media in the following ways:
1) The magazine cover takes inspiration from existing magazines like Billboard and Vogue in its use of a natural background and font positioning, but develops these conventions by placing the masthead at the bottom rather than the side.
2) The contents page develops conventions by adding a banner and using color consistently, and challenges conventions by using a background image rather than plain color.
3) The double-page spread uses darker colors behind text like a sample magazine, but develops boxed text conventions by outlining some text lighter gray for visual interest. It also challenges conventions by making the feature image smaller to add more text

Evaluation.pptx question 1
The document discusses a student's process for designing their own magazine cover and contents based on conventions from example magazines. The student chose to follow conventions like bold mastheads, large cover story text, limited color palettes, full-page cover photos, varied text sizes in contents pages, and double page spreads with introductory sentences and text wraps around photos. The student avoided designs they felt were too comic-like or only appealed to niche audiences.
No joke magazine
This document summarizes a student's magazine cover and contents page design project. The student was inspired by hip hop magazines and chose colors, layouts, and elements consistent with those publications. Key aspects included using images of rapper N-Y-B, block colors for text, and a serious tone to match the "No Joke" magazine name. The contents page continued these design choices and featured images and tilted text for visual interest. A double-page interview spread was organized with a large portrait, smaller photos, and columns of question text.

Extension of Photography Plan Presentation.docx
The document discusses plans for various images to be used in a magazine cover and layout. It intends to feature a female artist on the cover raising an eyebrow inquisitively and suggestively. Images will include the artist draped over records and instruments for a double page spread, as well as full body shots and close-ups of the artist in different poses and locations to appear provocative yet natural. The goal is to create a unique and appealing visual design that draws in the target male audience.
Screenshot progression
The document describes the process of designing the front cover, contents page, and double page spread (DPS) of a magazine. For the front cover, a gray background was used with a model image in the center giving direct eye contact. Text boxes were added in yellow and red. Additional images and design elements were incorporated from other magazines. The contents page included the masthead, images of the featured people, and descriptions of articles. The DPS used a split layout with an image on one side and three text boxes describing the featured artist on the other side.
Evaluation
The document discusses conventions of music magazine front covers and articles that the author observed in their research. It then analyzes how their own mock magazine front cover, contents page, and double-page article both follow conventions such as placing the magazine title at the top and categorizing articles, and break conventions through creative design choices like unique layouts and images to attract readers. The author concludes they successfully incorporated typical magazine conventions while also displaying elements differently from researched magazines.
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 1
The document discusses how the magazine cover and contents page were designed to follow conventions from real music magazines like NME and Clash, while also attempting to challenge some conventions. Key points include using a model giving a rude gesture on the cover to portray rebellion as seen in NME covers, using a three-color scheme for continuity, and placing the masthead and cover lines over the model in standard locations but trying different masthead arrangements. Images and quotes from featured artists are used on the contents page along with a mix of shots following magazine conventions.
QUESTION 1
This document summarizes how the media product uses and develops conventions from real magazines.
The front cover was inspired by magazines like XXL and Vibe to fit conventions while having uniqueness. Elements like lighting, location, artist's pose and outfit aim to appeal to the target audience.
The double page spread (DPS) has a portrait image of the artist separate from text, following conventions. The angle and lighting were chosen to represent the artist's journey.
Creating the contents page was challenging to include the minimum two images while changing ideas, until a final version was made. Conventions from existing magazines provided inspiration for an effective layout.
Question 1
The document discusses the process of researching and designing a magazine. The author looked at many existing magazines to get ideas for layouts, color schemes, fonts, and other design elements. They initially tried to copy the NME magazine but later changed to take more inspiration from another magazine called "Link" that they felt was better organized. They focused on typography and language to create a design that was easy to read but also visually appealing. Pictures were also an essential part of making the magazine appealing to the target audience and setting trends.
My evaluation
On the front cover of the magazine, the author uses a male model represented as a bit of a thug to appeal to the target male audience of late teens. Throughout the magazine, the author aims to represent the target audience of middle class teenagers through the casual clothing and appearances of the models. While trying to include diversity, the magazine unintentionally shows bias towards featuring only white British people due to limitations. The author considers publishers like IPC who distribute similar magazines as potential partners due to their large audience reach and expertise in marketing magazines across different platforms.
Evaluation Question 1
The document discusses how the student created a music magazine for a school assignment. They researched conventions of real music magazines to inform their design choices. Specifically, they looked at "We Love Pop" magazine to understand layouts, cover lines, images, and other conventions. Their magazine cover follows conventions like the left third rule for the masthead and placing cover lines around the main image. However, they challenged conventions by using fewer cover lines and images than typical pop magazines. Overall, they were influenced by "Top of the Pops" and "We Love Pop" magazines but made some adaptations to better suit their purpose and audience.
Evaluations question 1
The document discusses how the media product, a music magazine, uses and develops conventions from real music magazines. Specifically:
- Two magazines, i-D and another, were used as style models for layout, simplicity of design, soft colors, and minimal text.
- The title is prominently but not overwhelmingly displayed. Contents pages and spreads do not include the title based on one style model.
- Images are used as the main focal point, with cover lines and text intended to encourage reading the inside.
- A minimalist, black and white color scheme is used, with some important words highlighted for the contents page. Color is also matched from a photo to title text on a spread.

Poster shots taken/ mise-en-scene
The document discusses several poster shot photos that a group decided not to use for their movie poster. They found issues with the centering of the models, the facial expressions not looking scary enough, backgrounds not being dark enough, shadows making images hard to edit, angles making the villain look too innocent, and eye positioning looking comical rather than scary. The group wanted a shot with straight gaze and a mid-shot that avoided these issues.
The journey of ‘akumu san’
The document summarizes a student film project called "The Journey of 'Akumu San'." It describes the narrative of friends summoning a demon they can't get rid of, leading to death and destruction. It outlines creative decisions like linking the story to online moral panics and following theories about monstrous feminine villains and final girls. It also discusses the magazine cover, film poster, and trailer created for the project and how they reference horror conventions and films like "Psycho" for inspiration.
Horror film trailer conventions
This document summarizes key elements and techniques used in the trailers for four horror films: The Forest, Carrie, Blair Witch, and Ouija. For The Forest, sound and music are used to create atmosphere and tension. Carrie shows the protagonist gaining power through Todorov's equilibrium theory and other concepts. Blair Witch uses frequent shot changes and blackouts to cause adrenaline and confusion in viewers. Ouija follows traditional trailer conventions by highlighting memorable parts out of order and building to a climax.
Shot and call list
The document provides a cast list and character descriptions for a student film, including the characters Blake, Lilith, Gracelynn, Kieron, Akumu-san, and the Teacher. It also lists the props, locations, and camera equipment needed, including using a house for bathroom and bedroom scenes, an alleyway for a trailer scene, a basement for another scene, and cameras, iPhones, and a tripod.
The evolution of vampires
Vampires originated in European folklore as undead beings that feed on the blood of the living and visit their former homes. The 1922 film Nosferatu portrayed vampires as revolting monsters from Transylvania, with frightening physical features. Later films in the 1990s began showing vampires as mysterious and sexy beings that seduced women. By the 21st century, vampires like those in Twilight were depicted as almost entirely human and capable of gentle romance, feeding on animals rather than humans and sparkling in sunlight instead of burning.

DPS layout
The artist was inspired by a magazine showing blood on the subject's face and hands, feeling it fit well with their name "Bloody Mary" and added drama. They adapted the graphic at the top to spread blood across instead of focusing in one area. The interview is in two columns on the right with some writing curved around the artist's image to look more professional than placing text over the photo.
Contents layout
This document compares sections of a final contents page layout to an initial flat plan layout. It shows that one area was kept mostly the same, while other images at the top of the page were changed to have a single image in the corner that relates better to the surrounding text. Instead of labeling one section "this week," it was changed to "features" for accuracy and as a convention seen more in music magazines.
Dying fetus
Dying Fetus is an American death metal band formed in 1991 in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. They are known for their blast beats, complex riffing, and slam riffs. Their lyrics often deal with political and modern themes. The band has undergone numerous lineup changes over the years, with guitarist and vocalist John Gallagher remaining as the only original member. They have released several albums through labels like Relapse Records and are considered influential in the deathcore genre.
Death metal introduction
Death metal emerged in the 1980s from thrash metal bands like Slayer and Venom, taking the speed of thrash to greater extremes with heavier guitar distortion, blast beats, and deep vocals. It focused lyrically on hyper-violence, horror, Satanism, and anti-religion. By the early 1990s, death metal had grown a cult following and many bands were signed to labels, though it generally failed to achieve mainstream success, which appeals to true metal fans.

The Fascinating World of Bats: Unveiling the Secrets of the Night
The Fascinating World of Bats: Unveiling the Secrets of the Night
Bats, the mysterious creatures of the night, have long been a source of fascination and fear for humans. With their eerie squeaks and fluttering wings, they have captured our imagination and sparked our curiosity. Yet, beyond the myths and legends, bats are fascinating creatures that play a vital role in our ecosystem.
There are over 1,300 species of bats, ranging from the tiny Kitti's hog-nosed bat to the majestic flying foxes. These winged mammals are found in almost every corner of the globe, from the scorching deserts to the lush rainforests. Their diversity is a testament to their adaptability and resilience.
Bats are insectivores, feeding on a vast array of insects, from mosquitoes to beetles. A single bat can consume up to 1,200 insects in an hour, making them a crucial part of our pest control system. By preying on insects that damage crops, bats save the agricultural industry billions of dollars each year.
But bats are not just useful; they are also fascinating creatures. Their ability to fly in complete darkness, using echolocation to navigate and hunt, is a remarkable feat of evolution. They are also social animals, living in colonies and communicating with each other through a complex system of calls and body language.
Despite their importance, bats face numerous threats, from habitat destruction to climate change. Many species are endangered, and conservation efforts are necessary to protect these magnificent creatures.
In conclusion, bats are more than just creatures of the night; they are a vital part of our ecosystem, playing a crucial role in maintaining the balance of nature. By learning more about these fascinating animals, we can appreciate their importance and work to protect them for generations to come. So, let us embrace the beauty and mystery of bats, and celebrate their unique place in our world.

Flat plan deconstruction
- 1. Flat Plan
- 4. For the front cover I took inspiration from two magazines, here is where I got ideas from the First magazine ‘decibel’. The structure of the anchor, the pose of the artist and the graphic on The left hand side. The artist on my front cover mirrors the aggressive look of the artist on the real artists face.
- 5. This highlights where I got inspiration from the second magazine cover from ‘decibel’. I decided to place a pull quote where a graphic would be on the original magazine. Because my artist is female I thought the pose with her holding something would portray her in a more feminine way.
- 6. For my contents page I took inspiration from two magazines. The first, ‘hammer’ magazine, from this magazine I decided to have three columns describing the latest news in the week, the charts and an editor speaks paragraph.
- 7. The second magazine I took inspiration from ‘Kerrang’. From this I decided to have three large pictures at the top apposed to a few pictures scattered around the page. I also decided to have a large header in the middle instead of small one at the top like ‘hammer’.
- 8. For the double page spread, I wanted my artist to look less aggressive so I took inspiration from a ‘bring me the horizon’ page. I wanted this page to be simple so I put a small pull quote in top right corner.
- 9. I took inspiration from the graphics on the magazines page, and the structure of the writing, if like the gothic theme for the page and I think it will fit well with my genre.
