The focus group selected "Encore" as their favorite title for the music magazine and felt it was bold and exciting. They found the font Diffuse-Away was the least appealing as it did not stand out. Comments noted that "Encore" shows the magazine provides extra music information and fulfills readers' needs as an encore performance does. It is a strong, bold title that will stand out on shelves against competitors. The focus group also preferred cover lines that provided advice on becoming a singer, stories about artists' lives, concert and festival reviews, top music charts, behind-the-scenes of events, and competitions.

Task 9
The document discusses initial ideas for an indie/rock music magazine called "Acoustic". It will target a youthful audience. The magazine name and genre were chosen because indie rock often uses acoustic instruments and sounds fresh. Research found the genre is growing and people feel such magazines can increase its popularity. The magazine will use bright colors on the cover to appeal to youth, and feature prominent artist images while also including special content sections. The contents page will be image-focused as preferred. Double page spreads will balance images and text. Photographs will portray the energetic indie rock genre through instruments and plain backgrounds while reflecting typical costumes.
Analysis of existing music magazine
Billboard is an American music magazine that has been published since 1884 and tracks popular songs and albums across various genres and platforms. It aims its content at audiences aged 20-55. The magazine's covers typically feature the masthead logo alongside a celebrity looking directly at the camera, using consistent color schemes and placing the barcode discreetly. Contents pages list the issue number alongside images, charts, and promotional summaries corresponding to the cover story. Articles employ a main artist image, columnar text, captioned supplementary photos, and multicolored pull quotes to highlight key passages.
Music Magazine Conents Analysis
The document summarizes the typical contents of a music magazine. It discusses that the magazine title is prominently displayed to identify the publication. Images take up most of the space and vary in size based on the relevance of the artist or band. Page numbers are formatted differently from article titles to make them easier to see for navigation. Content is usually organized into 3-4 columns separating images, features, and regular articles. The issue date is prominently displayed so readers know which publication they are viewing.

Evaluation Question 1
The document discusses the conventions of alternative music magazine covers, contents pages, and double page spreads. It analyzes how the creator's magazine product followed or challenged these conventions for different sections. For the cover, conventions like band name placement and sell lines were followed to clearly convey brand identity. For the contents page, some conventions like largest images and page numbers were adopted, while advertisements were avoided. Double page spreads primarily focused on music and emotions over minor band details, using relevant images and colloquial language. Overall, the magazine drew from genre conventions while adding distinguishing attributes to prevent blending in too much.
Front Cover Research
The document provides an analysis of various magazine front covers. It examines design elements like logos, fonts, colors, images and layouts used on the covers. Common elements identified include prominent central images of featured artists, headers and titles in bold or capitalized fonts, barcodes in unobtrusive locations, and listings of additional content inside.

Jay Kee-Pinner's Music Magazine Evaluation
This document evaluates a music magazine called Roar Music in comparison to similar magazines like Kerrang and Rock Sound. It analyzes aspects like layout, design, target audience, and distribution. The target audience of Roar Music is described as alternative people who dress differently and listen to less mainstream music. Bauer Media is proposed as the best company to distribute Roar Music since they already publish the competing Kerrang magazine. The document also reflects on what was learned from the process of constructing the magazine prototype about technologies, design, and making the content more appealing to readers.
Genre research
The document discusses conventions of pop music magazines, including front covers. It describes common elements on covers like images of pop artists, colorful fonts and logos.

Evaluation 1
The document discusses the ways in which the media product, an indie rock/singer-songwriter music magazine called Encore!, challenges and develops conventions of real music magazines. Key points:
1. The magazine uses unconventional house style colors of purple, indigo, lilac and blue instead of typical red to stand out.
2. Layout and design elements like masthead shape, additional page borders, and varied artist poses on covers are also unconventional.
3. Mise-en-scene features like rural backgrounds and indie clothing styles aim to reflect the magazine's indie genre and target audience.
Font and name research
The author conducted polls to choose a name and font style for their new rock/indie music magazine. Readers preferred the name "Chords" and were split between the fonts "Listen" and "Live". To satisfy both groups, the author selected a similar font. The final magazine masthead uses the name "Chords" in a font that combines elements of "Listen" and "Live".
Recovered file 1
The main image features the artist, Lana Del Rey, directly addressing the camera. She has a vintage, retro style conveyed through her hair, makeup, and the background inclusion of a vintage car. While her appearance seems hyper-realistic, it presents her as an indie artist rather than a mainstream pop star. Large bold text spans the top of the image advertising the album title. The color scheme matches the American flag, relating to her patriotic identity. Overall, the advert subverts some conventions by portraying Del Rey in a vintage, classy manner to appeal to indie fans rather than using sex to sell to mainstream audiences.
Evaluation Question 1
This document summarizes how the media product of an indie music magazine front cover, contents page, and double page spread uses and develops conventions of real music magazines while also challenging some conventions. The front cover takes inspiration from magazines like NME and Clash with its masthead design, prominent band image, and use of color. However, it challenges conventions by centering some text. The contents page follows conventions with its masthead, images, and section divisions, but challenges some by adding background to page numbers. The double page spread keeps the color scheme and uses images and highlighted text as is conventional, but challenges conventions through its use of contrasting colors.

The goal is to attract audiences familiar with other music magazines while adding original qualities.

- For layout and design, the student used bright neon colors on a black background to attract the target audience's short attention span.
- Photos were edited in Photoshop to match the "house colors" and create a rave-like feel, bringing the audience close to artists.
- The intended audience is younger people who enjoy dubstep, clubbing, and raves rather than sleeping. Distribution through a magazine like NME could bring this niche audience to a

The author conducted a focus group with three representatives of their target audience to understand what they like in pop magazines. When presented with two magazines, "We Love Pop" and "Top of the Pops", participants generally preferred the brighter colors, larger images and more spread out text in "We Love Pop". They also preferred how the contents page had bigger page numbers and was more visually appealing. However, they liked that the page numbers in "Top of the Pops" were organized by category. Based on the focus group, the author learned that their target audience prefers magazines with vibrant colors, large images, and broken up text over dense blocks of text.

2) Artist/band names are the largest text and positioned above or below photos to initially attract readers, with album names also prominently featured.
3) Contact and label information is provided in smaller text at the bottom for reference, rather than to attract attention like the artist/album names.

Question 3 - Audience feedback answers
The document summarizes feedback from focus groups about a documentary on social media. Participants generally found the topic interesting and felt they learned something about social media. However, some participants said their views on social media did not change and a few felt the scheduling could have been on a weekend night instead of a Sunday. Some also noted issues with sound levels and gaps in the TV listings section.
Interview Questions
This document contains interview questions for several experts on the topic of social media: a psychology teacher, counselor, IT technician, policeman, and members of the general public. The questions are focused on opinions about social media, its impacts and dangers, and educational or relationship-building potential. By interviewing people from different backgrounds, the document aims to get a balanced perspective on social media for a school project.
Applying narrative structure to our documentary
The group has decided on an open narrative structure for their documentary that will leave the audience with unanswered questions and without a concluded ending, allowing viewers to form their own opinions. They also chose a circular structure where the documentary will start and end at the same point in order to avoid taking a stance and instead present balanced arguments on their topic. The documentary will focus on theorist Claude Levi-Strauss to incorporate the binary opposition and contrast he discussed, which fits with the goal of an unbiased, non-conclusive presentation that leaves the conclusion up to the audience.
Narrative Theories
The document discusses several theorists' perspectives on narrative theories:
- Tzetvan Todorov theorized that all stories follow the same pattern of equilibrium, disruption of equilibrium, and return to equilibrium.
- Vladimir Propp identified common character types that appear across narratives, including villains, donors, helpers, princesses, false heroes, dispatchers, heroes, and fathers.
- Claude Levi-Strauss saw narratives as using binary oppositions and codes to convey meaning and opinions to audiences.
- Roland Barthes said narratives are told through codes that control how information is provided, such as an enigma code to set up and resolve mysteries or an action code that advances the plot through action.
Questionnaire feedback on my final product
The document appears to be a questionnaire given to a target audience aged 15-20 to gather feedback on a magazine the author has produced. Most respondents said they would be willing to pay between £2-2.99 for the magazine, which is the price point the author has set. Respondents also said they would recommend the magazine to others their age and liked the images used. The feedback was mostly positive and suggests the magazine is successfully appealing to its target demographic.
Question 3
Bauer Media Group would be a suitable company to distribute the author's pop magazine "Encore" internationally since it publishes over 300 magazines reaching 38 million readers per week across 15 countries. While Bauer publishes similar magazines like Q that could compete with Encore, their wide reach and experience in the music magazine space would help introduce Encore to the target audience of women aged 15-20 globally. However, competing with Bauer's established magazines like Q could also disadvantage a new magazine like Encore.
Drafts for my music magazine
This document contains draft designs and layouts for a music magazine created by the author. It includes initial drafts of the cover page with different image choices and band names considered. Later drafts showcase a double page article layout with a large pull quote, summary, and interview questions on the left page and a full-width band image on the right. The drafts were created in Word as practice runs before finalizing the design in Photoshop and InDesign.

Part 2 Deep Dive: Navigating the 2024 Slowdown
Introduction
The global retail industry has weathered numerous storms, with the financial crisis of 2008 serving as a poignant reminder of the sector's resilience and adaptability. However, as we navigate the complex landscape of 2024, retailers face a unique set of challenges that demand innovative strategies and a fundamental shift in mindset. This white paper contrasts the impact of the 2008 recession on the retail sector with the current headwinds retailers are grappling with, while offering a comprehensive roadmap for success in this new paradigm.
Understanding User Needs and Satisfying Them
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

Focus group
- 1. FOCUS GROUP Deciding on a Logo and cover lines
- 2. Logo Design
- 3. On 16th December I put together a focus group made up of people that are part of my target audience. Firstly I asked them to decide on their favourite title and font. I found that the most liked title was ‘Encore’ and secondly ‘Repeat’. Therefore I decided to rule out NSP and Pulse as names of my music magazine. The results for the font were quite split, the people I asked said font number 2 (Diffuse-Away) was their least favourite as it did not stand out as much as the rest.
- 4. Here are some of the comments made about the magazine title and font. Overall the title Encore seemed to get the best response and was said to be bold and exciting. I think I will stick with the title/logo ‘ENCORE’ as it is related to music and creates a sense of power. It also shows continuality of the magazine.
- 5. • Definition: Additional performance of an item at the end of a concert, as called for by an audience. • This shows that the magazine provides extra information about music and the magazine will also fulfil the readers needs. • It is a strong bold title (Nova SOLID) and the capitals make it stand out more which makes it more powerful on the shelf when being against competitors.
- 6. I also asked the group what cover lines would be most appealing to them, I they said: “Advice on how to become known as a singer” “Stories about the lives of popular artists” “Concert and festival reviews such as V Festival” “The top 40 to keep it new and up to date” “Exclusive behind the scenes of popular events” “Competitions and offers”
