Who would be the audience for your media product? 
The document summarizes feedback from 3 individuals on a media product. Individual 1 felt the bright colors and vivid titles kept people interested, and it engaged a particular genre of readers. Individual 2 said the bright text stood out and there were plenty of photos, showing the music genre it was directed towards, though a wider color range could be used. Individual 3 noted the photos and headlines stood out but the photos could have more varied poses and expressions, and use more colors to be less dull.
Focus group
The document contains questions about design preferences for an indie music magazine, including elements typically found on the front cover (band images, cover lines), double page spreads (image to text ratios), and contents page (number of images, inclusion of editor's note and band reviews). Responses would provide insights into the visual style and typical coverage expected in a magazine catering to indie music fans.
Comparison between 2 different blogs
This document compares the differences between a journalism blog and a food blog. For the journalism blog, a serif font is used to convey seriousness, the border is simple to focus on content, and more words than pictures are used along with a dim background to build credibility. For the food blog, a sans serif font is used to seem cute and relaxed, the border allows browsing previous blogs, pictures with minimal words are used to recommend food, and a light background relaxes readers. The journalism blog has formal, professional content for an educated audience, while the food blog has casual content using conversational words to be understood by those seeking lighthearted consumption like students and travelers.
Q1
Both magazines have slogans and use two strong color schemes. The magazines also use downloadable barcodes. The student magazine differs from the professional magazine in its burgundy color scheme versus a vibrant red, original background photo versus artificial background, and captions listed down the side versus spread out. The professional magazine has a large main image that takes up more space as a close-up shot, while the student magazine has a smaller long-shot image. Additionally, the professional magazine has a bold masthead blocked by the main image, while the student magazine has a thin easily read masthead. Finally, the student magazine has more captions condensed on the front page compared to the professional magazine's fewer scattered captions.
Brainstorm, front cover, contents and double
The document provides examples of designs for the front cover, contents page, and double page spreads for a magazine called "Thrash!".
The front cover designs either focus on one strong picture with lots of writing or multiple good pictures. The contents page designs either focus on showing many images to entice readers or one large image with some text and smaller pictures.
The double page spread designs either contain all text in one area with the title on or in the picture, or split the text over two columns to better showcase a full-page image with the title at the bottom.
Contents page analysis 1
The document discusses the layout and design elements used in two different magazine issues. It notes that both issues use a consistent house style and layout to provide continuity across issues. For the first issue, it describes how the rule of thirds was used for the cover image, how the contents page was split horizontally for visual balance, and how a limited number of images were included to avoid clutter. Fonts and formatting are also used consistently to guide the reader through important sections. Similar techniques are discussed for the second issue regarding image placement, color balance, and font usage.
Creating my products
The document summarizes revisions made to draft designs for a music magazine, its front cover, and double page spread. The first drafts used fonts and images that did not suit the genre or grab readers' attention. Blank spaces and weak layouts also hurt the designs. The final drafts featured more appealing fonts aligned with the genre, a variety of fonts for visual interest, stronger images that filled blank spaces, and color schemes linking all elements together to create a more cohesive and engaging overall package.
Question 1
The document describes how the media product, a magazine, uses and develops conventions from real music magazines. It discusses using rules of thirds on the cover, cover lines overlapping the model like music magazines. While some use close-ups, it uses a medium close-up to show more of the artist. It also includes elements like barcodes, footers, contents listings, mastheads, and "every issue" sections commonly seen in music magazines. The article pages also follow conventions through consistent house style, drop caps, italicized titles, quotes, and subtitles.

The document discusses three interviews conducted for a documentary about social networks and social media. Mike Hatton, a media teacher, was interviewed to provide information about social media from an educational perspective. Richard Jones, a media technician, was interviewed to discuss his experience creating blogs and YouTube accounts for students and share the college's view of social networking sites. Frances Jones, a sociology teacher, was interviewed to offer insight into how socializing online has impacted people from a sociological perspective and give her opinions on the topic.
Questionnaire Results
The document summarizes the results of a 10 question questionnaire. It found that 92% of respondents use social networking sites, most commonly Facebook and Twitter. The majority of respondents were between 16-21 years old and use social media to connect with friends and socialize. Respondents indicated that social media patterns have changed since younger ages, shifting from gaming to connecting. Around 75% correctly understood that 3 in 4 people worldwide use social media, and over half watched documentaries.
Email research
The document describes various emails sent to arrange interviews for a documentary project. An email was received from Hayley, a psychologist, confirming her availability for an interview. However, due to scheduling conflicts they were unable to interview her. Emails were also sent to Kamil, a business teacher, and Nicky, the head of management at a library, but they also could not be interviewed. An email exchange was had with Dave, the CEO of a sustainability company, to arrange an expert interview on the business aspects of social networking for the documentary.
Analysis of Double Page Spread-Radio Times
The document summarizes a double page spread from the magazine Radio Times. It is split into four columns with the main focus on images, including a large central image of Eric and Ernie. The colors used are red, black, white, and grey to create a simple yet bold design. Text is kept concise to appeal to readers who prefer images over large blocks of text. Key elements like headings, bylines, and page numbers follow standard magazine conventions.
Target audience
Our documentary focuses on how social networking sites affect students. It will examine how students are the biggest users of social media and how this extensive use can impact them. By targeting the student demographic, our documentary aims to educate them about the effects of social networking so they can help spread this message to others.

It summarizes that Catfish uses a globe opening to symbolize social networking globally and extreme close-ups of screens to show its focus on technology. Too Poor for Posh School uses music to set the tone and clever shots to engage audiences. My Big Fat Royal Gypsy Wedding uses fast-paced edits in its opening to quickly introduce the topic and a title sequence to excite viewers.
How has our research helped us towards our documentary
The researchers conducted primary and secondary research in multiple ways for their documentary. The primary research through surveys of their target audience was useful to get viewer opinions and create a credible documentary that meets their needs. The factual information from secondary research helped the researchers gain a better understanding of social networking to effectively convey this insight in their documentary.
Final proposal
Our documentary will examine the effects of social networking on students through a balanced, expository lens. We will interview students, teachers, and conduct a questionnaire to understand social media's impact from different perspectives. The documentary will have a formal voiceover and include stock footage of students using social media online and on their phones. We will conduct primary research through surveys and a focus group, and secondary research using recent statistics about social networking habits.
Questionnaire Results
The document summarizes the results of a 10 question questionnaire about social networking usage. It found that 92% of respondents use social networking sites, most commonly Facebook and Twitter. The majority of respondents were between 16-21 years old. Most people use social networking to connect with friends and socialize rather than for business purposes. Attitudes towards social networking have changed since respondents were younger, shifting from gaming to connecting with others. The document also provides statistics on global social networking usage.
What is social networking
The first social networking site was email, which allowed people to exchange digital messages as early as 1971. Social networks later developed on the internet, allowing users to communicate and share information through profiles and posts. Today, over 1.7 billion people worldwide use social media, with Facebook alone having over 1.4 billion users. While social networks allow people to stay connected and share updates, they can also negatively impact privacy and lead to distractions or overuse.
Question five
The document discusses design choices for a magazine called "JHEEZ". It describes using red for the masthead to make it stand out, and enlarging the z in the name. It also mentions including a competition to attract readers and buy the magazine. An exclusive interview with Chris and Rihanna is highlighted on the cover to appeal to the target teenage audience. The price of £1.50 is kept low to encourage initial sales as it is a new magazine. The contents page uses varied images of artists to give a flavor of what is inside. Bold colors are used against a black background following the color scheme without being too bright. Competitions are highlighted to engage readers. An article uses questions and answers split between
Task 2
The magazine uses a pink color scheme and images of boy bands to appeal to its young, female target audience. There is no single dominant image on the cover, focusing more on cover lines. Inside, article pages use pink banners and mastheads for branding and easy-to-read fonts with short sentences and many images. Advertisements blend in with the page layout and color scheme rather than standing out.
Evaluation Q1
The document provides details on the layout and design choices for a magazine spread. Key elements include a masthead in green and red colors at the top, a date, price, and barcode in the top right corner. Cover lines are placed in a C-shape and the main image features an artist making eye contact. Promotional offers, a clothing voucher, and consistent color scheme are included. The double page spread uses a large image of the artist and keeps the same font and color scheme throughout the interview-style article.
Evaluation Q6
The document discusses the equipment and software used to create a magazine. The author took photos with a digital camera and learned to import them into Adobe programs like Photoshop and InDesign. These Adobe programs allowed the author to effectively manipulate many aspects of the magazine, like images, fonts, colors and textures to construct the magazine pages.
Evalutation Q1
This magazine product uses conventions of real magazines such as:
- A masthead at the top of the front cover and contents page
- Placement of the barcode, date, price and cover lines on the front cover
- Consistent color scheme and fonts throughout
- Inclusion of promotional offers, clothing vouchers, and album information
- Double page spreads with large images and article layouts using interviews
