This document discusses the codes and conventions used in magazine double page spreads. It identifies several key elements including the headline, main image, secondary images, drop cap, date line, page numbers, quotes, columns, byline, magazine title, color scheme, and layout. The headline is meant to attract readers with a catchy title that indicates the article topic. The main image also aims to attract readers and should relate to the article topic. Secondary images, quotes, and columns are used to break up text and add visual interest. Consistent use of these elements in their proper positions according to an organized layout and color scheme helps make the double page spread professional and easy for readers to understand.
This contents page from Q Magazine is neatly structured with text in boxes separated from images. A photo of the band The Courteeners dominates the center of the page with text and headings around the edges. The layout uses a balanced ratio of images to text so it is attractive but still informative. Section headings in bold capital letters stand out and entice readers to learn more. The consistent use of the magazine's signature red and white color scheme and logo makes the contents recognizable.
The document analyzes and compares the design of content pages from three magazines. For the first magazine: the date font is clear, the headings are in bold for emphasis, the page number is large for visibility, and an image draws attention. Color comes from images while text is black. The second magazine has a strip highlighting the blue heading, a line separates the page number, and titles are in bold. The third places the year and season under the heading, uses a grid of images, and differentiates elements by font and color. Common aspects analyzed include layout, emphasis techniques, and use of images and color.

- The band's name appears in a bold, blue font in the bottom right corner to identify the subject and draw in fans at a glance.
- A sub-headline above the main article teases that the information will be about the band's "new sound of sacrifice."
- Black and white colors and a single column layout imply a simple, mature style befitting the indie/rock genre.
- The dominant band photo is positioned low key but uses professional lighting to enhance the members' faces and attract both male and female readers.
- Informal language with
This document contains summaries of several magazine contents pages:
1) The first contents page draws attention with its split title across three lines and unique layout. It uses bold capital letters and white text on black for visibility.
2) The second uses a posed model forming a 'V' to represent the magazine title. Pictures surround the contents for background. Page numbers by images aid navigation.
3) The third displays a variety of articles and sections to demonstrate value. It uses repetition of the logo and online link for continuity. Columns, boxes, and limited colors/fonts guide the reader's eyes.
This document analyzes and summarizes several magazine front covers and film posters. It discusses conventions used such as placement of titles, images, text and other elements. Across the covers and posters, common techniques are used like large prominent images, titles at the top, and credits and dates placed discretely. However, some pieces analyzed have unique design choices like unconventional barcode or title placements. Overall, the document examines how the visual designs follow or diverge from standard formatting conventions to engage audiences.
Here are the edits I would make:
What are your favorite meals/ snacks?
I enjoy making veggie "mush" - it's a mix of chopped vegetables and spices blended together. While it may not look appealing, you can use mush to make burgers, soups, or as a topping for baked potatoes. The taste is amazing and it's a nutritious way to get lots of veggies into your diet.
The questionnaire results showed that most listeners tune into the radio daily or weekly. Sound effects and soundtracks were most effective at catching listeners' attention. The majority preferred radio ads to mention regional stories rather than celebrity gossip. Most voted for short ads between 30 seconds and 1 minute 30 seconds. The early morning period from 6am to 9am was most popular for broadcasting ads.
The regional newspaper and its ancillary tasks of billboard posters and radio advertisements need to be effectively linked to build a unified brand identity. The billboard posters will use the logo and color scheme of the regional newspaper to visually connect the two. The radio advertisements will mention key details found in the newspaper, like the date and stories, to create a subtle link between the audio and written forms. Together, sharing visual and subtle details across all media will reinforce the brand of the regional newspaper.
The focus group provided critical feedback on three areas that needed improvement in the radio advertisement draft: 1) The volume levels of the music and voices needed adjusting so each was clear without being sharp, 2) The host's voice was very muffled, and 3) There was an unintended thud at the end. Implementing these changes taught the author about adjusting volume levels effectively, regulating effects on voices, and ensuring a polished final product without mistakes. The feedback showed that audiences have clear expectations for audio quality and content in advertisements.
The document discusses the use of media technologies in the construction, research/planning, and evaluation stages of a billboard poster project.
In construction, Adobe Photoshop CS6 was used extensively to edit and design the poster, including adding text and drop shadows. Photoshop allowed for easy updating of designs based on focus group feedback.
For research and planning, social networking and the internet were used to find example billboard images since the author was in a small town without billboards. PowerPoint was used to analyze the examples clearly with annotations.
In evaluation, Photoshop was again used for edits based on feedback. Presentation software like Prezi was used to create evaluations that could be embedded
The document provides step-by-step documentation of producing a radio advertisement. It describes drafting a script, gathering materials like audio editing software and a microphone, finding non-copyrighted intro music, recording voiceovers, arranging and editing the intro and voices, adding equalization effects, gathering feedback from a focus group, and making revisions to improve sound quality and soften transitions. The goal was to create a high quality radio advertisement within copyright restrictions using available resources.
A radio advertisement promotes the local Shropshire Staffer newspaper. It notes the newspaper has a circulation of 56,000 copies and is the best-selling newspaper in the region. The advertisement highlights some local news stories that will be featured in the current edition, such as a new vehicle manufacturer opening and a housing shortage. It encourages listeners to purchase a copy of the newspaper from their local shop for 45p to read more local news and entertainment listings.
The document analyzes several billboard posters and discusses design elements like background images, color palettes, text, and dimensions. It finds that backgrounds usually reinforce the message, colors are often dark to increase visibility, and messages aim to attract attention and be easy to understand. Neutral messages tend to produce preferred readings while thought-provoking political messages can spark various reactions. The conclusion discusses applying these lessons to creating billboards for a regional newspaper by using dark colors, neutral messages, and standard dimensions.
This document outlines the tasks, timelines, and progress for a project to produce two regional newspaper pages. It describes each step from initial planning through risk assessment, permissions, layout designs, draft creation, focus groups, and final production. Many steps were completed faster than planned due to the creator's experience and preparation, allowing them to stay on schedule. However, other commitments delayed some work and prevented getting ahead of schedule.
This document outlines the planned and actual dates for tasks in a project, including risk assessment, contingency planning, obtaining permissions, creating layout plans, developing a story plan, finalizing a copyright and shooting script, designing a logo, creating adverts, drafting pages for focus groups, editing images and texts, and producing final pages, with most tasks happening between mid-October to early December.
The document outlines a schedule for completing a newspaper project from September 2015 to February 2016. It includes tasks such as researching newspaper history, creating questionnaires, designing newspaper pages, and evaluating the final products. Research is a key part of many tasks to help inform decisions. Feedback will be gathered from peers at various stages and a final evaluation will address questions about the overall project.
The document outlines a schedule for a student newspaper project that includes researching various newspapers, designing layouts and logos, producing draft pages, gathering feedback, and creating ancillary tasks like billboards and radio advertisements. It details tasks from initial planning through final evaluation and submission between September 2015 and February 2016. Contingency time is allotted to catch up if falling behind schedule.
This document outlines the planned and actual dates for tasks in a project, including risk assessment, permissions, layout plans, story planning, drafting, focus groups, editing, and producing final pages, with some tasks taking less time than planned and others occurring as scheduled.
The document analyzes advertisements in different types of newspapers. A regional newspaper, the Shropshire Star, contains many advertisements on the second page for local gardening, furniture, and home products. These would appeal more to countryside readers. An urban paper, Express&Star, shows ads for magazines and guides but not single products, promoting various businesses. A national paper, The Sun, has no ads on the front or second pages, likely because large national/international businesses wouldn't need to advertise in a national newspaper to reach consumers.
The document discusses newspaper logos and names that the author has researched. It analyzes techniques used by newspapers like The Sun, Daily Mail, Daily Telegraph, Express & Star, and Shropshire Star. Alliteration is used by the Shropshire Star and found to make the name easier to remember. Short, simple names like The Sun are also very effective. Longer names are less memorable but can still work if unique. Based on the evaluation, the author decides on the name "Shropshire Staffer" for their regional newspaper, using alliteration and referencing the local county of Shropshire.
This document discusses the images that will be used for stories in a regional newspaper. It provides details on the type of shot, lighting, and purpose for 13 different images. The images will include establishing shots of houses and a charity building to provide context. There will also be long shots and wide shots of houses, construction sites, and buildings. Close ups of a spokesman and computer will use artificial lighting indoors. Other shots like factories and a lawnmower will have natural lighting since they will be taken outside. The goal is to attract readers and help them interpret stories using a variety of visuals according to reception and uses and gratification theories.
This document outlines the planned and actual dates for the stages of a project including risk assessment, contingency planning, obtaining permissions, creating layout plans, developing story plans, addressing copyright, drafting shooting scripts, editing drafts with images and text, and producing final pages, with most stages completing close to or on the planned end date except for layout plans and editing, which took slightly longer than planned.
The document outlines the permissions needed for stories and images to be included in a newspaper. Permission is needed to use an image of a house from its owner and to publish an interview with a charity leader and veteran. No other permissions are required as the individuals and events have already consented or are considered fair use. A copyright permission slip grants the newspaper rights to use logos and materials from charities for informational purposes.
The document summarizes the results of a questionnaire given to 20 participants about their newspaper reading habits and preferences. The results showed that most participants read newspapers daily or weekly, with males and older age groups (51-60, 61+) making up the majority of readers. Sports, local information and job advertisements were the most popular sections. Most participants look for newspapers in stores rather than online. Headlines were deemed the most eye-catching part of newspapers, and logos and layouts similar to local papers like The Shropshire Star were preferred over ones like The Sun. The working class was identified as the preferred target audience.
Communicating effectively and consistently with students can help them feel at ease during their learning experience and provide the instructor with a communication trail to track the course's progress. This workshop will take you through constructing an engaging course container to facilitate effective communication.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

2. Fonts
Idsall Scholar
I will be using this font “Trajan Pro” because its appearance is very formal as the design of the font seems to
be a traditional font that could have been used for many decades in newspapers in the past. This why I want
to use this font, its appearance to me and others signals news and information rather than gossip and other
things that are not generally considered academic. The academic style font comes from the fact the font is
very rigid and does not flow and curve like other fonts that are generally used to convey that the magazine is
for music or creativity. As the magazine is for a school and aimed at academic students who want to read
massive texts of information, this style would be perfect for the magazine because it will convey the message
that the magazine has information and more important news inside.
idsall scholar
This font is also good for a school magazine as again the fonts appearance to be very formal and represent
information and academic news but also with an entertaining flare to it. The font seems very fluent as the
letters seem to flow on the screen but yet still have an informative appearance that represents information
rather gossip information. I won’t be using this font though however as I feel the font seems to be to
creative, hinting at gossip and entertainment news rather than academic articles with long articles of writing
rather than plenty of images and colours to engage the reader.
3. Logo
The Idsall voice’s logo is a perfect example of what I am NOT doing to do as the
logo is too plain and simple which does not entertain or engage the reader and
therefore the reader will not feel compelled to read the magazine.
idsall scholar
This logo is far better as the font is not some boring font that will bore the reader
and the underline design is perfect for it conveys that academic feel about the
logo and emphasises that the magazine is about academia rather than other
news. To make the title even more appealing to the audience, in the future gold
may be added to the underlining object in sections of the middle and between
the bars to make the logo far more engaging and appealing to the reader as we
do want the reader to be entertained in some degree.
4. Layout (What Not To Do)
This layout is very poor in my opinion because the logo and master
head aren’t in the first third of the magazine and the first thing you
would see is the main image as it catches the ye. This isn’t a good
place to place the main image as it is in the bottom corner, which does
follow the first third rule but there is sub heading standing out to
immediately tell me what the image is about. In addition, the
information on the front cover is tremors, this is highly likely to deter
someone from reading the magazine as large amounts of text and
information is pushed at them. Overall, this layout is poor because it
forces the reader away more than in which is clearly not what a
magazine cover should do.
5. Logo (Design)
This is my design for my layout for the “Idsall Scholar”
which I have gotten inspiration for from many
magazines as I have analysed three magazines which
have give me a good insight into what I should be
doing. The three sub headings will follow the first third
rule and be an easy way to highlight the most
interesting stories and the text about the contents will
be useful to highlight the minor stories that have
happened with a sub image to engage the reader. The
main image is large because it has the purpose of
engaging the reader and by analysing other magazines,
I found that larger images are far more entertaining if it
is of good quality. Overall, I think the design will engage
the reader with snippets of information and large
images rather than launching information at their face
like how Idsall Voice does which just deters students
from reading.
