Media evaluation
This document discusses the conventions used in creating a mock rock music magazine called TRM. It examines the front cover, contents page, and double page spread for conformity to typical rock magazine design. Photos on the front cover and contents page portray musicians energetically playing instruments to fit expectations. Double page spreads use a dark, gloomy atmosphere and low camera angles to make the artists seem powerful. Bauer Media is proposed as a suitable publisher since they currently produce the rock magazine Kerrang, which shares TRM's target male teenage audience. Distributing through an established company like Bauer could help TRM succeed without large initial investment.

Make up your mind mag pros and conds
The document summarizes the strengths and weaknesses of a student magazine listing. Its strengths include an effective color scheme, variety of images from the documentary being featured, and interesting content that engages readers. Other strengths are the use of drop caps, columns, pull quotes, and inclusion of date, time and channel. Weaknesses are that some pictures are cut off, there is not enough focus on makeup application, the columns are split across the page, some images don't relate to the topic, and image quality is poor in places.
Analysis of example student radio trailers
The document analyzes examples of student radio trailers and identifies codes and conventions used. It notes that the examples all followed a similar pattern of announcing the channel and air date, including interviews and facts about the topic. Sounds specific to the topic were used in some to give listeners an idea of the documentary subject. A table lists positives such as announcing broadcast details, using music/sounds, clear script delivery, and interview montages, as well as potential negatives like unclear overlapping voices and irrelevant sound effects.
Representation theory
Representation theory examines how media represent people, places, events and concepts through images, words and sounds. It considers how representations are constructed and how they seem natural to audiences. Representations are selective and involve processes of production, distribution and reception that shape meaning. Audiences interpret representations based on their own experiences and backgrounds.

The document discusses the conventions and unconventional aspects of the student's music magazine media product. It aims to challenge stereotypes and not satisfy the male gaze. While the magazine challenges conventions of large magazines, it follows conventions of smaller independent magazines in its monthly publication schedule and basic masthead design. Unconventionally, it places page numbers at the top and uses variations of the same font throughout. The target audience is identified as a split gender group aged 16-25 who are interested in music, style and left-leaning politics. The magazine aims to represent groups in a non-stereotypical way and break down barriers, though fails to represent ethnic diversity due to the demographics of the local area. It would be distributed
