Competition
My magazine focuses on the pop genre and its main competitors are "We Love Pop" and "Top of the Pops" magazines. These competitors use bright colors and close-up dominant images on their covers along with smaller supporting images and text. My magazine would stand out by using pastel colors instead of bright colors for its color scheme, and it would include a large dominant main image taking up most of the cover along with surrounding smaller supporting images and text to catch readers' attention without taking away from the central image.
Question 5
The document discusses how the author addressed their audience in their music magazine. In the front cover, they used the color red for the masthead to attract attention from a distance against a black background. On the contents page, they put the writing in front of black boxes to make it stand out and included page numbers by artists to help readers find spreads. In double page spreads, they used a variety of camera shots including long shots to show full body images of artists dressed in current young fashion trends.
Evaluation
My media product was influenced by magazines like NME and Q. It represents an alternative indie audience interested in blues music. IPC would be a suitable distributor as they support less mainstream brands. The target audience is a younger generation interested in feeling like they discovered new artists. In constructing the product, I learned to use technologies like Photoshop, blogs, and Slideshare effectively. From the preliminary to full product, I progressed in making the magazine cover more professional and real.
Q2. how does your media product represent
The document discusses how a music magazine represents the indie social group through its design elements. The front cover features a model wearing vintage, casual clothing to depict the indie aesthetic of not following fashion trends. The name "The Alt." represents indie music as an alternative genre. The contents page uses broad color palette to reflect the wide variety of indie music genres. Photographs in the magazine, such as of a band performing at a gig, represent common indie interests and values of independence from major labels. The overall design has a relaxed, quirky style through elements like pixelated images and informal language, capturing the laidback attitude of the indie lifestyle.
James Blunt Music Identity
James Blunt's album artwork and image has changed over time. His early albums used abstract, simplistic art to portray an indie image, whereas his newer artwork shows him as more polished and professionally dressed, indicating his transition to a mainstream pop star. Similarly, his early music videos featured a natural, low-key style through remote locations and minimal production, while his recent videos use brighter colors, more performers, and energetic lighting to portray a larger, more popular persona. Throughout his career, his videos emphasize narrative and live performances to create a personal connection with audiences.
Question 2
The document discusses the creation of ancillary texts, including a digipak and poster, for a drum and bass music video. The digipak features manipulated graffiti imagery to relate to the urban feel of the music video. Additional features were kept minimal to avoid being too busy. Feedback confirmed the ancillary texts fit well with the drum and bass genre and complemented the music video as intended.
Creation of my magazine advertisement
The document describes how the creator made a magazine advertisement for their CD using Adobe Photoshop. They took a picture of themselves holding a CD, cut out the photo, and added their custom CD cover design. They also included their titles and information. Inspired by a Mumford and Sons advertisement, they made their ad more eye-catching by including their hands holding the CD to involve viewers and make the CD design familiar.
Potential photographs.
1) This document discusses potential photographs for a music magazine, with the author analyzing each photo's suitability and planned placement.
2) Several photos are selected to attract different music audiences, such as one showing a musical instrument, and another showing people dressed for a music awards section.
3) Other photos aim to appeal to target demographics like indie fans or the youth, with artistic or powerful lighting effects. While most are chosen, one photo looks too staged to include.

Question 1
The document discusses how the student's media product uses and develops conventions of real indie music videos.
The title of the artist, album, and song are conventional to the indie genre. The locations used in the music video, including woodlands and water, are also conventional and reflect the song lyrics.
The costumes and makeup are important for portraying the artist as trendy and allowing creative expression, without challenging conventions. The camerawork and editing employ techniques like close-ups and tracking shots that are common for promoting the independent artist.
While some indie music videos have narratives and others are more journey-based, the student's portrays a journey of self-discovery, making it seem professionally produced while fulfilling audience
Evaluation 5
The document discusses strategies for designing a pop magazine to attract a young target audience. The magazine focuses on the artist Daniel Archibold. Photos use a white background and bright lighting to keep the artist the focus. Daniel is dressed casually but trendy to appear relatable. Facial expressions are relaxed smiles to seem welcoming rather than overly sexual. Hair and makeup are kept natural to show Daniel's authenticity. The magazine has a youthful, feminine style with bold colors like blue, purple and red. Photos are medium closeups so viewers can see Daniel's relaxed, confident body language. Minor editing improves vibrancy but keeps Daniel's natural features to attract a female audience.
Ben howard
The document provides an analysis of a magazine advertisement for musician Ben Howard. It describes Ben Howard as the main character, an independent artist who enjoys swimming and nature. The single image shows Howard swimming alone at sea, creating a sense of mystery. Various shades of blue are used throughout the ad to represent communication, ideals, and the unknown. The bold yet simple typography and color scheme portray Howard as a calm, unique indie artist.
Music magazine research ideas contents page
For the contents page of her first magazine idea, the author plans to feature a faded background photo of her front cover model portrayed as Nicole Scherzinger in different outfits and poses. The contents page will have a simple but vibrant design with grey and white colors. For her backup Bollywood music-themed idea, the contents page would showcase the same model in brighter shots wearing traditional Bollywood outfits to match the livelier magazine style.
Evaluation question 2
The document discusses how different social groups are represented in a music magazine media product. It shows both female and male models equally to make the magazine appealing to both genders. The models are portrayed as individuals through unique styles while also setting trends. All models are between ages 16-18, but makeup, clothing and lighting make some appear older to appeal to the target age range of 16-21. The indie music genre featured is represented as relatively middle class through the depiction of musical talent and instrument playing, a skill associated with that social class. A male model holding a guitar engages the audience and represents the classic indie convention of skilled music performance.
Publication plan
The magazine will be called "playlist" to relate to how people create playlists of their favorite music. It will be released every two weeks to keep up with the frequent developments in pop music. The magazine will be priced at £2.50 to target older teenagers without being too expensive given its biweekly release schedule. The positioning statement is "play it out, play it loud" to relate to the music content, and each cover will feature a mid-shot of a smiling person with writing and bright colors.
Idea's for Digipacks; Pictures I Have Chosen
The document discusses potential images to include in a digipack and poster for a music video. It describes black and white images that were used in flashback scenes and how they could give an "older, fashionable, and artistic" style. Prop and furnishing images are proposed that represent the vintage and unique style of the artist Melanie Martinez. Photos of the main artist and a masked character are also suggested to draw attention and interest in the music video's genre of blending "happy, upbeat tones alongside darker lyrics and hidden messages."
Mood board
The document discusses using different backgrounds and settings for photography in a music magazine. It mentions using a studio with plain backgrounds, a green screen to edit effects, natural surroundings that are accessible, city monuments to provide a sense of journey, and instruments to indicate the music genre being photographed. It also discusses using appropriate clothing, lighting equipment, and different poses in photos to effectively capture artists and represent the music genre on the magazine cover.

Question 2 how does your media product represent
This document summarizes how the media product represents the social group of indie music fans. Photographs show people wearing indie-style clothing and in environments that provide context. The language used in the magazine is informal to appeal to the 16-28 year old target audience. Cover lines focus on indie bands to attract that audience. Colors like red, white and black are used because those were popular in a questionnaire and are common in other indie magazines.
Presentation1 question 2 media(1)
This document describes how the author's media product, a music magazine, represents the social group of hip-hop culture. The front cover features the author's uncle posing in a way that conveys how hip-hop helped improve his life and can inspire others. The clothing and pose are meant to symbolize the hip-hop genre. The contents page also features a model in hip-hop style clothing at different ages to appeal to readers ages 15-17 and show hip-hop appeals to all ages. The article pages feature models dressed like hip-hop artists in hoodies and headphones to represent how fans of the genre dress and include an image of Kanye West, known for wearing similar attire.
Digipak Analysis (Inside Cover)
The document discusses including a short biography and everyday pictures of the unsigned artist Jose Vanders in the digipak to present her as down-to-earth and relatable to her target audience of young girls. It also mentions adding a handwritten thank you message from Jose to make the audience feel appreciated and improve their relationship with the artist.
Looking back at the preliminary task what do
From my preliminary task to the final magazine product, I learned how to better use my camera equipment and manage lighting and backdrops. I also improved at managing human resources like models, having to find someone specifically fitting for an indie pop magazine. Time management was more important for the final product, allowing for retakes if needed. My creative decisions changed significantly from the preliminary task, requiring audience research on indie pop genres. Problem solving for image editing was needed due to my model's frizzy hair not cutting out cleanly. Props like a guitar and costumes like a bright Hawaiian shirt helped achieve the indie pop aesthetic.
Evaluation
The document discusses album artwork and an advertisement poster created for a new artist named Ellie. For the album artwork, natural landscape images and colors were used to represent the artist's rustic and forest-centered themes. The artist's name is kept small to reflect that she is new. For the poster, a more vibrant and edgy look was used to bring her live shows to life, and the album artwork was included to advertise on multiple levels. Both pieces relate to a video being used to take photos for the artwork.
Our idea
The group has chosen the song "Alone In This" by The Shape Of The Earth for their music video. They picked this indie rock song because it has a slow pace and climax that can be portrayed effectively. Their idea is to show a girl traveling alone around the country through a handheld camera style to depict her loneliness. Along the way she meets people but still feels alone, even when surrounded by others. Past music videos and films with similar themes inspired the group's camera angles and style for effectively linking the visuals with the song.
Serena Keogh-LO3- Photoshoot Plan
Serena Keogh will photograph Will for the cover and spread of her new music magazine called "Simply Sound." She chose a medium close-up shot to showcase his facial expressions that represent the magazine's music genre and artists. The lighting will be high key and she asked him not to smile to match the inspiration magazine's style. Originally she planned for two female models but changed it to one male, Will, to appeal to both genders. The photoshoot will take place in a photography studio.
Introduction to Coursework

The document discusses album artwork and a tour poster created for a new artist named Ellie. For the album artwork, a landscape photo was used as a wrap around background to match the forest theme of Ellie's music. Her name is kept small to not define her yet by her name alone. For the tour poster, the album artwork was included and the font was made more edgy to bring her live shows to life while still connecting the two pieces of artwork to promote recognition as a new artist.

Conventions
The document evaluates different design elements of a magazine cover and contents page created by the author against conventions of real music magazines.
For the front cover, the author used a comic book-style image which challenges magazine conventions but is influenced by other magazines. Color scheme and masthead placement follow indie magazine stereotypes but price/date separation improves readability.
The contents page uses bright colors and manipulated images to appeal to a younger audience, in contrast to researched magazines. Informal writing style and mix of fonts make the text relatable. A studio photo shows the band in an atypical pose.
The double-page spread has more color than researched magazines, making it inviting to read. Background and overlay

The document summarizes the conventions used in the creator's teen pop music magazine. Some of the conventions included using a central masthead like magazine "Bliss", featuring Taylor Swift as a cover model and interview subject similar to "Bliss", and using a variety of indoor and outdoor photo shoot images. The creator also developed some of their own conventions, like using a lighter purple/blue color scheme instead of bright pink and taking photos on separate days to show a process. Feedback confirmed the magazine appealed to its target 13-15 year old audience.

This magazine targets 17-27 year olds interested in indie/rock music. To represent this group, the magazine includes a music festival competition, focuses on artists who play instruments like guitar, and features models dressed in clothing found at stores like Urban Outfitters. While some stereotypes of the genre include substance use, the magazine avoids explicit images and focuses more on the music and fashion to represent its target audience. Photos are taken at locations this group would visit, like homes and outdoor areas, with lighting, poses, and language designed to engage younger readers interested in indie culture.
eval q5
The document discusses how the author addressed their target audience of 15+ male and female students interested in mixed genres of music for their music magazine. They used neutral blue and red colors to appeal to both genders. They included previews or "puffs" of free concerts on the cover to attract students with little money. Short descriptive phrases or "slugs" were included to help readers easily identify article topics. Photos of artists showed a range of shot sizes - long shots to see full outfits, and closeups to connect readers to the featured artist. Upcoming YouTube artists were mentioned to appeal to their audience's internet interests. The language and tone was witty without being dull or too educated to keep students engaged.
Presentation1 Jena
This magazine targets 17-27 year olds interested in indie/rock music. Stereotypes of this group include being hippies who smoke, drink, do drugs and have piercings/tattoos. The magazine represents this group while avoiding explicit images by including competitions, articles about music/festivals, and studio photos of casually dressed models with guitars. It uses proper English but an informal tone. A red/grey/white color scheme and affordable £2 price also appeal to this audience.
Media evaluation presentation
The document summarizes a student's media project to create a music magazine focused on dubstep music. Some key points:
- The student analyzed existing music magazines to understand conventions like features pages, contents pages, and front covers.
- 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
How did you attract your audience
The document discusses how the author attracted their target audience for a hip-hop/rap music magazine. Through a questionnaire, the author found that their audience did not like bright, flashy colors. So the author used subtle colors in the magazine. Images on the cover and inside featured casually dressed models and people to appeal to both male and female readers interested in the genre. Different fonts and column layouts were used throughout to make the content easily readable and to guide the audience to specific articles and sections.
Evaluation
The document summarizes the key aspects of designing a music magazine targeting Dubstep and Chillstep listeners ages 15-28. It describes using relatable language, images of DJs, and tertiary brown/orange colors that relate to the music's feel. The magazine would be published by IPC Media, targeting a niche music audience like Q Magazine does for rock music. The magazine would attract readers through colors and images that connect them to the genres and make them feel the magazine understands the music. Photographs were taken with a Canon camera and edited in Fireworks, and the magazine was shared online using Blogger and Slideshare.
Evaluation(Q5)
The document discusses how different elements of a magazine design attract and address the intended audience. It analyzes the cover page, contents page, double page spread, photography, color scheme, fonts, and writing style. For each element, it describes design choices that would appeal to the target audience of 18-24 year olds interested in alternative rock music. These include using bright colors, modern layouts, unique fonts, casual yet informative writing, and imagery focusing on fashionable clothing and music festival scenes. The goal is to create a magazine that visually stands out while relating to and representing the expected preferences of the young adult reader demographic.
Question 1 Evaluation
The document discusses how the media product uses and develops conventions of real music magazines. It summarizes the choices made in designing elements like the masthead, photography, costumes, fonts, layouts, and written content. Overall, the document aims to follow conventions to look like a real magazine but also make it original to suit the indie/soul genre targeted audience. The designer strived to balance following conventions with adding uniqueness.
Audience and representation
The document discusses design choices made for a music magazine targeting 15-24 year olds. Bright colors were used for the model's top and backgrounds to catch the eye of the target audience accustomed to vibrant images online and in music magazines. An unconventional pose with the model's hands in her hair was chosen to seem more personal and edgy. The informal language and chatty interview style also reflect how the target age range communicates daily.
Evaluation
The document is an evaluation of a magazine called RELOAD! created by the author. Some key points:
- The front cover was inspired by DJ Mag in its font, layout, imagery and use of bright colors. Unstaged photos were used to seem more authentic.
- The contents page uses consistent purple headings to aid navigation. Imagery breaks up text and photos seem unstaged like a real night out.
- A double page interview features a play on words title and uses numerous unstaged images along with a Q&A in different fonts for clarity.

How did you attract/address your audience?
The document discusses the design choices made for the front cover, contents page, and double page spread of a magazine. For the front cover, bold fonts and positioning were used to make the masthead stand out despite not using bright colors. The contents page uses neutral colors to avoid appearing aimed at one gender, and includes images of bands featured in the magazine. The double page spread uses informal language for the interview to better engage the target teenage audience, and an image from the cover shoot to attract readers to the article about a band around the same age.
Question 2
The magazine is aimed at a young female teenage audience. The front cover uses bright colors and a retro-styled dress to represent this target group. The name "Loud" was chosen to represent the target readers who prefer loud, modern music over classical. Pictures inside feature a male pop star to appeal to girls who want posters and news about their favorite artists. A double page article uses a bright, colorful picture that is intended to stand out and catch readers' attention in line with the social group.
Evaluation Question 5
The document discusses how the author addressed their audience when constructing a magazine. They used Blumler and Katz's Uses and Gratifications media theory to understand that people choose media and messages that benefit themselves. To appeal to different readers, the author included subliminal messages and used a gender-neutral color scheme. For the cover, they featured an attractive 18-year-old female model in order to appeal to their target audience. They also used a combination of pastel and dark colors to appeal to both sides of indie music. Feedback showed that readers liked the color scheme and link between the purple lips and masthead, and the author updated the cover lines to make them more legible against the busy background image.
Evaluation
The document discusses the development of a music magazine focused on the indie genre. It describes how the creator challenged their initial cover idea of a gloomy outdoor shoot, deciding it was too heavy for indie and instead choosing a simple image of the cover star holding an acoustic guitar. It also discusses how they have portrayed subjects in the magazine to appeal to indie music fans in terms of gender, age, and genre representation. The creator aims to distribute the magazine through established companies like Bauer to reach their target 18-22 year old audience.
Question 5
The document discusses strategies used in a magazine cover and contents page to attract a target teenage audience. Key strategies included using casual, natural poses and clothing to appeal to indie music fans; including freebies and competitions to encourage purchasing; and using bright colors, impact font, and images of artists to catch readers' attention. Social media addresses were included to make it easy for teens to find the magazine online.
Evaluation all
The document discusses how the media product challenges conventions of real music magazines. While many elements follow conventions like catchy mastheads in red font and balanced layouts, some unconventional aspects are intended to grab readers' attention, such as using black and white photos and arranging text in unique shapes. The goal is to balance familiarity with originality to produce a magazine that engages audiences.

Conventions
The document discusses the design choices made for various elements of a magazine cover and interior, including:
- The front cover uses a comic book-inspired design which challenges magazine conventions. Color schemes and masthead placement follow typical indie magazine formats.
- The contents page uses bright colors, manipulated images, and informal writing to appeal to a younger audience compared to other music magazines.
- The double-page spread features a colorful "cork board" design with notes, photos and varied fonts to look more inviting and personal than typical magazine spreads. More photos could have improved the range of images.
Media research 2
The document analyzes the design elements of several music magazine covers, including color schemes, photography, writing styles, and layouts. It finds that the covers generally use simple designs that represent the genres and images of the featured bands. Punk magazines emphasize rebelliousness through bright colors and informal fonts and layouts. Older band covers depict the artists as established through historic photos and classic color schemes. Overall, the covers are designed to attract intended audiences through visuals that align with the musicians' brands.
Social group evaluation
The document discusses how a magazine represents various social groups in its target audience. The magazine targets middle-class 16-18 year old indie teenagers. While trying to represent both genders equally, the magazine seems to support typical male stereotypes more than female stereotypes. The target audience would read the magazine to find information on their favorite bands, festivals, and gossip, as well as for social interaction and entertainment.
Social group evaluation
The document discusses how a magazine represents various social groups in its target audience. The magazine targets middle-class 16-18 year old indie teenagers. While trying to represent both genders equally, the magazine seems to support typical male stereotypes more than female stereotypes through the characters and articles featured. The target audience would read the magazine to find information on their favorite bands and music, to feel part of a larger community through shared interests, and for entertainment and escapism from other responsibilities.
Conventions
The document evaluates the media product's use of magazine conventions and design elements. It summarizes how certain design choices either conform to or challenge conventions from real magazines like NME and Mojo. For the front cover, a comic book style was used which challenges conventions but was influenced by Sin City. Color schemes follow an indie style but add orange to make it unique. Fonts and writing styles aim to grab attention and relate to readers, while images aim to represent bands in atypical ways.
Evaluation
The media product challenges conventions of magazines by using a comic book-style front cover image rather than typical magazine covers. While the masthead placement at the top follows magazine conventions, the image is placed over the masthead for emphasis. Unlike some magazines, the price, date, and barcode are separated rather than combined to make them easier to read given the unique layout. The color scheme and cover text styles also relate to or differ from conventions of other magazines.
Looking back at your preliminary task...
The document discusses the progression of the student's work from a preliminary college magazine to a final music magazine project. The student learned how to use new software like Survey Monkey to more easily collect and organize research statistics compared to manual methods. Planning photo shoots required considering lighting and setting. When producing the magazine, the student focused on both software like Photoshop to manipulate images and text as well as hardware, using tools like Lasso, Blur, and Stamp to edit photos and create the magazine layout.
Social group evaluation
The document discusses how a media product represents particular social groups. The creator of an indie music magazine targeted their magazine towards indie teenagers aged 16-18. In designing the magazine, they looked at conventions of other indie and music magazines to represent that social group. Features like images, color schemes, and writing styles were chosen to appeal to and represent their target age group.
Software hardware evaluation
The student learned about various software and hardware used to create a magazine project. They used Microsoft programs like Word to organize and produce work, Facebook and Survey Monkey to conduct audience research, and Blogger to design and publish the magazine. Photoshop was used to design pages of the magazine. A camera was used to take photos for the magazine cover and spreads. A laptop and computer were used to create, plan, and research the project, while a memory stick helped transfer files. Their phone was also used to take pictures and record an evaluation. Without technology like Facebook, Survey Monkey, and email, the project would not have been as efficient.
Who would be the audience for your media product
The document profiles the target audience for a music magazine. It describes them as being predominantly male, aged 16-18 originally but now 16-20. They enjoy rock and indie music, going to concerts and festivals, spending time with friends, and typical hobbies of their age like video games. They have disposable incomes of £20-40 per week which they spend on clothes, music, movies and games. The key aspects they look for in a magazine are new band interviews, articles and stories, with an eye-catching cover. The updated profile is similar but with a higher male percentage and slightly older age range.

How did you attract your audience
- 1. Evaluation How did you attract / address your audience?
- 2. Attracting my Audience I use a mixture of different mastheads on my front cover, contents and double page spread. I have made them informal to make the readers engage more with the informal colours and images such as the tamp on my double page spread. It also gives it a bit of humour.
- 3. My use of bright colour attracts younger audiences in their teens, which is exactly what I wanted to do. However because my target social group was teenagers interested in indie music I couldn't use colours that weren't associated with that social group, such as bright pink or purple. I didn't however want to use the usual red black and white and so decided yellow and orange would be a good mixture. I decided that to
- 5. Addressing my Audience I wanted to connect as well as address my audience which is why I've dressed my band members in the type of clothes my reader profile would wear, things that are comfy, such as hoodies and jeans jumper, but things which are bright and represent their likes such as logo or slogan jackets. The setting for the photographs are in a small music studio and photography studio so that we get two different images for the two different bands. I wanted the contrast because there’s a lot of contrast between the bands and this physically shows the difference . Even though I have targeted one specific social group for my target audience I know that some will like one king of photography and some will like another which is why I’ve used a mixture of studio and like while the band are playing to address different parts of my audience.
