The document describes the process of creating a magazine cover and contents page layout digitally and by hand. The author first hand-drew cover concepts before creating digital mockups in Fireworks. For the cover, the second concept was chosen, which featured text surrounding the main image with additional "puffs" of text. For the contents page, initial hand-drawn concepts placed the masthead and text/images in different configurations. Digital mockups in Fireworks allowed refining the layouts. The final contents page featured columns of text separated by images with boxed sections. For the double-page spread, two initial concepts arranged images and text differently. Digital revisions refined the layouts before selecting the second

Creating my double page spread
The document describes the process of creating a double page spread for a magazine article. The author created a collage by merging and removing backgrounds from four images. Text and the images were arranged on a blue background. The background was later changed to brown to better complement the text. Page numbers and website details were added in yellow to stand out against the other colors used. The final spread uses colors consistently to create a distinctive house style for the magazine.
Question 1
Katie Banner's cover page uses conventions of music magazines by including a banner and skyline with information. The mid-shot image on the cover page develops codes by incorporating more background while the lack of direct eye contact from one band member challenges conventions. The contents page uses a banner but could improve spacing while developing columns and font sizes to include more images. The DPS uses related images and develops the title convention though could have benefitted from including the magazine name and website.
Production of front cover
The document summarizes the steps taken to design a magazine cover page layout. Key points include:
1) The main image was cropped and edited to make it more clear. Additional elements like a title, subtitle, and cover lines were added to frame and draw attention to the image.
2) Multiple revisions were made, including removing some cover lines and a shape to make room for stretching the main cover line across the page.
3) In final changes, elements were repositioned and the barcode was moved closer to the edge to improve the overall composition and focus on the main image and cover line.
Making The Contents
The document summarizes the steps taken to design the contents page of a magazine, including importing and editing an image, adding various layers of text in different styles and colors, and positioning page numbers and article descriptions to clearly convey essential information to readers. Key elements like the main image, "features" bar, article titles, and page numbers are designed and styled intentionally to draw readers in and guide them to the magazine's most important content.
Cover and contents draft analysis
This document contains drafts for the cover and contents page of a magazine. The cover draft includes the main cover line "Emily: An inspiring story" and additional lines, with notes on image placement following the rule of thirds. The contents page draft includes 3 images corresponding to the cover lines and ensures enough space for the title, images, and content. Both drafts are designed to have consistent titles and visually appealing style.
Creating my cover page
The document describes revisions made to a magazine masthead and cover design. Key changes included:
1) Spreading the masthead title across two lines to the left of the cover to allow more space, challenging magazine conventions.
2) Changing the background color from pink to blue to reduce clashing and make colors more vibrant.
3) Adding more articles, photos, and design elements to make the cover busier and more appealing.
4) Rearranging some graphic elements and adding additional details like the website and date to follow magazine conventions while keeping the design unique.
Cotents page stages of development
The document describes the process of creating a magazine contents page. Key details include:
1) A text box was used to write the magazine name in the same font as the cover but in a different color to match the background.
2) Section headings in capital letters and red were added, along with red rectangles to make the headings stand out.
3) Numbers were added to help readers locate sections easily using an elegant feminine font for contrast.
4) Headings and article details were styled differently for overview and more information.
5) Two black and white images of the same person from different angles were added at the bottom with enhanced contrast.

Evaluation question 1
The document discusses the design choices made for various pages of a magazine created by the author. For the front cover, the author took inspiration from the layout and design elements of the Kerrang magazine but made modifications to make it unique. For the contents page, the author again drew from the Kerrang magazine layout while changing aspects like the organization of stories and inclusion of colored strips. For the two-page spread, dominant images are used on the left with a masthead title spanning both pages to draw the reader in. Throughout, the goal was to create a magazine that captured the style of Kerrang but with its own distinguishing characteristics.
Contents page anaylsis
The author initially wanted to use autumn leaves as the background for the contents page but felt a mood board may better reflect the fashion genre. They also felt the current design looked basic and bare with a lot of blank space. Different font styles and sizes were tried but it looked messy and unorganized. The author proposes using a mood board background, focusing on an image rather than text, including an editor's message or top story picks to make it more engaging.

Room for improvement is acknowledged, such as needing neater cutouts and more practice with design software. Feedback from a student validated certain successful elements and suggested some changes.
6. Production Reflection
Rebecca Edwards reflects on her process of creating a magazine cover and double page spread for her production. She experimented with layouts, images, and design elements like gradients, shadows and bubbles to enhance the realism and attractiveness of the pieces. Through multiple iterations, revisions and comparisons to other magazines, she refined the designs, such as focusing one page of the spread on a collage of gameplay images and keeping text on the other page.
Evaluation; Question 1
The document compares the design of a music magazine cover and double page spread created by the author to real magazine examples. For the cover, conventions like the masthead, bar code, and cover stories were used, while also adding elements like a pug logo and shadowing to make it more eye-catching. The double page spread featured a full-page photo across both pages, pull quotes, and a question/answer interview format to mimic real magazine styles. Design elements and positioning of text, images, and colors were developed based on inspiration from magazines like Q.
Music magazine construction
This document provides an overview of how Andrew Adegasoye constructed various elements of his music magazine, including the front cover, contents page, and a double-page spread. It describes the background images, focal images, mastheads, text placement, effects, and outcomes for each of these sections. The front cover features an artist in a music studio setting. The contents page was built around central images and includes article listings and social media icons. The double-page spread features a headline, pull quote, and article text on a red-toned background.
Task 7
The document provides details on three broadsheet newspaper page layouts created in InDesign. For each layout, content boxes were placed on a custom grid, then copy, images, headers and other elements were inserted. Fonts, pull quotes and drop caps were used consistently across pages to structure the copy. Feedback notes some layouts could be improved with better positioned images or ads to reduce whitespace. Overall the process created organized, conventional broadsheet pages, though some opportunities remained to make pages more visually interesting.
Evaluation
The student edited a before and after photo for their magazine cover using Photoshop to make it more vibrant and appealing. They created a flat plan prior to developing the magazine, keeping the theme, color scheme, and some header text consistent between the plan and the finished cover and contents page. A few alterations were made from the plan based on fitting the design, including changing text boxes to cover lines and removing a bottom strapline to simplify the cover. Similar changes were made to the contents page to limit text amounts. The colors, layout, and balance of text and image were evaluated positively by peers.
College Magazine Planning Work Presentation
The document describes the process of designing magazine covers and contents pages for a college magazine. It discusses inspiration taken from existing magazines and the key design elements included, such as prominent images, mastheads, slogans, pull quotes, and descriptions. The document then outlines the step-by-step process of creating the front cover and contents page in line with the chosen design elements and maintaining a consistent house style and brand identity.

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.

Magazine construction process
- 2. I first hand drew my cover idea as a practice so I could box out areas for images and text. This example has the text around where the image will be, so it doesn’t look too crowded, I included an image of spilt glitter in the corner to put puffs of information on, thus making it stand out . My second idea included the same concept of having the text around the image, however the masthead is on the right and the puffs are on the top right, at the bottom I might include secondary long shot images and arrange them into a shape of a flower, this idea was obtained from company magazine
- 3. I did a mock up of my layout on FIREWORKS to create an outline to work with for when I’m constructing my real magazine cover, it’s useful as I can play around with the sizes and virtually visualise my draft front cover
- 4. I created my final cover on FIREWORKS which is great for constructing posters/magazines/album covers, I settled with my second idea for my cover but omitted the secondary images and replaced it with a puff in the corner. The text surrounds the face so the image can be seen and is not obscured. To ensure this I slightly overlapped the image over the masthead to give it more dimension, yet the masthead is still legible.
- 5. I hand drew my initial contents ideas, my first idea was to locate the masthead (‘contents’) at the top of the page to allow more space for the text, the text was displayed in columns , in different sections to break up the text, each section had a different subheading. The images would be edited into diamond shapes and grouped together to add interest. The editors letter would be in the top corner on a box out. My second initial contents idea had the masthead placed vertically to the left of the page, thus allowing more text to be shown, the text would be on the right hand side, split into subgroups and placed on a box out. The images would be in the centre of the page in a column and the editors letter would be at the bottom in the corner as the images are the most important.
- 6. I had the opportunity to change my designs on fireworks, For my first idea I changed around the text and images into a more columned form to make it easier to navigate, also I omitted the editors letter as I felt it would get too cramped. For this version, I kept the masthead in the same place but moved the text and images around so they looked less formal and more fun, also this way I can make the images bigger so the reader can see them better.
- 7. In terms of my real contents page layout I chose my initial idea but added an editors letter because I had some free space. The text is in columns to make it easier to read and the three images I used (secondary images) separate the text, I also used bold box outs to distinguish the different types of article for easier navigation. The masthead is in the same format as the cover masthead, thus creating continuity.
- 8. For my first double page spread idea, I chose for lots of different sized images to be used to add interest, the text would be in columns and the headline on a box out to make it clearer. For my second idea, I wanted to have a main image and lots of smaller images in a column, almost like a film strip, the text would be in columns on white box outs as the background to the whole page would be a photo of purple glitter (to link with the cover and Dps, to create an artist theme). The headline would be on box outs on top of the main image.
- 9. For my first idea, I changed it slightly on fireworks by making the images a bit smaller to allow for more room for the text. For my second idea, I didn’t change any of it, I like the way the images and text are laid out as it looks neat and professional but still quirky.
- 10. For my double page spread , I decided to go with my second idea as it was more structured. I have added an album cover I created for my artist and an extra image in the column to fill a gap. The text is well ordered and I have included an artist quote to break up the text so it looks more interesting.
