Magazine review
The author initially included an inanimate object as the front cover image but felt it would not attract readers. They replaced it with a black and white photograph of a male musician to better match the target demographic of young adult musicians. While swapping images, they ensured the new image contrasted well with the other elements like the previous piano image. The character photo now serves as the main focal point while the text and logo still stand out. Overall, the author believes the revised front cover is consistent with the interior pages and will engage readers.

Overall, the magazines that use clear and eye-catching titles, prominent images of featured celebrities, and brief previews of interior stories are deemed most effective at drawing in potential readers.
Preliminary Task
The document analyzes the front covers of two magazines, Rolling Stone and Kerrang. It discusses the key elements magazines typically include on their front covers like the date, price, masthead, headlines, and subheadings.

The document then provides an evaluation of the learning experience of analyzing magazine covers and designing their own magazine cover.
Magazine Cover
The magazine cover features photos of glamorous but unhappy-looking celebrities with quotes that create conflict and intrigue for the audience. The placement of larger, bold quotes from the celebrities alongside smaller commentary from the magazine editors suggests disagreement and controversy between the two parties. Through symbolic images, text placement and styling choices, the magazine cover aims to attract its target audience of 16-25 year old females interested in celebrity news and gossip.
Task 3c
This document provides an analysis of a double page magazine spread. It notes several key aspects of the spread's design and content:
- The text and image are integrated, with dull black and white tones throughout.

- The main headline uses different fonts and sizes for each word. A bone separates the words, linking to the genre.
- The spread remains fairly black, white, and yellow in color, contrasting the happy yellow with darker images.
- The main image gives a "bad boy" impression through facial expressions and
Evaluation for question 7.
This document summarizes the learning process and improvements made by the author in creating contents pages and a double-page spread (DPS) for a student music magazine from their initial drafts to the final products. The author's initial sketches lacked creativity, appropriate images, and magazine conventions. Through receiving feedback, researching professional magazines, and multiple revisions, the author incorporated more articles, a variety of layouts, effective color schemes and fonts, and additional design elements in the final contents pages and DPS. However, they note areas that still could have been improved further, such as using more relevant images and developing the layout/design more.
Student magazine
The client provided feedback on the magazine created by the student. For the front cover, the client liked the festive Christmas theme but noted that some large spaces could have been filled. They also felt it was unusual to feature a group member on the cover rather than another student. The contents page was said to look more like a report and could be improved with more graphics. For the student's articles, continuity of the Christmas theme was lacking but layout and use of images was effective. Some photos needed improving. Overall, while many aspects met expectations, more could have been done to maintain the theme throughout and improve some visual elements.
Evaluation (5)
The document provides an evaluation of the author's production process for an FMP magazine. Strengths included good ideas from research and visuals. Weaknesses were time consumption and limited research. Improvements included adding more detail, keeping an open mind, and allowing more time.

Technical qualities and aesthetic qualities were generally good but could be improved with more noticeable text and spacing. Audience appeal was successful but could have included more details and context about the game. Peer feedback suggested adding more specific text and context.

Deconstructions
The document provides an analysis of the front covers and contents pages of three different magazines:
1) A regional football magazine called "The Mag" focusing on Newcastle United FC. The front cover features Newcastle player Yohan Cabaye and emphasizes the local identity.
2) A national football magazine called "FourFourTwo" aimed at a wide audience. The front cover images six players from different teams but looks unprofessional.
3) An alternative regional magazine called "The Crack" based in the northeast of England covering lifestyle and arts topics. The front cover has a bright, quirky design but some elements look unprofessional.
Magazine titles
The document describes two magazine title designs created by the author:
Title 1 uses varied colors and effects like drop shadows and glows to make the text stand out. Feedback indicated Title 1 was more eye-catching and appropriate for a music magazine.
Title 2 uses a simpler design with outlines and drop shadows. Feedback was mixed, with some finding it less interesting and others thinking it could work.
Based on the feedback, the author concluded Title 1 was best as it stood out more and better suited the genre of a music magazine. Title 1 was chosen for the magazine cover.

Research
The Metal Hammer cover uses bright colors and bold photography to stand out from other magazines. The photo depicts the band facing the camera at a lower angle to appear powerful. For potential readers, the cover would attract attention, while existing fans and readers would recognize the familiar brand identity. The double page spread uses natural lighting to photograph the band on location, with the lead singer pointing at the camera to directly address readers. The large title and short text make the article easy to read.
Evaluation question 7
The student has learned how to create a more professional-looking magazine by improving their skills in layout, design, and use of editing programs. They found that their preliminary school magazine lacked organization and clear formatting compared to their later rock magazine. Specifically, they learned how to design cleaner contents pages, double page spreads, and front covers through practicing with color choices, fonts, images, and structure. The student also recognized photography and editing skills as important areas they developed further.
Media Studies AS Evaluation
The document discusses the development of a magazine cover and contents page. For the cover image, the girl's blemishes were smoothed and shiny parts from the flash were softened to look more professional. The masthead took inspiration from Rolling Stone but has a unique style. Colors and fonts were chosen to appeal to both male and female audiences. The contents page features images and sections to showcase what's included in the magazine. Photoshop was used to edit images and perfect them for the professional look sought.

Evaluation question 1, part 3
The document discusses the design conventions used for the digipak of a folk music album. It states that the digipak measurements and natural photography style fit conventional folk digipak designs. However, it also subverts some conventions by using brighter colors than typical for folk digipaks and increasing synergy between the digipak, music videos, and website more than other folk artists do, to reduce mystery for new artists. Nature is prominently featured in the photography to portray the folk artist as being at one with nature, in line with folk music genre conventions.
Student feedback for the first draft
Student filmmakers received feedback on their first draft music video from peers. The feedback included that some lip syncing was out of sync with the music, there was too much focus on just the artist and not enough additional people or cutaway shots of the location. To address these issues, the students will re-film sections to improve lip syncing, add more people and location establishing shots. They also received positive feedback that the artist's performance and behind the scenes footage was enjoyed.

Blogger was effective for planning, research, and presenting work. YouTube supported research into film codes and conventions as well as uploading drafts. Prezi provided a creative way to present evaluations.

Assessment and Planning in Educational technology.pptx
In an education system, it is understood that assessment is only for the students, but on the other hand, the Assessment of teachers is also an important aspect of the education system that ensures teachers are providing high-quality instruction to students. The assessment process can be used to provide feedback and support for professional development, to inform decisions about teacher retention or promotion, or to evaluate teacher effectiveness for accountability purposes.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Magazine Cover Feedback
- 1. MAGAZINE COVER FEEDBACK By Elona, Georgia, Charlie and Angel
- 3. FEEDBACK 1- PHOTO 1. Many people thought that after learning about our artist that the photo which we chose to use was too serious, because the image of our artist is suppose to be more fun loving and enjoying life. 2. Also people further said that they thought the photo had been over edited and looks like the shadows that should be on her face have been blurred and this causes her to look like the artist has bruises on her forehead and right eye. 3. Finally parts of the photo were pointed out as being over stretched and therefore very slightly out of proportion, so that needs to be addressed, because it can make it clear that it is not a professional cover. It was suggested that we use photographs more like the one above for the main photo on the cover.
- 4. FEEDBACK 2- TEXT 1. Some of the text is not as clear to see as it could be, especially the less bold sections of text that go across the photo. This is cause the colour of the hair causes the text to blend in. 2. Also the stand out quote which we used was mentioned as not making sense and unclear as to what it was suppose to mean, because it doesn’t relate to the cover much. 3. Finally the text box needs to be made into a even rectangle because through the box being uneven it does not look as professional as it could, as it needs to look slicker.
- 5. POSITIVE FEEDBACK 1. People liked how we had managed to add a fade to black in the corners of the background that it made it look more professional, and thought that the colours used make the cover stand out as it is bright and vibrant, and therefore eye-catching. 2. People also liked how we had thought about and included small details that many people forget about, such as the barcode that is placed into the bottom corner of the cover. 3. Finally within the text on the page that you can read, the subject of it is good and accurate as to what you would expect to find on magazines like Billboard and this further makes the cover come across as professional.
