Evaluation question 1
The document discusses the conventions of magazine design that the author followed and challenged in their media product. Some conventions the author followed include keeping the masthead visible and unobstructed, using medium shots for the main image, and including cover lines and page numbers on the contents page. Some conventions the author challenged include placing the strapline at the top of the cover rather than bottom and only including cover lines on the left side. The author strived to both conform to and adapt magazine conventions to suit their target teenage audience.
Q1
The document discusses the design choices made for a student-created magazine. It describes placing the title in the top left corner as most magazines do. An attention-grabbing font was used for the title. The front cover image depicts a rapper holding a microphone to emphasize their musical career. Color scheme, coverlines, and other design elements were chosen based on research of popular rap magazines. For the contents page, the student followed some conventions but also made some changes, such as including more images than typical. The double-page spread uses conventions like a drop cap but also makes unique design choices like placing the artist's initial behind the text.
Q5

Evaluation question 1
In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
Presentation1 question 1
The student created a magazine that drew upon conventions from existing music magazine Q. For the front cover, the student used a similar pose and layout as Q, with the main picture and writing around it. For interior pages, the student included interviews and a contents page similar to Q's layout and use of photos, colors, and sections. The student chose the magazine's name "SWAGGA" to match the RnB music genre covered and made the title stand out like other magazines through font size, color, and placement behind the cover model.
Evaluation Question 1
The document discusses codes and conventions used in magazine design. It describes the use of a bold red masthead on the front cover to attract attention, and a strapline at the bottom listing featured artists. On the contents page, the masthead is smaller and a different color/font scheme is used. Featured articles are highlighted to help readers find them. Throughout the magazine, a limited number of fonts are used to keep the design professional and readable while still interesting for the target audience. Images and layouts tie into the indie music genre.
Question 1
The document discusses codes and conventions used in magazine design. It describes the use of a bold red masthead on the front cover to attract attention. Featured artists and bands are listed in the strapline at the bottom. On the contents page, the masthead is smaller and a different font is used. Page numbers are included in red. The main image shows a featured double-page article. Only four fonts are used throughout to keep it professional but interesting for teenagers. On double-page spreads, the artist name and quote serve as the masthead with red text on white. Photographs relate to the indie genre.
Question 1
The document discusses the design choices made for a student-created music magazine. It aimed to use standard magazine conventions like the masthead, cover lines, and barcodes to make it recognizable as a magazine. For the cover, it featured a close-up image and headline in a minimalist style inspired by Q magazine. The contents page implemented conventions but with a different color scheme and layout for visibility. The double-page spread placed the image on one page and article on another, and included design elements like pull quotes to break up the text. Overall, it largely followed real magazine conventions but with some experimental elements.
Preliminary task
The document summarizes a student's work on creating a magazine for their school.
The student designed the front cover of the magazine titled "King's Sport" using red font to represent the school's status as a sports academy.
For the contents page, the student used the same font and colors as the front cover to create continuity. Important stories were written in bold and parts in red to draw attention. Photos were included to showcase school life.
In their evaluation, the student reflects that they could have added more color to the front cover and left space for a competition. They also feel the photos on the contents page were too long and they didn't properly plan space.
Media question 1
The document summarizes the key design elements and conventions used in the student's media coursework magazine project. For the front cover, the student manipulated text around the main image of a model making direct eye contact with the viewer. Interior pages included attitude-portraying photos in the contents page and a double-page article spread with compact text in three columns next to a large supporting image, arranged efficiently without blank space. The student followed conventions of music magazines and aimed to grab audience attention through choice of famous artists and unique font design.
Media Studies
The document discusses how the media product both uses and challenges conventions of real magazines. It uses conventions such as a masthead, coverlines, consistent page numbering and layout. However, it also challenges conventions by having an informal band photo on the cover where members are swearing, an untidy double page spread layout, and photos of smoking and swearing which would typically not be allowed. The goal is to have a magazine that appeals to an indie audience by staying true to the genre rather than strictly following mainstream magazine conventions.
How did you attract and address your audience
The document discusses how the author addressed and attracted their target audience for their magazine. They compared their magazine to NME, a similar professional music magazine. They analyzed NME's fonts, colors, images, and layout elements and incorporated similar designs into their own magazine to appeal to their shared target audience of 18-25 year olds. The author made some adjustments based on peer feedback, such as moving elements on the cover and contents page for improved visibility and professionalism. The summary provides an overview of the key points made in the original lengthy document.
Media conventions
This document discusses how the media product both follows and challenges conventions of real magazines. It uses common magazine elements like photos taken in a studio setting and gray backgrounds, but breaks conventions by only including the model and title on the cover instead of additional text. The contents page only lists the title instead of the magazine title and contents, but otherwise follows standard organization. A double-page spread uses five photos of a music video instead of just one large photo. Throughout, it aims to balance color, clarity and reader focus while still providing essential information.
Personal Learning and Reflection
For their personal learning reflection, the student analyzed various front covers, contents pages, and double page spreads from music magazines. They learned that effective covers have a recognizable logo and layout while avoiding being too busy. Contents pages must have a clear structure and include images to represent the articles. Double page spreads are best with a large main image on one side and a large bold title. Through an audience questionnaire and personality analysis, the student gained insights into readers' interests to ensure the magazine appeals to its target demographic.
Question 1
This document summarizes the ways in which the student's mock magazine product uses conventions from real media products. It notes several conventions the mock magazine shares with real magazines, such as having a recognizable name and cover photo on the front page. It also includes conventions like a contents page with photos and text in a structured layout, double page articles with large titles and grabby questions. The student concludes they successfully applied known conventions like these throughout their mock magazine without developing new ones, but were able to improve their photo editing skills and maintain a consistent structure and theme.
Planning for my music magazine
The document discusses plans for a music magazine, including:
- Using advertisements and articles about fashion and music to appeal to the target audience.
- Including at least one picture per page to make the magazine very visual as well as informative.
- Choosing models that fit the image of a magazine focused on both music and fashion.
- Draft designs for the front cover, contents page, and double page spread that aim to be eye-catching but not too busy.

For the cover image, they said it was well composed but could be brighter. For the masthead, they felt it represented the genre well but was too dark. For changes to the magazine, they suggested improving alignment for a more professional look and including more diverse artist photos. The focus group provided insights on making the magazine more visually appealing and professionally designed.
Louisa Media As Production
The document summarizes the development of a magazine created by the author. It includes sections on the cover, contents, audience, and a sample double page interview. The magazine does not target a specific social group. The author is most proud of the cover design but found creating the contents page difficult. The intended audience is younger readers who the author feels are underserved. The double page interview follows a typical structure but uses fictionalized band members. Overall, the author is pleased with the outcome but would do more research in the future given their lack of experience in this genre.
Evaluate
The document summarizes the design choices for the cover and contents page of a student magazine. For the cover, the designer included a photo of two students looking away to seem relaxed. Blue was used as the main color as it matches the college badges. Popular topics from research were included on the cover lines. The contents page included photos of students interacting and common student items like music and brands. Consistent fonts and colors were used throughout to unite the design. Areas for improvement include reducing hyphens, changing the barcode background, and adding a colored background.
Front cover q67
The document discusses editing a photo of the author's friend Netti using Photoshop tools to enhance it for use as the front cover of a school magazine project. The author describes using tools in Photoshop to adjust the contrast, brightness, and turn the photo black and white to make it look more professional like a magazine cover. Some tools did not work as intended but the author was able to reverse any unwanted effects. Overall, the author was pleased with how the edited photo and additional design elements made the front cover resemble a real magazine.

Magazine evaluation
Joshua Irons evaluated his magazine cover design project. He made several changes from the original magazine he was inspired by to avoid plagiarism, such as altering the model's pose and clothing and changing the placement and size of design elements. He represented his target audience of teenagers through the model's casual clothing. Distribution of his magazine could work for magazines like Q, NME or Kerrang that target a similar young rock music audience. He aimed to attract this audience through design choices like font, colors and layout that give off a dark, rock music vibe. Looking back, he felt he improved in areas like image cutting, text readability and using the full space compared to his preliminary work.

Magazine design evaluation
- 1. Jo
- 2. I researched mostly on the internet because my magazine was based on Carp Fishing and this is not a popular sport among my age group. I researched and analysed numerous existing Carp Fishing magazines. I looked at what they all seemed to have in common. I found that green is a common colour among Carp Fishing therefore many magazines included green in their colour scheme. Green resembles weed in a lake and this is where Carp often linger whilst fishing, this explains why green is a good colour to use. I also found that many magazines used very bold and eye catching text on the front cover and also advertised a competition as well as including informational interviews with the sports professionals. Off this research I decided to include an interview with a friend of mine who is a trout master, turned carp fisherman. I also advertised a competition in the magazine.
- 3. I compared 3 magazine covers and contents pages. I found that they always include competitions and big bold fonts to make these stand out. The competitions were always something the reader is going to want therefore this also acted a selling line.
- 4. I like my logo design because it interprets my country which I think gives it a more professional look as from what I found in my research this is quite common in Carp Magazines. The reason why this is common in cap magazines is because if the magazine is based on the country the reader is from then it is more likely to be based on what type of fishing thy do and the probability is that it will be more informational for them. I used the carp rig to right of the ‘UK’ because this is in the left third which the reader sees straight away and this automatically tells the reader this is a informational carp fishing magazine.
- 5. I edited this image by adjusting the brightness and contrast. I did this to make the fish stand out more and appear bigger. This is the only editing I did to this image as it was all the other text I put on top of it which made the front cover look good. I used images of Kevin throughout the interview of the magazine and I cropped quite a few of them and also adjusted the brightness and contrast.
- 6. I used a picture of my friend holding a carp in the background, I did this because this is extremely stereotypical of Carp Fishing magazines. This definitely catches the viewers eye as this would be the specimen they fish for if they was going to purchase this magazine. I used the UK colours because they stand out well, I think this worked really well because it gave my magazine a theme. I think the white writing I used for the main cover lines worked well because they stand out to the viewer. I put the ‘Like on Facebook’ part at the bottom because this isn’t very typical of Carp Fishing magazines so I thought this would capture the viewers interest.
- 7. I think my contents is my best page as I followed the rule of ‘less is more’. In my opinion this paid off because I think my contents page looks very professional. All of my contents are realistic. I used a scenic shot of a fishery I go to in the background, scenic shots of lakes/wildlife seem to be popular for fishing contents pages. I managed to capture the swans in the middle of the photograph which I think really sets my contents page off. I made my magazine look like it was a monthly magazine by creating realistic short sentences to give the reader a preview of what is on each page.
- 8. I used my interview with my friend Kevin Smith for my double page spread. I think that the fact I did an interview made my magazine look more professional. I used quotes from Kevin’s answers from the interview to make the pages look more like a professional magazine. I used the correct text size which is used in actual professional magazines. I also used the same spacing and a formal font.
- 9. I think Josh’s magazine is very detailed and looks professional, especially his front cover. The white writing goes well with the image that is the background – Jess (Study Support) I preferred the contents page to the cover page, as I didn’t really like the title of the mag. I also feel the interview should have been done in 3 columns. Damon (Teacher) I really liked the contents page as it look very professional but simple at the same time. I also liked how the ‘UK’ logo stood out so much to the audience on the front cover. Alyx (Student) I thought the images that Josh used were all very professional especially the one on the contents page this really added to the overall look. James (Student) I thought the two column layout of the double page spread was different and would stand out from others on a shop shelf. Max (Student) The large Kevin Smith on the first page of the double page spread made Kevin look like a really important person in the world of carp. Paul (Student) The carp fishing rig on the title of the magazine really made it look professional. Jason (Student) The way the pictures were lay out on the second page of the double page spread was good it made it look professional. Nick (Student) I think the fact that the little blurbs under the contents of each page on the contents page were a great idea! Shirley (Student)
- 10. I think the fact that I had Kevin Smith to interview was a hug strength of my magazine as he give in depth and professional answers. I think the pictures I took at the fishery I go to helped a lot with making the magazine look as professional as possible. I also think that the Photoshop skills I used made a big difference to the magazine as í think I am quit advanced on Photoshop therefore this added to the professional look of the magazine.
- 11. If I did a second issue of the magazine I think I would change the title as not many people liked that. I would and also the font of the text on the front page.
