Little White Lies magazine is known for its artist themes. The article notes strong clashing colors and small page details in the magazine. It recommends basing a magazine on Little White Lies' lead reviews down the sides and printing photos over page folds to make images stand out. The text is aligned in a singular column rather than multiple columns as in most magazines. The page layout is the same as the previous one, with a conventional three-part small summary at the bottom.

The document analyzes the design elements of the magazine cover of "Heat" magazine. It discusses the use of color, with red and white in the top half representing the magazine brand and pink and yellow in the bottom half targeting women readers. The central masthead in red font and the main image are used to draw attention. Additional images and strap lines provide more content information. Elements like the barcode and tagline further reinforce the magazine's identity and topic. Color, images, and short text are used throughout to attract readers while representing the magazine's brand and topic.

This document analyzes the design elements of the magazine "Heat". It discusses the use of color, with red and white in the top half and pink and yellow in the bottom. It also examines the masthead, main image, strap lines, barcode, tag line, and lure used to grab readers' attention and brand the magazine. Design choices like font, size, and color placement are meant to efficiently advertise the magazine's content and appeal to its target audience without overwhelming the reader.
Evaluation for magazine front cover
The document evaluates the front cover design of a magazine. It discusses several aspects of the design that work well, including the recognizable left third of the masthead and the medium portrait of the model. However, it notes that the flash box appears out of place in terms of color and placement. The evaluation also discusses what was easy, like taking the cover photo, and difficult, such as coming up with concise cover lines. Overall, the document provides a review of the key design elements of the magazine cover and lessons learned.
Contents page analysis
The document summarizes and analyzes the contents page of a magazine. It notes that the only image on the page is of a scantily clad woman in a vulnerable yet powerful pose. While the modern font and color scheme are praised, the summary criticizes the page for being too simplistic and boring with just one large central image and not enough smaller supplemental photos or detailed explanations of the subcategories. Additional images are suggested to improve visual interest.

The document discusses design elements of jazz magazines that could be applied to a new magazine. It notes that jazz magazine covers typically have a black background with a centered image and simple text. Contents pages vary more between a dark theme matching the cover or a lighter page focused on text. Double page spreads prioritize the article over images, using minor images to allow for more text. The document suggests using a black cover background but different text styling, that contents pages can vary in theme, and focusing more on articles than images in spreads.

The document discusses design elements of jazz magazines that could inform the design of a new magazine. It notes that jazz magazine covers typically have a black background with a centered dominant image and simple surrounding text. Contents pages, meanwhile, show more variation in design between magazines. Double page spreads focus more on the text of articles than large dominant images, with photos kept minor to make room for more writing. The key lessons are that a new magazine could stand out from competitors by altering cover text design while keeping the black background and centered image, and that double page spreads should prioritize article text over perfect matching photos.
Analysis of Second Magazine (VIBE)
Here is my second analysed magazine. Again I have analysed VIBE magazine because it is very similar to the style of magazine that I wish to create so I look to it for a lot of inspiration.

The document examines design elements like columns, pull quotes, white space, symmetry, and reverse printing. It provides feedback on the designs and ways they could be improved, such as using less negative space or making supplemental design elements more interesting.

Identity theft seminar
Identity theft occurs when someone steals someone else's personal information like credit card or Social Security numbers and uses it fraudulently. Thieves can get this information in many ways such as stealing mail, hacking computers, or scamming individuals out of their details. To prevent identity theft, people should shred documents with financial information, be careful what information they share online or over the phone, and monitor credit reports and financial statements regularly for any suspicious activity. If someone becomes a victim of identity theft, they should contact creditors to close fraudulent accounts, file a police report, place fraud alerts on credit reports, and contact identity theft assistance organizations.
Shot research
The document discusses aspects of the short film "Back to Solitude" that could inspire shots for the filmmakers' own short film. Specifically:
1) The voiceover in "Back to Solitude" was overdramatic but detached the narrator from the characters, while the filmmakers want the audience to relate to their characters, so they will use the main character as the narrator.
2) The shot compositions in "Back to Solitude" effectively represent interactions between characters and show their relationships, so the filmmakers want to take inspiration from these shots.
3) A shot showing two characters with space between them and using a TV for light could be used to hint at a relationship breakdown at
Narrative structure 2 (1)
The document discusses several narrative theories proposed by Tzvetan Todorov, Roland Barthes, Vladimir Propp, and Northrop Frye.
Todorov suggested narratives follow five stages - an initial equilibrium, a disruption, recognition of the disruption, an attempt to repair the equilibrium, and a new equilibrium. Barthes identified five codes that are woven into narratives - hermeneutic, proairetic, symbolic, semantic, and cultural. Propp analyzed Russian folktales and identified 31 narrative functions. Frye described narratives as following either a chronological or non-chronological (synchronic) structure.

The human circulatory system consists of three main parts: the heart, lungs, and blood vessels. The heart pumps oxygenated blood to the lungs, where carbon dioxide is removed and oxygen is added back into the blood. The blood is then pumped throughout the body via arteries, veins, and capillaries to supply cells with oxygen and remove waste before returning to the heart to restart the cycle.

Some key points made include that the Q magazine cover contains too much messy information, the Vibe cover has an unattractive font and poor positioning of some text, the Clash cover has minimal information which could be good or bad, and the Billboard cover has some vibrant colors but some design elements like a yellow strip and wrapping text are ineffective.

Unit 30- LO2
Thank you for sharing the draft interview. A few suggestions:
- Add follow up questions to get more details on the artist's responses. For example, after they mention making fans happy, you could ask what their favorite fan interaction was.
- Vary the question types, such as asking about their creative process, influences, dreams for the future, etc. This makes the interview more interesting.
- Consider including a brief bio at the start to introduce the artist to readers who may not know them.
- Proofread for typos.
- Format the questions differently than answers, like making questions bold or a larger font size, to make it easy for readers to follow.
- Include an attention-

- 1. Magazine Research Little White Lies
- 2. Little White Lies is known from the artist themes which run though their magazine. In this article I have noticed the strong clashing colours and small additions to the pages; small page numbers and ‘Lead Review’ down the sides. If I was to base mine upon Little White lies it would be the lead review and then would therefore have this printed down the sides.
- 3. On this page I noticed they have printed the photo over the fold. I think this is effective to make the image stand out. I would like to use this in my review to make Marius stand out as being alone. I also like the alignment of the text in the singular straight column. This is different to most other magazines as usually everything Is laid out in columns.
- 4. This page is laid out the same as the previous. This is the end of the article and at the bottom is a small three section summary/ending. This is very conventional of Little White Lies but I also feel that is it a great way to summaries your thoughts.
