School magazine front cover
Samantha Collier edited a photo for her school magazine cover by adjusting the curves and contrast to make it warmer. She then reversed the image and added the masthead on a new layer over the photo to avoid putting text over the main image. Next, she added cover lines and subheadings following a black and purple color scheme, as well as a barcode, issue number, date, price, main cover line in a unique font, and subheading to promote the plus section.
Evaluation
The document discusses how the student evaluated their media product by:
1) Using conventions and forms from real magazines like Kerrang!, NME, and Q to appeal to their target market.
2) Looking at popular rock magazines to inform design choices for their magazine cover and contents.
3) Adapting conventions like banners, images, and plugs while adding their own style.
Language ®ister
The document discusses language and register, explaining that a magazine's language choices depend on its intended audience. For example, a magazine aimed at mature women with high incomes would use formal language without abbreviations or slang. In contrast, rock magazines like Kerrang! use informal language, slang, and abbreviations to appeal to their target audience of teenagers interested in rock music. The response explains that the author's magazine about rock music will use informal language and slang to connect with its older teen audience and accurately represent the rock artists featured.
Magazine names
The document discusses potential names for a music magazine, analyzing the meanings and connotations of each word. It examines the guitar and rebellious implications of "Riff" and "Would be king", the simplicity of just calling it "Band", the loudness suggested by "Amplified", and how "Reinventive" conveys creativity through rebellion with a made-up word. It also analyzes "Elegant crimes" as implying a rough quality and easy elegance with an edge of danger.
Music magazine fonts
The document discusses different font styles for a magazine masthead and evaluates them based on readability, conformity to genre expectations, and uniqueness. It considers fonts that are easy to read but also capture the rebellious spirit of rock music. Block capitals and distressed styles are described as eye-catching while still readable. Uniform fonts are criticized for being too conventional despite clarity. Decorative and texture elements are praised for making fonts more interesting without sacrificing functionality. Overall, the fonts are judged on balancing genre appropriateness and audience expectations with basic design principles.
Music magazine layout
The document outlines the layout and design elements of a magazine, including the masthead, issue number, plug text promoting articles, images, and strapline. It contains repetitive text to fill space and engage the audience.

Colour palette
This document describes a color palette chosen for a music magazine. The palette includes mainly dark colors that complement a bright red color, which is commonly associated with rock magazines.

Hierarchy of typefaces
This document lists 6 different typefaces in a hierarchical order: Impact, Aharoni, Agency FB, Bradley Hand ITC, dotum(bold), and Arial Narrow. The typefaces are listed from the top of the hierarchy to the bottom.
Genre
The document discusses the conventions and target audience of a rock music magazine. It will focus on rock music as that is the genre the creator listens to most and knows best. A rock magazine typically has a cluttered layout with many images, uses informal language to relate to readers, and features a prominent close-up image of a band on the cover. The target audience is teenagers and young adults who enjoy rock music and are interested in learning about the lives of artists. Articles will profile bands and review their music and performances.
Double page spread evaluation
The document summarizes two magazine double page spreads. The first spread from Kerrang magazine uses informal language, slanted headings, and a cluttered layout with many images to engage its rock music audience. The second spread from Billboard magazine has a simple, organized layout with one large image and uses a plain grey/black/white color scheme to appeal to its more mature, female target audience.
Layout
The document is a magazine layout template that includes the masthead, issue number, logo and strapline at the top of each page. It also includes space for promotional text and images to advertise articles inside the magazine in order to engage readers and boost the magazine's status.
cover image
The document discusses the cover image design for a magazine targeted towards a primary school. The cover image will feature a medium close-up photo of a child smiling and looking up while coloring against a plain colored wall. This is intended to convey confidence and enjoyment while keeping the image simple and focused on the subject. The child will be in the school uniform to connect the magazine to the relevant school. The image will be placed on the bottom right of the cover, leaving space for a headline about the school being praised for imaginative learning. Effects may be added to enhance the colors and make the drawing appear more cartoon-like.
