Media evaluation final
Rebecca Paterson created a magazine targeting 19-25 year olds interested in rock/indie music. She represented this social group through color scheme, fonts, and images reflecting how they dress and the music they listen to. She learned about designing effective magazine layouts using consistent colors and manipulating images/text in Photoshop. Feedback from her target audience helped improve her magazine to better attract them.

The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
Changes after audience consultance
The document summarizes changes made to improve the layout and design of a magazine based on feedback from an audience. Key changes included making the title on the front cover bigger and using a more appropriate font. The sticker layout and pull quote were also updated.

Fonts, images, and effects were standardized across pages to create a more cohesive and professional publication.
Technical codes
The document provides technical details on how to effectively use camera techniques and editing to create suspense and enigma in a horror film trailer. It discusses using close-ups, establishing shots, distorted angles, tracking shots, and high/low angles to manipulate viewers' perceptions. It also recommends quick cuts and transitions, diegetic and non-diegetic sound, low lighting, costumes, and symbolic imagery to disorient audiences and build tension without revealing the plot. The goal is to pique interest in the film's story while maintaining an aura of mystery.

Mood board

My contents page development
The document describes the development process for a magazine contents page through multiple drafts. In the first draft, the author created pages and sections for an indie magazine and added a table of contents. Subsequent drafts involved experimenting with colors, fonts, and layouts. Images and page numbers were then added to relate to articles. Further revisions included framing images and titles, and using effects like embossing to emphasize elements and make them stand out more in the final draft.
