This document discusses the conventions used in the author's urban music magazine and how it compares to similar magazines like XXL and Vibe. Some conventions it shares include using vibrant colors on the masthead to engage readers, medium shots of cover stars, and consistent color schemes throughout. Differences include including more photos of featuring artists and using both a Q&A format and journalistic writing for the cover story, while competitors typically use just one format. The author aims to provide more value to readers while maintaining professional standards.
Evaluation
This document discusses the codes and conventions used in magazines. It lists common magazine elements like masthead, fonts, issue number, layout, photography style, color scheme, and writing style. The document then compares the codes and conventions used in the student's magazine product to a real hip hop magazine. Key similarities highlighted are using the masthead behind the cover image, stacked contents headers, urban photography styles representing UK hip hop, consistent page numbers, and inclusion of barcodes and issue numbers to look professional.
Initial pitch
Matt Wilton proposes a magazine about indie rock music battles between up-and-coming bands. The magazine would feature details of monthly battles, including featured bands, venues, and rankings. Readers could vote online to determine winners. The magazine would be sold for £3-4 at retailers like Tesco and HMV, as well as through online subscription. It would utilize social media promotion and include free CDs and posters with each issue.
Question 1
This document discusses how the author's music magazine product uses and develops conventions of real music magazines. It provides examples of several ways the magazine follows real-world conventions, such as including the date, price, masthead, cover story, images, and general layout. However, it also challenges some conventions with aspects like using a double page spread with a large central image. Overall, the author aims to balance familiar conventions with some unconventional elements to engage the audience.
Question 1
This document discusses how the media product, a music magazine, uses and challenges conventions of real magazines. It analyzes several elements of the magazine, including the front cover, content page, double page spread, images, and overall layout. For most elements, conventions are followed, such as including the date, price, masthead, cover story, and page numbers. However, some aspects are unconventional, such as using half a page for an image on the double page spread. Overall, the magazine is mostly conventional but with some unconventional aspects to make it unique.
Evaluation
The media product challenges conventions of magazines by using a comic book-style front cover image rather than typical magazine covers. While the masthead placement at the top follows magazine conventions, the image is placed over the masthead for emphasis. Unlike some magazines, the price, date, and barcode are separated rather than combined to make them easier to read given the unique layout. The color scheme and cover text styles also relate to or differ from conventions of other magazines.

Blog work evaluation
My music magazine aimed to follow conventions of the genre but also challenged them at times. It used a vintage lifestyle magazine as an example of conventions, such as placing the title at the top of the page. My magazine challenged conventions by putting the tagline above the title rather than below, and locating the main headline in the bottom center rather than the top. It also placed pricing and barcodes on opposite sides of each magazine cover image rather than following conventions.

Question 1 powerpoint
The document discusses how the media product, a music magazine called Wireless, uses many forms and conventions of real magazines to make it recognizable. Some ways it follows conventions include using a large masthead on the contents page and including a "puff" describing what's inside. However, it also challenges some conventions, such as putting the masthead at a diagonal angle and using two cover photographs that bleed off the page instead of one. The magazine is also in landscape orientation rather than portrait to appeal to higher society classes. While it uses conventions like black and white photographs, it aims to have an indie appeal and be recognizable as its own unique product through small rule-bending design choices.
Music magazine evaluation
The document summarizes the student's music magazine project. It discusses how the magazine uses conventions from real media products such as unique typography and central cover images. It describes targeting the magazine at people aged 16-24 and representing them through urban styles and bold, informal design. The student proposes using both physical and digital distribution including IPC Media and online/subscription options to attract their target audience. The student concludes they have learned skills in Photoshop and Publisher and how to apply conventions like three-column text layouts from researching magazines like Vibe.
Question one
The student created a music magazine called AMPED that uses several conventions from real music magazines like NME, Metal Hammer, and Q. The front cover features a large central photo of the main artist like NME. Color schemes representing rock music include black, white, red, blue, and yellow. The masthead is prominently displayed unlike some magazines where it is blocked. While adhering to many conventions, the student also challenged some by adding a border to the front cover to focus attention and provide structure. Overall, the magazine draws from real media examples while making some adaptations.
Magazine planning
The document provides details for planning a photo shoot and magazine cover design. A medium longshot will be used to capture the model in full costume holding a bass guitar. The shoot will take place in a photo studio with studio lighting. The cover photo and interior photos from live music events will promote a rock music theme. The magazine will be called "Transmission", focus on the rock genre, publish monthly for £3.99, and target readers aged 15-20 in Yorkshire interested in rock music brands. A dummy front page layout in two columns on the left and three columns on the right is presented.
Evaluation q3)
Bauer Media would be a good publisher for the author's rock magazine "Keruption" as they already publish similar magazines like Kerrang, Q, and Mojo. The author based their magazine on these publications.
The magazine took inspiration from popular rock magazines such as Kerrang, Q, Rolling Stone, and Mojo in its codes and conventions around layout, cover lines, and color scheme.
The magazine would be sold in places frequented by its target rock audience, like newsagents, supermarkets, and rock music stores both physically and online, in order to be accessible and visible to potential buyers.
Evaluation of music magazine
My media product conforms to many conventions of real magazines in its front cover, contents page, and double page spread designs. On the front cover, it uses elements like cover lines, barcode, and overlapping title that are common across magazines. The contents page repeats the magazine branding and includes photography and neutral backgrounds as most magazines do. However, the product challenges some conventions by including more written information than images on the contents page. It also challenges conventions through its use of social media integration and darker color scheme on the double page spread, where larger images are typically used.

evaluation - conventions
The document discusses the conventions and design choices made for a magazine. It follows conventions like using a masthead, barcode, cover lines, date, price, and straplines. However, it aims to appeal to younger audiences unlike similar magazines. While major magazines use obvious 3-column text layouts, the document spreads text and images more which could be improved. Photos were edited in Photoshop to improve quality and match the vintage color scheme. Font and image editing were chosen to portray an authentic vintage style while still appealing to younger readers. Cinematography conventions like medium close-ups were used but the front cover featured a long shot of a band to challenge conventions.
Evaluation question 1
The document discusses how the media product, a magazine, uses and develops conventions from the real rock music magazine Q.
It uses bold serif and sans serif fonts on the cover to separate the headline from other text, mimicking Q's technique. The main cover image features a young artist to appeal to younger readers, as Q does. Dark colors are used on the cover and throughout to represent the rock genre, as with Q, but high-key lighting is used on photos atypical of rock.
The layout takes influences from Q like separating information with bars and highlighting page numbers, but uses circles instead of squares for a more informal look. Only two photos are used rather than several to prevent clutter.
Media evalution 5
The document discusses various design elements of a magazine and how they would attract the target audience. These include:
1) The catchy magazine name that is short and references music would grab attention.
2) Images of attractive models on the cover and throughout would appeal to both male and female readers interested in music and culture.
3) Listings of popular artists and bands in "sell lines" would attract fans of those acts.
4) An editor's letter and contents page help readers feel involved and informed about what's inside.
Evaluation question 1
My music magazine uses conventions of real media products in several ways, including a standard bold masthead at the top of the front cover to catch readers' attention, and a bold cover line relating to the main image, similar to other magazines. However, it also challenges some conventions. It does not include a caption next to the main image on the double-page spread to avoid clutter. It also only uses one photo on the double-page spread instead of multiple images, editing it to stand out from the text.
Music Magazine- Research
This document discusses elements of music magazine design and format. It analyzes covers of magazines like NME and Kerrang, noting features like mastheads, cover lines, images that attract target audiences.

It includes a front cover with the magazine name and issue details, a contents page with the cover image and editorial, and double page spreads with main images and column-based text. Props featured portray stereotypical hip-hop styles. Freebies are also included to attract audiences, following industry conventions.
Question 1
My magazine represents males aged 16-24 who enjoy urban and hip hop music. It uses conventions of the genre like intimidating images of artists looking into the camera on the cover. The magazine contrasts positive and negative representations - the cover photo is aggressive while contents photos are upbeat. Article photos also contrast, showing the artist serious about work and laughing with friends. Imagery and subjects represent stereotypes of the hip hop genre like mixed-race artists in urban settings.
Evaluation
The document summarizes similarities and differences between the cover and contents of the student's college magazine and conventions of other media products. On the cover, similarities include the masthead, issue date, main headline, dominant image, and rule of thirds layout. Differences are the lack of quotations, banners/headers and contact information. Regarding contents, similarities are headers, images, page numbers and promotions, while differences include repeating the masthead and including a date line and larger number of images than typical magazines.
Evaluation Question 1
This document discusses the student's process for designing the front cover, contents page, and double page spread for their media magazine project. They began by researching conventions from existing magazines in these areas. For the front cover, they included elements like eye contact, symmetry, cover lines, and prominent artists.

The document discusses gender traits and the differences between sex and gender. It provides headings for traditionally masculine and feminine traits such as preferred colours, clothes, toys, jobs, and responsibilities. It also includes questions about magazine covers, noting how signs and symbols convey meaning and how choices made by editors can influence representation and interpretation. Finally, it discusses magazine terminology, formats, and the analysis of magazines using concepts like paradigms and syntagms from semiotic theory.
Evaluation
My media product, a magazine called "Country Chords," uses conventions of real music magazines to represent the rock genre. It has the magazine name in large font in the top left corner, the main artist featured across the top, and a color scheme of red, black, and white. Photographs of the artist mimic photo shoots from magazines like Q. Articles are lined up on the left with headlines, images, and quotes to engage readers. The layout follows conventions like contents pages and double page spreads. Representing rock music, the magazine features a model in stereotypical clothing and pose for the genre.
Evaluation
The front cover uses conventions of real music magazines like Q Magazine by including a small masthead in the top left corner. It was inspired by magazines like Q, NME and MixMag but does not take all inspiration from one to cater to a gap in the existing market. Graphics are used in the background of the cover to make it stand out, with decreased opacity so text is still visible. The cover represents the target audience of 19-24 year old males interested in music through its youthful and stylish design.
Audience feedback 33
Brett Tinnion received audience feedback on his music magazine project. He learned that his preliminary task was basic but helped provide a foundation. His final magazine followed conventions like mastheads and cover lines but also challenged conventions through bold colors. Brett believes a company like Prometheus Global Media would be ideal to distribute the magazine since it already reaches his target audience of teenagers and focuses on music. Overall, Brett feels he has improved at using technologies like iMovie and publishing software, and has created a more polished final product compared to his initial task.
Evaluation
The document describes the process of creating a magazine cover, contents page, article layout, and questionnaire for a music magazine. Key details include using a female model on the cover to appeal to a broader audience than typical rock magazines. Color schemes, images, and fonts are chosen to represent the rock/alternative genre. Feedback from a questionnaire informed the content sections and artists featured. Overall the magazine aims to challenge conventions while appealing to its target 16-20 year old audience.

- The magazine aims to be familiar enough for readers but also unique to stand out. It focuses on indie electronica music.
- Conventions like layouts, photography, and music-related content are followed. However, the cover shoot was outside with natural lighting and a more casual look, challenging conventions of perfected studio shoots.

Music magazine evaluation 1-3
IPC would be a good choice to distribute the music magazine because:
1) They currently only distribute two music magazines including NME which targets an older audience.
2) The new magazine targets a younger audience aged 15-26 covering alternative rock, metal and indie genres.
3) This expands IPC's music magazine offerings to different audiences and genres compared to NME.
Bauer Media is not a good choice as they already distribute the similar magazine Kerrang! targeting the same audience and genres.

The document describes the target audience and design elements of a magazine product. The audience is 15-18 year olds from social classes B, C1, C2 who enjoy R&B and hip hop music. The magazine features black artists to match its target demographic. It uses bold colors, fonts, and images of popular artists to attract its young urban reader base.

Results from questionnaire
The document discusses the results of a questionnaire given to people ages 16 to 17. Most respondents were female. A majority listened to R&B and hip hop music. Creating a magazine focused on R&B and hip hop would be wise as these genres are popular. Including an indie genre could work if the magazine was urban-focused. Most people won't buy magazines they can't relate to, so relatability will be important. Respondents preferred a balance of writing and images. Free gifts were the biggest motivator to buy magazines, but other factors also encouraged purchases.

EED - The Container Port PERFORMANCE INDEX 2023
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

- 1. MEDIA MAGAZINE EVAULUATION BY TONI MORRIS
- 2. 1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? My magazine uses the conventions of real magazines throughout the layout in terms of colours font and where everything is situated on the page right through to the content within the cover lines and article. To do this I carried out research on various music magazines such as: Doing this I gathered what genre and style of magazine I wanted to create. I then decided to research upon the urban magazine genre and focused on the magazines VIBE and Billboard.
- 3. 1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? Rule Of Thirds Rule Of Thirds Header Images Cover lines Masthead- Font on the masthead gills sans ultra bold to connote the informality of the magazine. Barcode Footer My front cover has everything that the a normal magazine would have.
- 4. 1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? Contents page title Issue number Date released Main Image Page numbers Sub-Titles
- 5. 1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? The written content within my Main image magazine article follows the codes and conventions of an Quote urban magazine due to the topic being “up close and Headline personal” it would interest readers to look into the life of Columns their favourite artist and they would be able to aspire to that. Introduction/ Synopsis
- 6. Title My magazine differs to conventions of the urban magazine due to it having a one letter title. The masthead does not cover the top of the page horizontally. However the font used for my masthead was Gills sans ultra bold to make the text bold and thick which does follow the codes and conventions of a normal magazine targeting.
- 7. 2.How does your media product represent particular social groups My magazine represents the urban adolescent by the typical ethnicity of being black and dressing quite “street” also the artists that are featured on my front cover for example Nicki Minaj and Mia both are rappers / singers and are “coloured”. The audience I aimed my magazine at was 15- 18 year olds. In terms of clothing I deliberately chose people that dress very urban and would be considered to have “swag” and did research upon what's in fashion at this moment in time and I tried to portray what my audience would aspire to wear and be like. Also brands associated with music (YMCMB Jumper on the front cover). further info on YMCMB
- 8. 3.What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why? The media institution I would like to publish my magazine would be IPC because it is a well established institution over 60 iconic media brands with print alone reaching almost two thirds of UK women and 42% of UK men which is 26 million users per month and would do a lot of justice for my brand of magazine. They also publish NME which is the longest published and most respected music weekly in the world. Across the magazine, nme.com, NMETV, NME Radio and the brand's live events and awards, NME reaches over one million music fans every week therefore their publishing have a well known music magazine and have experience within the music industry. http://www.ipcmedia.com
