Question One
The document discusses how the student's media product uses and develops conventions of real music magazines to be recognized as a genuine magazine. Specifically, it includes pictures that bleed to the edges of pages, a professional looking masthead, competitions, and cover lines on the front page like real magazines. It also uses conventions like a double page spread with a model on one page and writing on the other, and including an interview quote, to identify it as an indie rock magazine. However, it challenges conventions by portraying the musician in a relaxed way rather than angry, and not including instruments, to make the magazine stand out from typical indie magazines.
Evaluation Question 2
The document describes how the media product, a magazine, uses conventions typical of real magazines, such as including a masthead, barcode, and having the main artist on the cover looking at the camera. While challenging conventions by having the artist look away could have fit with the indie genre, the author chose to follow typical conventions for the first issue to attract readers.
Question 1
While the genre of a magazine for teenage girls limits how much the forms and conventions can be challenged, the author's magazine takes some steps in that direction. The images feature models of various shapes and sizes dressed modestly in white, challenging conventions of implying sexuality or materialism. However, the photos are still professionally shot in a studio like typical magazines. Fonts and colors are bright and playful like expected, but only one large image is used on the cover rather than many as is conventional. Overall, the author challenged conventions somewhat while still maintaining appeal for the target audience.
Task 3
The document outlines the stages of production for a music magazine. It describes researching similar magazines, deciding on a genre, designing covers and layouts using paper sketches and Photoshop, organizing photo shoots, getting feedback, and improving the designs. It believes specialist music magazine distributor WWMD would be most likely to distribute the new magazine since it focuses on a similar audience as magazines they already carry like Q, Uncut, and NME.
Q1
The magazine uses and develops conventions of real music magazines. It was inspired by magazines like NME and Q in its design, fonts, titles, and color scheme. The title "Indiscovered" appeals to the indie genre and highlights how smaller bands are emerging. The symmetrical layout and use of props like guitars follows conventions. Photographs show bands and were manipulated to tie into the green, yellow, and white color scheme, developing conventions of real magazines.
Evaluation question 7
1) The student's preliminary magazine cover lacked fonts and had an image that was simply pasted without cropping, while their final cover used different fonts relating to the genre and had a cropped and background image, giving it a more professional look.
2) The preliminary cover lines were unclear and wouldn't stand out, whereas the final cover lines are clear. The preliminary masthead was too basic and wouldn't attract attention, but the final masthead stands out in a bold font and color.
3) The preliminary cover lacked conventions like a main cover line, puff, skyline, issue number, and variety of fonts, which are all included in the final production, showing an improvement in Photoshop skills.
Looking back at your preliminary task, what
The document discusses what the author has learned from their preliminary school magazine task to their final magazine task. They learned to do more research on professional magazines to influence aspects like language used and layout. Researching conventions allowed the author to follow or break conventions purposefully. Defining the target audience and their needs and expectations was also important. Features like barcodes and pricing informed the professional look. The title was chosen to reflect the target audience and genre. Layout elements like font size, photos, and selling lines were considered. Developing a house style makes the magazine memorable. Choosing appropriate models also reflected the readers.
Evaluation q 5
The document discusses research and planning for an indie magazine. The creator surveyed 20 people about their color preferences for an indie magazine. Red was the most popular, followed by mustard and black. Using this feedback, the creator designed the magazine with a color scheme of red, black, and mustard. During production, the creator used fonts recommended as edgy and alternative. Photography was done in a studio rather than outside to look smarter. Feedback from audiences praised the contrasting colors that stood out from typical magazines and recognized the magazine as indie based on its unusual design elements.

Q1
The document discusses how the author's media product challenges conventions of real media products. The author first researched existing music magazines to understand their key features and standards. This provided guidance for creating their own magazine. While using existing magazines as inspiration, the author aimed to make their magazine unique through distinctive layout, images, and text to attract customers in competition with other magazines.
Audience research (2)
The document discusses researching similar products and target audiences for a music magazine coursework project. The author decided to create an indie/scene style magazine targeting a niche indie audience. This niche market allows the author to focus on the specific needs and interests of indie music fans in a more satisfying way and be more imaginative, despite potentially lower sales from a smaller audience.
Task 10
One model will wear natural makeup to appeal to indie music fans who don't modify their look, while another will wear red lipstick, a stereotypical feature associated with the genre. Models will wear items like bomber jackets and Dr. Martens boots paired with jeans and tights to depict the alternative genre. Props like instruments will be used minimally and not on the cover, as individuality and artist style alone can successfully promote the genre with honesty.
Question 1
The document discusses various ways in which the media product challenges conventions of real magazines.
It describes making the masthead bold and visible like Vibe magazine but with a silver color to represent exclusivity. Studio photography is used instead of location shots to look professional.
The front cover includes standard elements like masthead and barcode but keeps the simplicity with two colors. It also includes a QR code and slogan to engage readers.
The contents page lists feature sections in bold and matches pictures to text. Individual models are labeled in the interview section unlike typical magazines.
Question 5 survey response 5
The survey asked respondents about their perceptions of a music magazine, including what genre they thought it represented, whether codes and conventions were clearly displayed through layout and design, if social groups were properly represented, and if the models' appearances matched the genre. Respondents generally felt the color scheme worked well and the layout avoided overcrowding while ensuring text stood out from photos, but some thought the main band photo could be smaller and individual photos larger.
Dragons den pitch
The document discusses the planning for a new rock music magazine targeted at young teens just starting to get into rock music. The creator used research on popular magazine genres and created a prototype to help decide on fonts and pictures. There is space in the market for this type of magazine as rock magazines are currently popular. Photos planned for the magazine will feature a new band in Bristol in front of graffiti.
Initial plans - print project
This document outlines Joy Buck's initial plans for her magazine project. She considers doing a dog magazine or video game magazine but is unsure if she can complete those ideas. She creates mind maps exploring 3 potential topics. Her final mind map leads her to create a magazine about being a tomboy. She creates a mood board analyzing the repetition in color, style and mood of the images. This will influence the aesthetic of her magazine. She develops a schedule with tasks like taking photos, finalizing writing and layout, and completing the project in 5 weeks.
Evaluation: Question 2
The document discusses how a media product represents social groups. It focuses on a rock/metal music magazine. The cover features a lead singer dressed in a rock/punk style to match the genre. Throughout the magazine, the models and people wear clothes similar to the target audience's style, supporting common stereotypes. However, the document notes stereotypes may not fully represent all readers. Overall, the magazine's representation supports typical portrayals of the social group, which engages the target audience.
Who would be the audience for my media
The document discusses the design choices made in creating a magazine to appeal to a target audience. Non-verbal cues and color were used on the cover to imply the magazine's content. A consistent house style and pull quotes were used throughout the pages. Peers were asked to dress in styles representing the music genre covered to replicate the look of artists. Props like guitars and microphones were also included. A balance of serious and humorous article tones was struck to keep readers entertained. Market research informed graphs on the target audience's concert preferences, social media use, and income level, which were addressed through design elements to engage "prosumers."
Music Magazine deconstruction
This document discusses the design choices for a magazine cover about music charts and upcoming musicians. It presents several options for the magazine name and masthead designs using modern, sophisticated fonts and colors. The main image selected is of a female artist cropped close to her face to look more professional. Additional fonts are chosen to not make the cover look messy. The house style will use rich purples, natural tones, and greys to appeal to both genders. The writing will use an informal tone and genre-specific lingo depending on the artist.
Evaluation Question 4
The artist aims to make readers feel they can relate to the models by portraying them as coming from non-upper class families and having worked for their fame. The clothes worn by the models are their own and not expensive designer wear to seem relatable to readers who likely can't afford such clothes. The overall theme of the magazine is to relate to and encourage readers, making them feel they can achieve great things like those featured in the magazine.
My prodcut against social groups
The document discusses how the author's media product represents a particular social group. The product is a magazine targeted towards guitarists and fans of modern rock music. The author dresses models in the magazine casually to represent the target audience. The magazine's modern design with fonts, colors, and reviews of the latest gear also aims to represent that audience. The author did not try to make the magazine different from others in the genre as it targets a niche group the author is part of. The magazine is meant to support ideas about that social group.
Andrew
The document discusses how the author attracts their audience to their independent music magazine. They use bright colors that catch the reader's eye, as well as a unique masthead that regular readers recognize.

The consistent font and positioning of the masthead from issue to issue is also an identifying characteristic that draws in the audience.
Question 5 survey respose 3

The respondent identified the magazine as indie based on the social groups represented and felt the codes and conventions of magazines were on display through the column text layout and clear house style. Minor improvements such as adding more content to tables and filling blank space were suggested, and while the front model appeared more suitable for rock, the other models clearly represented the indie genre.
Question 5 survey response 4
The document is a survey about audience feedback on a final magazine product. It asks respondents about what genre the magazine represents, whether the codes and conventions of magazines are clear, what could be improved, what social groups are represented, if the color scheme is clear, and if the models represent the intended genre.
Task 10
One model will wear natural makeup to fit the indie music stereotype while another will wear red lipstick to portray status. Models will wear items like bomber jackets and Dr. Martens boots associated with the alternative genre. Props like instruments will be used minimally and not on the cover to depict the genre through the artists and locations instead of props, focusing on individuality and honesty.
Question 5 survey response 1
The survey asked respondents about their feedback on a magazine. Respondents indicated that they found the magazine's layout and organization appealing. They felt the content and images clearly represented the genre of indie rock music. One respondent suggested reducing the amount of text on double page spreads, while another noted that the models, camera composition, and clothing helped represent the indie genre.
My evaluation
Will Harris evaluates his music magazine project. He based his magazine style on The Wire, Clash, Dazed, and Sneeze magazines, using conventions like fixed-width fonts and centering the masthead at the top of the cover page. He developed conventions further, like using minimal cover lines to focus on the artist. He challenged conventions with an unstructured double-page spread. His target audience is 20-year-olds, and he represents them through images of individuals expressing themselves through fashion and music. He aims to attract this audience with affordable price, interviews, and casual tone. He thinks Dazed Media would be a good distributor because they celebrate youth culture through multiple platforms.

Proposal
My target audience for the indie magazine is individuals aged 14-24, who enjoy indie music and culture. They use social media like Tumblr and Instagram and enjoy discovering new indie bands. The magazine will cost £4.99 to appeal to this demographic. Content will focus on indie music, fashion, and culture while maintaining an independent style not seen in mainstream publications. Reception theory suggests the magazine's meaning will vary between readers based on their backgrounds and experiences.

Consistent use of a unique brand color across different elements is meant to make the magazine stand out from competitors and appeal to readers.
Statement of intent front page
The document discusses plans for a magazine cover aimed at empowering young female hip-hop audiences. It will be called "QUEEN" to empower women, unlike the magazine "KING" which portrays women as sexually objectified. The masthead design will feature a reversed "E" like Eminem's album cover to make it bold and distinctive. The main cover image will show an attractive female hip-hop artist to inspire the target audience. Cover lines will use different fonts and colors to advertise music, gossip, and contests in a way that interests the target readership.

The masthead design will feature a reversed "E" like Eminem's album cover to make it bold and distinctive. The main cover image will show an attractive female hip-hop artist to inspire the target audience. Cover lines will use different fonts and colors to advertise music, gossip, and contests in a way that interests the target readership.

For their project, the student created an R&B music magazine individually over ten weeks. They learned new skills like photo editing in Photoshop and layout design in InDesign.

Roland Barthes 2
Roland Barthes was a French literary theorist and philosopher who developed five codes that are woven into any narrative: the Hermeneutic Code, Proairetic Code, Semantic Code, Symbolic Code, and Cultural Code. The Hermeneutic Code refers to unexplained elements that create mystery and suspense, while the Proairetic Code indicates events that lead the reader to speculate about what will happen next. The Semantic and Symbolic Codes relate to extended meanings and organization of meanings. The Cultural Code refers to canonical works that establish foundations of truth.
Evaluation Question 2
My magazine represents young women aged 16-25 who enjoy dance music and club culture. It features my two female friends, Carly and Jess, wearing tight, revealing dresses stereotypically associated with nightclubs on the cover and inside pages to attract both male and female readers. Throughout the magazine, the models and thumbnail artist photos aim to portray a sense of fun and appeal to those interested in partying and female pop artists.
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. Their contents page included numbering, images, headings, and highlighted text. Their double page spread featured an eye-catching image, consistent style, clear text, and visible artist names. The student analyzed similarities and differences between their designs and professional magazines.

Media deconstructions
This cover uses a simple color scheme of black, white, pink and grey that complement each other well. Katy Perry's provocative posture and intense eye contact are intended to entice readers to learn more about her latest music and persona. Her revealing clothing highlights her transformation into a more provocative artist known for quirky fashion statements. The masthead stands out against the white background in a bold pink font that ties the design together and draws the eye to the important cover lines.

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.

Media magazine montage
- 1. Mastheads These Mastheads that I have chosen are the ones that personally stand out to me. The colours that have been used are bold and bright and highly recognisable to the target audience. The mixmag mastheads always use different colours to match the colour scheme of the magazine as do NME, smash! hits, VIBE and Billboard. This is to ensure that the audience see something different every time they go to buy this magazine.
- 2. Lures The lures I have chosen are from the same magazines that the Mastheads were taken from. This is to show what one magazine cover can contain. I have chosen these specific lures as I feel that they are most likely to entice a reader into buying the magazine. To me the lure is what I will have to think about carefully when creating my magazine as I know that it is the finished product that will determine whether my magazine could be a success or not.
- 3. The colours used on the magazine colours Colour Schemes are all used so that they don't clash with each other. The colours have to coordinate well otherwise the front cover will look messy and unattractive to the target audience. The colours also fit in with who ever is featured in the front cover. Sophisticated act, sophisticated colour scheme. Quirky act, quirky colour scheme. For my magazine I will have to think about the nature of the magazine and whether the colour scheme I have selected will fit in well with the feature and whether the colour scheme is suitable for a professional magazine.
- 4. Artists The artist featured on the front cover of a magazine is normally only featured if they have released a new single, album, fashion range etc. It is normally a main stream artist on the front cover as they are more recognisable and the target audience is more likely to be attracted to the magazine if an artist they know is on the front cover. On my magazine cover I will have to think about how I can attract people to my magazine. I will have to think whether I should use main stream artists within my lures or whether I should treat my model as a mainstream artist.
- 5. Main Image All these main images have a certain significance to them. All the artists are posing in a way that suggests what their article is about. Many artists are set out to prove to their fans that they are who they are and they portray this through their music. On my front cover I will have to think about how the pose links in with the article title. If the pose is not one that fits well it may look confusing to the audience and therefore suggesting that this magazine is a messy, unorganised one.
