Lo 3 proposal 1
This document is a proposal for a print music magazine called "MM Magazine" focused on classic rock. The magazine will have a black and white color scheme and bold font inspired by Mojo Magazine. It will feature photographs, songs, artist information, concerts, and lesser-known bands. The target audience is mostly males over 35 who enjoy classic rock artists like AC/DC. The proposal aims to create a 3-page magazine including front and back covers in the dimensions of Mojo Magazine.
Unit 13 lo2
Rhia De Carlo is pitching a print-based music magazine called "MM (Music Matters)" focused on classic rock genres. The magazine will include articles on classic rock artists, their music and latest news. It will target male audiences aged 35+ and have a monthly publication schedule. The magazine's design elements like the masthead, color scheme and layouts were inspired by existing magazines like Mojo. Hand drawn drafts of the front cover and double page spreads were created to demonstrate the planned magazine layout and content.
As Media Studies Evaluation
My Media Product challenges real music magazines by featuring up-and-coming bands not well known yet and focusing on a recent "Battle of the Bands" event. It aims to appeal to teenagers and young adults who enjoy rock and metal music. The magazine layout mimics real magazines with large eye-catching fonts, varied text sizes, and column structures. It represents the social groups of rockers and metalheads through its bold colors, rebellious language, and cropped images of bands playing their instruments live. The magazine would be effectively distributed at newsagents, music festivals, and online to reach its target 15-21 year old audience.
Question three: In what ways does your product use, develop or challenge form...
The document discusses how a music magazine product was influenced by and followed conventions of the existing magazine Kerrang!, but also sought to differentiate itself. Specifically:
Kerrang! influenced the use of bright colors on the cover to attract readers, though darker colors were used instead. Conventions like including a main image, barcode, and cover lines were followed. The contents page featured stereotypical rock clothing to indicate music genres.
An article included a dropped red capital letter to tie the color scheme together. Headlines and straplines were used to intrigue readers without giving the entire story away. The only challenged convention was portraying two female artists prominently to counter the typically male-dominated representation in rock magazines
Magazine presentation
The document outlines plans for a new rock music magazine targeting 18-25 year old males interested in modern and alternative rock music. The magazine will focus on genres like alternative, cinematic, and hard/soft rock. It will be published monthly for £2.00 to appeal to its target audience. The first issue will feature Mallory Knox on the cover to represent the bands and music covered within. The magazine aims to not only report on rock news and stories, but also provide tips to help readers succeed in the rock music industry.
Preliminary Task and Planning
This document contains the planning and research for Elizabeth Plumb's music magazine project. It includes summaries of her preliminary front cover and contents page designs, research on music magazines and her target audiences, and research on the publishers of her magazines of inspiration, Q Magazine and We Love Pop. The document provides details on her design iterations based on feedback, research on magazine production processes and music magazine sales declines, and profiles of the target readers of Q Magazine and We Love Pop.
AS Media Evaluation - Question 3
Time Inc. would be an ideal institution to distribute the media product due to its global reach, wide range of genres covered, and reputation in the print industry. While Time Inc. currently publishes two music magazines, the proposed magazine would feature different genres (punk, metal, psychedelic) and target audiences (ages 16-25). Other potential publishers like Bauer Media and TeamRock were rejected due to concerns about competing with their existing music magazines. The magazine would be distributed through major retailers like WHSmith and supermarket chains, as well as smaller music stores and post offices to reach both mainstream and niche audiences interested in the genres covered.
Audience Research - Results and Conclusions
The document summarizes the results of a questionnaire conducted to gain insights into what the public wants from a music magazine. Key findings include:
- The target audience is 16-20 year olds, with genres like hip-hop and dance/electronic being most popular.
- Covers with big artists and upcoming artists are most appealing. Interviews and news on new/upcoming artists should be emphasized.
- Common colors associated with rock magazines are black, white, and red, which could be used in the color scheme.
- A price of £3-4 per issue is recommended to appeal to the target audience.
- Monthly publication is suggested based on readers' browsing habits in

Evaluation for music magazine
The document describes a music magazine created by Kieron Mackney aimed at males aged 16-21 who enjoy rock music. The magazine features local rock bands through images and interviews. It was designed using layouts from similar rock magazines to attract its target audience through appropriate images and language.

Eleza pitch
This document outlines a pitch for a new music magazine focused on upcoming heavy metal and rock artists. The key points are:
1) The magazine will focus on promoting emerging heavy metal artists, filling a gap in the market between more mainstream magazines and those focused solely on established acts.
2) Potential publishing partners like TeamRock and Bauer have expressed interest due to the unfilled niche the magazine proposes.
3) The target audience is metal fans aged 14+ who enjoy heavier and more alternative music.
4) The magazine's style will have a chaotic but organized layout using black, red, and yellow with informal writing to connect personally with readers.
Task 8 conclusion
From research on magazine readers' preferences, the respondent discovered that readers find text and images providing insights into musicians' interests and lifestyles most important. There were mixed opinions on whether the main cover image should feature a group or single artist. Ultimately, having a well-liked artist on the cover was deemed most likely to increase demand for the issue, as many respondents said they wouldn't purchase the magazine without a cover artist they enjoy.

The 'Z' reading pattern was also fully realized. Overall, they have progressed from an initial simpler design to an unconventional yet polished final magazine product.

Media Evaluation tom standen
My media product is a magazine about rock music aimed at an audience of 16-25 year olds. It uses some common magazine conventions like the title placement but also challenges conventions by using only black and white imagery. The magazine represents its target audience of rock music fans in that age group. It could potentially be distributed in music shops, supermarkets, or online on music festival or band websites to reach its audience. Through creating the magazine, I learned new skills in Photoshop and about designing magazines for the digital age.
Jessica's evaluation
My media product follows conventions of real music magazines. It has elements like masthead, bar code, and price. The color scheme of red, black, and white is used to clearly identify it as a music magazine. Photos were taken in portrait format for the cover to allow cropping, and landscape for interior shots. The audience is teenagers and young adults who are fans of rock music. Research was done on magazines like Kerrang, Q, and NME to inform the design. Digital distribution through websites and social media was also considered to reach this audience.

Hazel Doyle analyzed three double page spreads from issues of Kerrang! magazine to research layout styles. The spreads had different layouts, images, and levels of formality. One used columns and had a ripped paper effect. It included a pull quote to engage readers. Another used full band photos and a caption with humor. The third used bold fonts, pull quotes, action shots, and film strip-style photos to attract attention. Hazel chose these varied examples to inspire her own double page spread design.

Music Mag Evaluation
- 1. Hazel Doyle AS Media Studies – Magazine Evaluation
- 2. My Magazine These are images of my front cover, contents page and my double page spread for my music magazine. I chose to call the magazine ROCK UK as I felt it was simple and effective and immediately tells the reader that it is a UK magazine for rock music.
- 3. I used a lot of the main key features found in rock and metal mags in my magazine, the bold, dark masthead is typical of the genre, the empowering low angle shots often found in other music magazines of the genre. My house style is quite dark and is quite similar to that of other rock/metal magazines on the market. I found my magazine is quite organised in how the information is displayed and fitted into the classic magazine layout with the cover lines over in the left third of my magazine and the main cover line stretched across the middle of the cover image. My magazine is original with its u.s.p as it is a magazine that focuses solely on UK rock and metal acts unlike other magazines on the market which also focus on international acts.
- 4. Audience I attracted my audience through my photography and the house style of my magazine. I looked at the house style of other Rock and Metal magazines on the market as inspiration for my own work. My survey results show my audience were attracted mainly by my photography and my magazine layout.
- 5. I think my magazine represented the rock and metal fans quite well. My cover image and house style visually represent the groups as quite dark and the cover image is quite aggressive and imposing which fits in quite well with the “metal head” stereotype. I also chose the masthead font specifically as I think it looks quite similar to a font you would find on the cover of a metal CD or as a band logo. My survey I created for feedback on survey monkey showed my audience recognised the type of person well with 100% of people saying the thought the audience would be a metal fan and 5/8 saying they thought a rock fan would buy it as well.
- 6. Distribution I think the institutions that would distribute my product would be places like WHSmith through distribution companies such as IPC and other stores such as HMV and other high street stores, the reason I think they would distribute it is because it is commercial and is quite a mainstream magazine like Kerrang! Or Metal Hammer instead of being a specialist magazine such as the online magazine metal message.
