The concepts include group shots of bands, solo artist shots, and interview/behind the scenes images. Neutral backgrounds and bright lighting are preferred to attract the target female audience. Outfits should look stylish but affordable. Props are limited to enhance the natural poses. Risk assessments note potential hazards and ways to mitigate issues at each location.
The document summarizes the results of an online survey conducted with a sample of 10 people to gather information to help design a music magazine. Key findings include:
1) Most respondents read magazines sometimes, so the magazine should be distributed monthly.
2) Popular music genres include rock, indie, and pop, so the magazine can feature a variety of genres but focus on pop artists.
3) Respondents prefer magazines to be simplistic in design.
4) Popular magazine content includes interviews, artist profiles, and new singles.
5) Casual clothing like jeans and t-shirts are preferred for artist photos.
The document outlines the design plans for the cover, layout, and contents page of a proposed music magazine. Key elements include:
- A simplistic design with bright neon colors, a logo masthead, and justified cover lines.
- A double page spread with the main artist/band image on one page and column-formatted article on the other.
- A contents page with a gradient background, logo-aligned masthead, and fun prop image related to the genre.
- Standard elements like the issue number, website, and publish date will be included.
The document discusses the layout and design choices for a school magazine. It describes taking inspiration from magazines like Q and Kerrang by placing the main cover line over a central image and using a box out. It also mentions placing the magazine title behind an image to seem professional but mischievous. The contents page layout is meant to be simplistic but effective.
The document contains the results of a survey about ideas for a school magazine.
It includes 14 questions with responses from both a paper survey and an online survey using Survey Monkey. Some key findings were that most readers preferred a general magazine published monthly with competitions and interviews, and that the magazine be free rather than requiring payment. The feedback established target details for the magazine to appeal to and engage readers.
The document outlines a shooting schedule for photos at the JMA school's main entrance and outside various classroom buildings (PODS) on Friday, October 26th. The main entrance photo will feature two people interacting at the entrance to create the impression of a typical school day. Additional photos will be taken outside different PODS with letters indicating each classroom building, including one photo of someone pointing to a POD letter. The photos will be used on the school's website contents page and to depict lessons occurring in each POD.

8. Text: The title of the article is very bold with the conventional colours of black and white, the
writing used again is very rebellious due to the fact that it is the story of the artists, therefore this
may be why certain capitals are used for certain letters. The font used is similar to that used on a
ransom note, therefore this may contribute to her story. Some of the most important text is in red
which matches the artists shirt and also the writer of the article is red so that it stands out from the
other text. The article its self is justified into columns in order to make it easier for the audience to
read, also as I mentioned before regarding other magazines, the beginning of the article starts with
a bold capital letter.
Image: Similarly to most magazines the image is justified to the right hand side, and is cut away
and placed onto a background. She is not doing a particular rocky pose, she is just natural.
However she is wearing quite dark eye make up and is wearing a red baggy lumber jack shirt.
The facial expression in which she's is pulling ‘’I’m not bothered’’ obviously illustrates what the
article is about. Her hair is slightly messed but straightened over her face to show her rebellious
personality. She also has her hands on her hips to create a stern look to reinforce her
personality traits.

11. The text is justified to the left hand side of this page, however it is in an unusual format as the
image takes up some of this page too. This means that the amount of text in which they are
obviously going to use is restricted. The title of this article is very bold and larger than the rest of
the text, I would presume that the font would link with the artists CD cover or merchandise as it
is different to NME’s master head. Also main quotations and key points within the text, including
the first letter of the article are in blue, so that the audience can easily pick out this information.
The actual article itself follows traditional conventions of a magazine as it is justified and
paragraphed into columns.
The image as I mentioned above is very large on this double page spread as it take up the whole of
the left page, but it also overlaps onto the second page, resulting in the amount of text being less,
this is probably down to the target audience, as they would prefer to look at the image rather than
read the interview, also it would attract a less educated audience as there would be less to read. The
image itself is of the band, including there instruments, they are not posing as such, just looking
straight at the camera, which makes it seem as if they are looking straight to the audience.
Therefore people who like this band would really like how clear and large the image actually is.

black in order to show the image more effectively. The artist looks very casual, he is wearing a
plain white t shirt with a yellow and black cap in order to look very realistic. He has no facial
expression, however he is blowing smoke through his noes and his mouth, therefore this shows
us the edgy side of the artist. The colour of the artists cap links to the colour of the logo on the
right side of the double page spread.

17. The text is justified to the left hand side of the magazine, the title is larger than the rest of
the text which is conventional, and it is in a similar font to the master head. The main text
within the article is in blue, which obviously links to the artists however this is unknown as
there is no obvious link to the image. Similarly to other magazines the first letter of the
article is larger than the rest of the text.
The main image is justified to the right hand side of the magazine, however the image slightly
overlaps onto the right hand side of the magazine, with a small text box of information on top of
the image. Differently to other magazines this image has not been cut away and put onto a plain
background, this magazine has the scene of a street in order to make it more realistic. The artist
within the image also looks as if he is hitch hiking, which could relate to some members of the
audience. The only piece of colour which is on the right hand side of this magazine is the main
caption of the article, and this is yellow in order to link with the main master head and
background of the front page of the magazine.
