Music magazine contents pages
The document discusses the design elements used in contents pages from three different magazines. It analyzes the color schemes, images, and text used in each contents page. The color schemes are used effectively and do not clash with images. However, some of the text is small and could be difficult to read for some. The images are relevant to the magazine themes and artists featured in articles.
Resaearch
The layout is simple and uncluttered, allowing easy reading. A main story grabs readers' attention and provides insight. Limited layering decreases clutter but could be improved. Images promote direct interaction with readers. However, heavy central text could bore readers due to lack of innovation. Yellow text on blue background strains eyes and clashes.
Questions 5 6
The document discusses the process of constructing a magazine product. It describes using various technologies like Adobe Photoshop to create the cover and contents page, applying effects like drop shadows. Adobe InDesign was used to create a double page spread, with tips provided on inserting images and text. Microsoft Word and online platforms like Blogger and SlideShare were also utilized at different stages of the process. Photographic equipment like a Kodak camera was used to take high quality photos for the magazine.
Preliminary evaluation
The document asks candidates to produce the front cover and contents page of a school/college magazine using desktop publishing software like InDesign and image editing software like Photoshop. This will demonstrate their understanding of desktop publishing.
The front cover must feature a medium close up photograph of a student plus appropriately laid out text and masthead. The contents page mock up aims to showcase their grasp of organizing magazine content and layout.
Construction of contents page
The document describes the process of creating a contents page for a magazine. It discusses choosing fonts consistently with the cover, adding short descriptive coverlines under article titles, selecting images that illustrate the coverlines, and including an editor's message to draw readers in. The outcome was a contents page that conveyed the genre and included coverlines to put the intended message across to the target audience.
Evaluation Q1
This document discusses the conventions used in magazine design and how the student's magazine production challenged some conventions while adhering to others. Specifically:
- The student used professional conventions like carefully chosen cover images, adjustment layers, mastheads, cover lines, and barcodes to make the magazine look authentic.
- However, the student challenged the convention of having models on the cover in direct address by instead using an image to convey the magazine's serious tone.
- Inside pages included article layout in columns, drop capitals, and a stretched title across a double-page spread, mimicking professional design.
Resaearch
The document provides feedback on the layout, design elements, and adherence to conventions of a magazine contents page. It notes that the layout is simplistic but effective in spreading out information for easy reading. However, it could benefit from more innovation and limiting text-heavy sections. The masthead doesn't follow the usual code of spanning the top of the page. Overall, the reviewer aims to improve the mode of address and reduce clutter for the actual magazine.

Genre conventions (1)
The document summarizes key traits seen in generic rock, pop, and rap music videos:
Rock music videos often feature the band performing with instruments like guitars and drums. They commonly tell a story that relates to the song's message.
Pop videos aim to feel happy and positive. Dancers of a different gender than the artist are usually included. Stories are less common than in rock since pop songs have fewer underlying messages.
Rap videos vary between calm scenes of substance usage and angry scenes of confronting the viewer. Artists are usually in urban settings without much story, as rap songs don't often have hidden meanings.
