It includes initial mind maps for each magazine covering color schemes, target audiences, and content. Font styles and mood boards are presented for consideration. Hand drawn drafts show potential front cover and double page spread layouts incorporating elements like mastheads, images, interviews, and social media icons. The target audience for both magazines is identified as 15-20 year olds. Key details like monthly release schedule, 99p price point, and A4 size are outlined. Color schemes of red/white/black and white/yellow/grey are selected for "Rhythm" and "Beat" respectively.
Unit 13 lo2

- AMP will have a loud, outgoing brand image using blue and red colors to represent amplification. It will target 15-35 year olds and feature up and coming artists.
- Endure will have a professional, enduring brand image using black, grey, and yellow colors. It will also target 15-35 year olds and focus on consistency and longevity.

Media music magazine analysis powerpoint
The document describes magazine cover design elements across multiple magazine covers. Key elements include the masthead at top left, main image in the center, cover lines on the right side, and barcode and price at bottom right. Color schemes, fonts, and positioning of elements like the artist's name are used to attract readers' attention and showcase the content. The main image is typically the most prominent visual element.
Powerpoint q1
The document discusses conventions used in real media products and how the author's media product challenges or develops these conventions. Specifically:
- The magazine uses conventions like mastheads, skylines, sell lines, images, barcodes and dates found in other magazines.
- However, it challenges conventions by using unusual color schemes, separating letters in headings, and placing page numbers at the top rather than bottom.
- The target audience of 15-26 year olds is reached through a focus on R&B music news, trends and artists, as well as using social media to engage younger readers online.
Rap Magazine Media Proposal
The document proposes a new rap magazine called Genius. It will be 100-120 pages and feature pictures of rappers on one page with information about their music and careers on the facing page. The target audience is males and females aged 14-36 from social grades C1 to D of all ethnic groups interested in mainstream rap music. Distribution will be at concerts and festivals featuring artists in the magazine as well as online and retail stores. The magazine will have a dark color scheme and style reflective of rap music to attract its target audience.
Evaluation Q1
This document discusses the design and conventions used in a mock magazine called "Feature" focused on the R&B music genre. Key elements included on the cover and throughout the magazine are the masthead, skyline, sell lines, main image, secondary image, hook, barcode, date, price, and main cover line. The target audience is males and females aged 15-26 interested in keeping up with the latest R&B artists, news, and style trends. Social media is integrated to engage younger readers who may prefer accessing the magazine online rather than in print. The color scheme used is black, white, and yellow to match the edgy nature of the R&B genre.
Unit 13 lo2
The document provides details on the design choices for two proposed magazines called Rhythm and Beat focused on hip hop music. Key points include:
- The magazines will target 15-20 year olds as hip hop appeals most to that age range.
- Rhythm will use red, white, and black colors while Beat uses white, yellow, and grey.
- Images will focus on capturing audience attention and being age appropriate.
- The magazines will be released monthly to provide recent content.
- Brand identity logos will feature on every page in bright colors.
- Potential font styles were selected that are bold, eye-catching, and suit the hip hop genre.

Mag 1

The masthead uses bold text and colors to identify the magazine brand. Sell lines highlight celebrity interviews that will interest fans.

Codes conventions
This document analyzes the design elements and conventions used in the magazine cover featuring Eminem. It summarizes that the cover uses dark colors like red, black and grey to suggest a dark theme relating to rap music. Eminem is the central image and main focus as a well-known rap star.

Overall, the design follows conventions like framing the central image and uses Eminem's popularity to target his male fan audience.

Pitch presentation
Will is pitching two proposed rap/hip hop magazines titled "Rhythm" and "Beat". For each magazine, he discusses the genre, colors, size, price and target audience. He also presents graphic layouts for the front covers and double page spreads, including main images, mastheads, headlines, and branding. Key elements like large central images, catchy titles and consistent branding will be repeated across issues to develop house styles for each magazine.
Evaluation – question 5
The document provides details on how the author addressed their target audience in their indie/alternative rock magazine. They used a black, white, and red colour scheme that is common in the genre. Images were in black and white to match the genre's aesthetic. Clothing worn by models was mature but not branded to appeal to readers. Font, layout, price, and other design elements were chosen to match preferences expressed by the target audience and conventions of similar magazines. Camera work and poses of models in images were selected to align with attitudes associated with indie rock artists and appeal to readers.
Question 1 presentation
This document compares the conventions used in a real magazine cover to those used in the student's media product. It finds that both covers use elements common to magazines like mastheads, cover lines, issue dates and prices. However, the student's cover also challenges some conventions, like using a banner to advertise freebies rather than another artist. The placement and colors of elements on the student's cover are designed to stand out more while still maintaining the limited house style colors of black, white and royal blue. Overall, the analysis finds the student's media product both develops and challenges real magazine conventions in its design.
Analysis Of Professional Magazine Covers
The document discusses conventions used in magazine design, including using a bold masthead at the top of the cover to catch readers' attention, eye-catching color schemes, medium shots of cover models making eye contact, placement of cover lines and articles, issue details like number and date, and taglines to promote extras and appeal to wider audiences. Common conventions across magazines are described, along with examples from specific music magazines like NME, Kerrang, and Rock Sound that are used as inspiration for professional design appealing to target readers.
Evaluation Presentation
The document provides an analysis of magazine covers and design elements. It discusses techniques used in existing magazine covers that could be applied to the student's own music magazine cover design. These include limited color schemes, positioning of mastheads, use of artist photos, and themes that appeal to target audiences. The student considers fonts, picture editing, representation of social groups, and potential media institutions for distribution.
Music magazine analysis
This is my analysis of the front covers from three music magazines, Rolling Stone, Classic Rock and Q.
Presentation2 (1)
The layout of the magazine cover is effective in highlighting key information about Eminem. A central picture of Eminem with a stern expression hints that the article provides an in-depth look at his past drug use. Bold red text and fading grey text above help convey Eminem's past struggles and transformation away from drugs. The simple color scheme and positioning of elements keeps the focus on Eminem.
Unit 13 - LO2
The document outlines plans for a new music magazine called 808. It will target 16-35 year olds and feature hip hop and rap artists. The monthly magazine will be released for £3.99 per issue, a competitive price point. It will use a black and gold color scheme with the font "Next Ups" for the title and repeat this branding consistently throughout the publication.
