The content and double page spreads will maintain consistency with the front cover design and color scheme to provide a cohesive look. Images will prominently feature the subject of the main article.
My classical music magazine
The document describes changes made from the initial planning to the final product of a classical music magazine. Key changes included using a different font for the masthead to make it less overpowering, repositioning feature articles on the contents page to better fit the genre, and changing the double page spread layout to look simpler and more reflective of classical music. Conventions of music magazines, like white backgrounds and cut-out images on the cover, were followed while some elements like including a violin challenged expectations. The target audience of 25-55 year olds from a middle-class background was researched based on similar magazines.
Question 555
The document discusses how the author designed their magazine to attract their target audience of 16-25 year olds of both genders.

Question 2
My media product represents the social group of aggressive young black men typically featured in R&B/Hip Hop magazines. Though not specifically targeting any group, my double page spread features three black African/American male models from my school posed in an intimidating manner, consistent with the aggressive and threatening aesthetics commonly seen in my genre. The models are not adorned with jewelry but their dress and facial expressions match the conventions of portraying tough, masculine groups normally seen in R&B and Hip Hop magazines.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

My music magazine finished
- 1. My Music Magazine By Amna Afzal
- 2. logo • The colour scheme i had chosen for my logo was red and white, this is because it looks urban and are two unique colours, also the font i had chosen looks like a type of graffiti which is what we usually see on the streets and in music magazines and also music videos. • Originally the colour scheme i had chosen for my logo was black and yellow, but i felt that the colours didn't match as well to my standards and didn't look urban enough to me or the type of colours we would use or see in a music video or magazine. i chose to put my logo on a black background as it makes the colours stand out and show more.
- 3. Front cover picture. I decided to use this photo as my front cover picture because he looks attractive and intimidating this will grab the target audiences attention and make them want to find out of who this person is, its more interesting when its just one person on the front cover. As you can see from the before photo i had managed to crop out the background bit that was not needed, i also brightened and edited the contrast on the photo to make it stand out a bit more as the pictures i had taken wasn't of a very good quality so i edited it in photo shop. Before After
- 4. Contents page picture. I decided to use this picture as my contents page because its something different and unique, the picture looks as if the person is making direct eye contact with you which is more engaging , he looks like he's got a serious face on, as we know in hip hop and R&B music magazines the boys look intimidating towards the audience. Again i cropped the background bit that was not needed and also enhanced and contrasted the photo and also used the burn tool to make the photo stand out more. Before After
- 5. Double page spread picture. Before After The picture i had taken was a bit dark so i had brightened it up a bit in photo shop and adjusted the contrast on to the photo i also lightened the shadowed areas, i also used the dodge and burn tool to make the photo more vibrant and enhanced. By using the wizard and rubber tool i managed to take out the background as i did not want that in my photo. I also cropped one person out that i didn't need.
- 6. The pictures i was going to choose from.
- 7. Pictures i decided to use.
- 8. Front cover annotationThe logo is show able and stands out, this grabs the attention of the target audience. The house style is red and white same as the logo. Drop down shadow to give an affect. Mixed colours, the main writing in white and the colour red as the shadow for affect. Same as the house style. Bar code. The picture and is the main part of the magazine i made sure the model looks attractive and looks serious i done this by making him not smile. And grab on to a bit of his clothes. I also brightened up the photo for a light effect. The main persons name is in big and bold and stands out this also links in with the photo because the photo is big and its the first thing we see when we look at the magazine, and so is the title. Shape of a circle its something different which has a rhetorical question in the inside. What this magazine includes, and also what the genre is. The price.
- 9. Contents page annotation.The logo being promoted on the contents page aswell. Page numbers in big and bold so its nice and clear for the readers to navigate them selves around the magazine. The main focus on what topic will be spoken about on each page so the audience understands what they will be reading. House style, is consistent through out, this makes it look formal and the readers will not get confused about what they are looking at. The main heading is in big and bold, so the readers understand what they are looking at. Promoting the date of its release, so the readers know how old or new the magazine is. The picture is the first thing you see when you look at the page its big and eye catching, this is representing the main person that will be spoken about. This is presenting the main person that is being shown.
- 10. Double page spread annotation. The main groups name, again its in big and bold and is used in the consistency of the house style. Drop down shadows used to give an glowing affect. Logo is being promoted yet again but this time very small yet it is still visible. The main group that are being spoken about, they're picture is big and fills up nearly the whole page as they are the main topic that will be spoken about on this page this will make it easier for the readers so they understand what they are reading. And who is being spoken about. This is a bit about the band and what this page is promoting about the three boys.
- 11. Conclusion. • The reason of why i had chosen the house style and consistency that i did throughout was because it looked formal, less clutter and easy to read. • I chose to keep the colours Red and White throughout so its easier for the readers to read • Whereas if i had used mixed colours on each page this would confuse the reader and not look • professional at all. • The font i had chosen to use was Bold and a normal font because by trying not to make it • hard for the reader by changing the font style some people may find the font hard to read so • that's why i had kept the font style consistent throughout and just stuck to the original font. • I had also presented my logo on every page to promote my magazine company logo this will make the readers attracted to the logo and they will end up remembering the company's magazine as they had seen it on every page. • The pictures i had decided to use was meant to be looking as if they were intimidating as its a r&b and hip hop music magazine and in most music magazines that's how they are presented as. • My magazine is aimed at mostly the youth of today. • I avoided using foul language and provocative images.
