The Gentlewoman magazine stands out from mainstream magazines like Vogue with its irregular fashion style and layout. It uses asymmetrical design elements, columns and paragraphs of text, and twice as many images as text per page. Sans-serif text and a formal register with basic language communicate on a personal level to its target audience of feminist, upper-class women aged 20-30. Photographs show mid-shots of outfits with minimal editing or filters, and cropping draws attention to certain parts of the images. Color usage is limited to blacks, whites, blues and oranges with few bright colors.

Analysis of Country Magazine
The document analyzes various aspects of the front cover of a country music magazine. It finds that the masthead font is dull and aimed at an older generation. The front cover photography is an unoriginal 1950s image that emphasizes the model's expression and costume. While the cover lacks page numbers, it includes an appealing sell line about country music locations in Austin and Nashville that will resonate with the target audience. The model's costume represents the "golden age" of country music that many in the target audience will fondly remember.

A double page spread will feature a tattoo artist model looking off camera with tattoos visible.
QUESTION 1
This document discusses the forms and conventions used in typical magazines and how the student's magazine covers and contents pages either follow or challenge these conventions. A typical magazine front cover includes a midshot picture, price/date, barcode, celebrity endorsement, and masthead. The student's cover uses a close-up female picture, celebrity endorsement, and dark colors atypical for magazines. Typical contents pages include pictures related to articles and page numbers, which the student follows, but also uses contrasting colors. Double page spreads typically include a large interviewee picture, enticing title, masthead, and columns, all of which the student incorporates into their magazine.
Research into target audience primary
This document analyzes the target audience of the Kerrang! magazine through examining various elements of the magazine's design. Key points made through analyzing the cover, contents page, and double page spread include that the red and black color scheme makes the magazine look professional while appealing to its target male audience. The layouts effectively balance images and text to avoid overwhelming the reader. Bold fonts and colors are used to match the genre of music covered. Elements like a dominant central image and borders adding a "grunge" style help represent the magazine's rock/indie focus and appeal to its target readership. Insights from analyzing Kerrang! can help inform the design of a similar magazine to effectively engage its intended audience.
Research of poses
This document discusses various poses and shots used in magazine covers and analyzes their effectiveness. It notes that direct eye contact between the artist and audience helps engage the viewer. Poses that are intriguing but not overly inviting create mystery. Medium shots that show the artist from the waist up or medium-long shots are commonly used. Dark, contrasting colors against a light background help the artist stand out as the focal point. Simple yet casual poses can appeal to a wide target audience.

How does your media product represent particular social
Representation is how a social group is depicted in a particular way, such as in a magazine. The document shows an example magazine cover that represents the rock music genre conventionally with cover lines on the left side. However, the author's magazine cover depicts two models and places the cover lines at the bottom instead of the left to avoid covering up one of the models.
Codes and conventions abbey waitt
The document discusses codes and conventions for magazine front covers, analyzing examples from Billboard, Country Weekly, and Maverick magazines. Some common themes identified across magazines are bold mastheads located at the top left, colorful and bold cover lines, bright primary colors used, and close-up celebrity images. Consistency in visual elements like color schemes helps build brand recognition. Cover lines should entice readers while celebrity photos can create bonds between readers and stars.
Movie Magazine Analysis
The document analyzes the front covers of three movie magazine issues - Total Film's Inception, Empire's The Hobbit, and Total Film's Jennifer's Body. Some key design elements highlighted across the magazines include using bold mastheads that contrast with background photos, inconspicuously placing non-essential text like prices, and including enticing cover lines and exclusive photos to attract readers' attention to previews and information about the featured films. Color schemes, font styles, and photo placement are also discussed as important factors in drawing attention to relevant content while not distracting from the main advertising messages.
Double page spread deconstructions
This document analyzes and summarizes several music magazine double page spreads. It discusses conventions around layout elements like images, text columns, color palettes. For one spread, it notes the unusual placement of a central image instead of a left-side image, and a limited color scheme that doesn't make the article stand out. Another spread discussed effectively uses a pull quote and kicker to attract readers with an exclusive story.
Photographs
The document discusses photographs the author took to use for the front cover of their music magazine. Photograph 6 was ultimately selected as it fits the folk/acoustic genre of the magazine, features a subject with a powerful yet relaxed pose, and has a natural background that conveys the magazine's theme while avoiding distracting elements seen in other photos.
Question: 1 evaluation
The document discusses how the media product of a magazine called "RIOT MAG" uses and develops conventions of real rock music magazines. It conforms to stereotypes associated with rock by focusing on rock bands. The font, masthead colors of red, white and grey are reminiscent of rock magazines like Q. Concise text and a single prominent band image on the cover also follow conventions. However, inconsistent house colors across pages and a focus on images rather than barcodes break some conventions to achieve a chaotic riot aesthetic.
The Pitch
This document outlines plans for a new indie music magazine, including:
- The working title "Lost Souls" represents people feeling lost without or within music.
- The magazine will focus on the indie genre and aim to appeal to a large, 16-18 year old audience of music listeners.
- It will be published weekly for $2.50, providing up-to-date content for readers.
- The magazine's style will have a vintage, unique look to reflect the indie genre while appealing to younger readers.
- Sample color schemes, fonts, and draft page layouts are presented for a light, orange-accented design appealing to the target audience.
Evaluation quest 1 magazine cover
The document analyzes the conventions used in magazine covers and compares them to the student's own magazine cover design. It finds that the student's cover follows some conventions but also challenges some conventions. It uses large central images like other magazines but places the image off-center. It also includes more smaller images than typical. For text, it uses a similar masthead to Empire magazine but could have improved the use of color to make the main image pop more against the background.
Music magazine deconstruction
The document summarizes and analyzes the layout, design elements, and intended messaging of two magazine covers. For the first cover: the masthead is layered behind imagery and in front of the background to stand out from afar; the color scheme uses black, white, yellow and red to match the masthead and subject's clothing; her gaze is friendly but not direct to seem approachable; text describes her as "regal" and "innocent". For the second cover: the vertical masthead still shows magazine status; the red/white color scheme is consistent; the subject's gaze and wet hair/thin vest imply rebirth and newness as described in the pull quote. Both summaries effectively communicate the key cover
Style sheet
The document discusses style and layout plans for an indie pop magazine. It describes choosing simple colors like white, grey, and pastels for the backgrounds and text. The font Homizio Nova Regular is selected for articles as it is easy to read like magazines Q and NME. Dolce Vita Heavy Bold is picked for the masthead as it has a sharp, clean look like The Fly magazine. Photography plans include shooting a cover with two models posing as an indie pop duo in a studio. A double page spread will feature individual shots of each model in different poses. The contents page will include a medium long shot of a male musician and a medium shot of a female musician playing guitar in an urban setting.
Evaluation Q1 - Magazine
My media product challenges conventions of real magazines by using lighter colors and high key lighting in photos. While it borrows certain design elements like centered mastheads and side subtitles from Empire magazine, it develops these further by adding more coverlines for visual interest. The model looks in a different direction than in Empire and has a less intense facial expression, appropriate for representing the lighter tone of my fictional film. Overall, my magazine simplifies conventions but challenges expectations by shooting the cover photo on location against a plain brick wall rather than in a studio.
Cover 2 selection
The document discusses a photo being considered for the front cover of a magazine. It notes that the photo stands out due to the large contrast in colors between the man's clothing and the background. Bright lighting enhances this contrast and eliminates shadows. However, there is one shadow under the man's right arm due to lack of lighting from all angles, which is atypical for magazine covers. The man's relaxed body language fits the magazine's laidback theme. The shadow would need to be removed through photo editing if this photo is selected.
Evaluation Question Two.
The document compares the student's music magazine cover photo to a professional magazine cover. Both photos feature a mid-shot of a model with a simple background. They use natural lighting that focuses on the model's facial features. The models have minimal expression and wear simple clothing. Unlike the professional cover, the student's photo does not have a filter applied and features a female rather than male model. The student's model has less pronounced body language and is positioned to look intimidating for the genre of punk/alternative music being represented.
Magazine Layout
The document describes the masthead and front cover design for a magazine called "Higher". The masthead title will be in jet black Broadway font at 125pt. The main cover photo will feature a model in front of a white wall to allow for editing. It will be converted to black and white and have its light and contrast enhanced. The dateline and selling line will be in Broadway and Georgia fonts respectively, providing the month and tagline "Your monthly happenings". The first two kickers will promote articles on getting good grades and a new school building in different colored fonts. The main kicker will focus on 6th form fashion trends in larger font sized.

The contents page layout remains neat and readable, and features like article descriptions and page numbers balance clarity and style. Overall, the analysis shows an understanding of magazine design conventions while incorporating original touches.
Contents page 2
This document analyzes design elements of a jazz magazine contents page, including the formal language, a photo of an independent female star that breaks conventions, and the use of red and gold colors that code for jazz. The text wraps around the main photo to make her the focus. A sans serif font is used in varying sizes, with larger text for subheadings than descriptions. The research influenced planning by liking how text wraps the image but disliking the lack of images and the font choice.
Professional Pages Analysis
The document analyzes the design elements of professional magazine pages, including the front cover, contents page, and double page spread. For the front cover, it notes the bold color scheme, large masthead to identify the brand, and main text highlighting the feature. The contents page contains many small pictures and no empty spaces to provide a visual overview. The double page spread has a large main image on the left to showcase an artist's importance, with narrow columns of text on the right to fit more material.
Evaluation 1
The document discusses conventions and codes used in media products. It provides definitions of conventions as generally accepted ways of doing things in a medium and genre. Codes are described as systems of signs that create meaning, including technical codes like camera work and symbolic codes that show deeper meaning.
The document then analyzes how the student's magazine product uses or challenges conventions in its layout, fonts, photography, music genre, masthead, images, mise-en-scene on the cover, contents page, and double page spread. Conventions followed include positioning of the masthead, use of cover lines and index, and separation of articles in the double page spread. Conventions are challenged through unusual fonts and positioning of some images.
Critical reflection 1
This document discusses conventions of magazine design and how the student's mock magazine cover and contents page both use and challenge conventions.
The cover follows conventions such as a bold masthead and coverlines but challenges norms by using a collaged background. The contents page uses page numbers and subheadings but challenges conventions by using the main image as a background. Both pieces aim to represent social issues and groups like equal rights.
Magazine front cover
The document provides guidelines for the style and typography of magazine front covers and contents pages. It recommends using eye contact and shallow depth of focus in front cover images along with short, engaging text. Fonts should reflect the magazine's genre but be easy to read. Covers should feature attractive models and images relevant to the genre. Contents pages should maintain consistency with the cover in color scheme, fonts, and house style while clearly labeling sections and keeping the layout well organized without blank space.
Evaluation question 1
This document summarizes how the media product uses, develops, and challenges conventions of real music magazines. It analyzes the front cover, contents page, and double-page article spread. Conventions are followed, such as masthead placement and page numbers. Conventions are developed, like using filters on images. Conventions are challenged, like an unconventional masthead font. Overall it examines magazine design elements and how conventions are applied, modified, or subverted.
Double page spread
The document analyzes the codes and conventions used in double page spreads across different music magazines including Q Magazine, Billboard, Rolling Stone, and NME. Some key findings include:
- Images dominate the page and are used to identify the subject of the article. Facial expressions are sometimes visible through close-up shots.
- House styles and colors are generally continued within articles to maintain consistency, though some magazines break this convention.
- Text columns, while usually three, can vary in number but still maintain an organized, easy-to-read structure.
- Quotes, drop caps, white backgrounds, and direct address are common techniques used to attract readers and create relationships between artists and the audience.
Magazine evaluation
The document evaluates two magazine pages - the front cover and contents page. For the front cover, strengths include a professional color scheme, bold text, and high quality images. Weaknesses are that the person is not facing the camera and cover lines could have more detail. For the contents page, strengths are the professional color scheme, bold text, high quality images, and main articles and page numbers standing out. Weaknesses include a lot of white background space and snippets could be separated from the contents list.

Kanye West is portrayed as Jesus in an advertisement, representing how he sees himself. The image uses visuals and text to draw comparisons between Kanye and Jesus, an easily recognizable religious figure. While some may find the comparison blasphemous, others can relate to Kanye's message even if not religious, since the ad calls him "God's senator." There is little cultural capital since Jesus is universally understood.

Magazines have been published since the 17th century, with the first considered to be the 'Erbauliche Monaths Unterredungen' in Germany in 1663. However, the Gentleman's Magazine, first published in 1731 in London, is seen as the first general interest magazine. Created by Edward Cave, it managed to run successfully for 200 years until 1922. Cave innovated by creating the first monthly digest of diverse news and commentary for educated readers, using a set of regular contributors and extracts from other publications. He was also the first to use the term "magazine" to describe a regularly published collection of writings.

- 3. The Gentlewoman ‘the gentlewoman’ magazine stands out to a niche market. This is due to its irregular fashion style, and layout of the magazine. The main codes and conventions of this particular magazine vary a lot from main stream magazines such as Vogue. This is seen with features such as; • The variety of text and image layout through out the item changes a lot with some basic and some complex parts. • There are symmetrical and asymmetrical elements in both parts of the item which helps portray its uniquity. • For most articles they are organised into columns and paragraphs it is vastly very square and uniform no odd shapes. • For every page of copy there is two pages with images. Although its not set out in that order there is definitely more images than text. • Sans-serif text has been used, this has been done as it portrays who the magazine is targeted at, Feminists that celebrate women and women's achievements. Aged 20-30 single women of an upper class. • Formal register with quite basic language being used as to communicate with the audience on or a more personal level. • Little to no graphics on the images, most graphics used would be text as a quotation or summary of the image. • Camerawork is basic and doesn’t really vary mist shots are mid shots showing the majority of the outfit or costume. • In most of the photos there has only been a small amount of editing and if any it would have been the application of a filter. • There has definitely been pictures cropped and cut to draw attention to certain parts instead of others. • The choice of colour through out the text is no-t very broad, blacks, whites, blues and oranges are mostly visible and there is very rare occurrence of brighter more vibrant colours.
