Question 7 - Claudia Miguel
The document discusses the progression from the preliminary task to the full product. It covers management of equipment, human resources, and time. It describes booking equipment like cameras and rooms in advance. It also covers managing models through communication about scheduling and styling. For the preliminary task, photos were casually taken on a phone, while the full product required more planning and elements like lighting, backgrounds, and composition. Drafting ideas was important, but some plans had to change, like using a puff or model positioning on the front cover. Overall it reflects on learning time management and incorporating more elements into the full product compared to the preliminary task.
Cover 3, 5 chosen
The document discusses several photos being considered for a magazine cover. The first photo is rejected because it has a shadow that makes the image blurred. Another photo shows the model too far away and blurry. A third photo is too posed and doesn't convey a clear subject. The fourth photo has a plug visible that makes it look unprofessional. The last photo is chosen for the magazine cover because the close-up angle clearly shows the model's face with good lighting and no shadows, highlighting the colors of the outfit against the white background.
Media evaluation 2 shea
The combination of the documentary and ancillary materials is effective in promoting and providing context for the documentary. The poster informs the target audience about where and when they can view the documentary on television. It takes inspiration from other documentary posters in including pictures of students and teachers to give insight into what the documentary is about. The double-page spread provides more details about the documentary's content, including interviews and photos of staff and students to give the audience a feel for the school and its community. The choice of green as the house style links the materials to the school's color scheme.
Poster Making
The document describes the iterative design process for a movie poster. It started with the original poster idea, which was then modified over several drafts by changing elements like the tagline, background colors, and adding effects. Key changes included splitting the photo into two sides, one in black and white, adding blurred lines and social media links. Design decisions were influenced by other posters examined for things like close-ups, color schemes, and facial expressions.
Poster technical skills
We created a poster in Photoshop to promote an exhibition called "Playing With Pigments". We found a simple image of paint splatters online and adjusted the brightness, hue, and saturation to match the theme's colors. We then added the exhibition title, location, date, and contact information using fonts that matched the client's branding and were easy to read against the background. The final poster had bright, eye-catching colors and clearly visible text information.
2...idea dev and proposal
The document provides details on the development of ideas for a book project about media in York. It includes mood boards exploring cover design concepts featuring photos taken in York. The proposed book will summarize the Aesthetica Short Film Festival and discuss how the target audience of 16-25 year olds can get more involved in media. The first double page spread will introduce the film festival while the second will discuss increasing media opportunities in York. If extra time allows, an additional advertisement page may be included. Photos will be taken in York over the weekend to feature in the book.
Media evaluation 4
The document discusses the various media technologies used at different stages of planning, researching, and evaluating three productions: a music video, a digipak, and a magazine advertisement. Social media like blogs and Facebook were used to document the process, gather feedback, and advertise. Questionnaires and interviews provided quantitative and qualitative data. Video editing software allowed effects to be added to the music video. Photoshop was used to edit photos and design the digipak.
Content page analysis
The document summarizes the process used to create a content page for a K-POP magazine. A photo of a model named Rushali was used as the main image after removing its background in Photoshop. Two other images also had their backgrounds removed. Fonts were downloaded from DAFONT and a color scheme of black, white, grey, and blue was used. Text blocks and images were positioned to make information easy to read. The content page was designed to attract both male and female teenage K-POP fans.

1. initial plans
The student analyzed their mood board of music-related designs and found that:
1) Most posters and advertisements use bold, contrasting colors and fonts to catch the eye from a distance.
2) CD covers have changed over time but generally include a picture of the artist, even if symbolic like the Gorillaz cover.
3) Concert tickets are often bright and colorful to increase their perceived value and encourage advertising the event.
4) Merchandise commonly has a simple, dark design with the band's logo but the student wants a more appealing design.
Task 2A evaluation photography
Gaetan Lundula created a magazine cover design for a grime genre magazine. They took over 4 hours of photographs at a photo shoot with a model. Their backup plan was to rent a studio or take outdoor photos with their Panasonic G7 DSLR camera. They selected one photo where the model is looking directly at the camera in the center for their final design. In Photoshop, they blurred the model's face and added bold, colorful text and boxes to attract their target audience. They feel the photograph and design elements make the cover unique and will intrigue audiences to learn more.
Five cover photos
The document discusses 5 potential photos for a magazine cover. For the first photo, the depth of field and clear view of the outdoors are positives, but it is too cluttered and the model is too far away to be the sole focus. The second photo has a unique feel from the contrast of the model's clothing and dark background, but the model is out of focus. The third photo seems peaceful but the model lacks strong eye contact and the photo is blurry. The fourth photo has good lighting and eye contact but the model's hand in his pocket makes it look unprofessional. The selected photo has direct eye contact, good lighting without shadows, and the model was closer allowing for more color and brightness.
Development of advert powerpoint
1) The document discusses the development of advertising designs for an Irn Bru energy drink. The author created several draft ad designs testing different images, layouts, and slogans.
2) For the second design, the author chose an image representing Scotland to fit the copy. Feedback indicated a more complicated image was needed to engage viewers.
3) One design placed the drink can image over a landscape photo, with the top layer as a clear plastic sheet to reveal the image underneath. The author felt this clearly conveyed the ad's focus.
Evaluation question 2
The document evaluates the coherence and branding of a promotional package for a pop rock band. It discusses the use of blue and green colors in the print work and video to make the band stand out while still relating to feelings of sadness. Bright but not overpowering lighting is used to focus on band members' performances. Costumes of t-shirts and jeans were chosen to relate to the target audience and genre conventions. The main theme portrayed is being happy even when facing difficulties, shown through color scheme, strong postures, and adjustments to print work images.
5. pre production (fmp)
This document outlines Jessica Crosland's pre-production plan for a summer clothing line targeted toward women. She will use bright pastel and saturated colors in the clothes and fonts to appeal to her target audience. Photos will feature a female model in natural lighting settings. Fonts from dafont.com and Photoshop will be used in the brand name, magazine mastheads, and headlines. The magazine layout includes a cover photo and interior spreads with photos, text, and definitions. The website layout focuses on photos and links social media. Props, a model, camera, and editing software are needed. Contingency plans address technical and scheduling issues. A schedule outlines photo shoots, editing, and completing the magazine,
photograph selection
This document discusses three potential photographs for a fashion spread with a festival theme. The first photograph shows details of the dress but doesn't show the model's face. The second photograph clearly shows the skater dress but has too much head space. The third photograph, which will be used, shows the whole outfit including the flower crown and allows space for adding text without covering the model. It also features a clear blue sky relating to the festival theme.
Task 2b evaluation (1)
The student took photos for a mock Teen Vogue magazine cover shoot. They took interior photos using automatic settings which helped capture facial expressions and clothing details. Exterior photos used natural lighting and a nature setting to enhance colors. The final chosen cover photo features a teenage girl in black, matching the fashion magazine's theme. The student evaluated that their photos came out well after practicing techniques like lighting, angles, and settings. They aim to improve by taking more test shots and keeping locations clear of extras.
Final powerpoint
The document summarizes the intentions behind and evaluations of four photo spreads for a fashion project. For each spread, the original chosen image is described along with how the final edited image better achieved the goals. Key points included making the models and their outfits the clear focus through lighting, alignment according to composition rules, and balancing colors so attention is drawn quickly. The final images created a brighter, bolder, and more striking look that highlighted the intended fashion elements.
Creating the poster
Amelia and Siobhan worked together to create a Digipak for a group called O.M.G on a tight deadline. Amelia had originally designed a poster that served as the basis for the Digipak design. This PowerPoint shows the process they used to collaboratively design the Digipak, which included researching existing Digipaks, creating mood boards, designing cover pages in PowerPoint, and selecting photos and fonts. The final Digipak designs followed conventions of the pop genre and were intended to appeal to their target audience of 11-16 year old girls.
Artist
The document discusses ideas and techniques used by various artists that could be applied to the author's own work. For Janet Haven's image, the author likes the use of red lips against a bleached background and plans to incorporate this idea. For Serein's image, the author appreciates the contrast created by a clock inside the eye and will experiment with color and placement of objects. Richard Harp's simple image inspires the author to focus on conveying meaning through basic elements and bright colors.
Five cover 2
The document discusses several photographs taken for a magazine cover and evaluates them based on compositional elements. It provides analysis for each photo, identifying positives like the model making direct eye contact with the audience, clear lighting that illuminates the face, and a narrow depth of field focused only on the model. Negatives discussed include being too far from the model resulting in a blurry photo, lack of eye contact from the model, and distracting backgrounds. The best photo is said to have the model looking directly at the audience, clear lighting, no shadows, and the photographer close enough to capture good color and composition.
Location Analysis
The document discusses the use of plain white backgrounds for photos in a pop music magazine. The author took photos on white backgrounds so that different, more appropriate backgrounds could be added via photoshop. Using photoshop makes it easier to modify backgrounds and keeps the focus on the artist rather than the location. Most pop magazines also use white backgrounds because they can be changed and draw attention to the artist.
5. pre production(3)
The document outlines Jordanne Kay's pre-production process for creating a magazine, including collecting style references, creating layout designs, and planning props, locations, and contingencies. A schedule is proposed to take photos, edit images, design pages, and finalize the magazine over 8 days using Photoshop and online resources. Health and safety considerations for photo shoots are also addressed.
Photography choices and reasons
The photographer chose several images to use in their indie music magazine. Image 1 was selected for the cover because it creates a sense of mystery through partial eye contact. Image 2 was chosen for its fun, casual summer vibe. Image 3 shows full eye contact and will be edited to contrast with the cover images. The photographer plans to edit the images in Photoshop, including cropping, enhancing features, adjusting colors and contrast, and applying black and white or darker filters as needed to fit the magazine's style and layouts.
Taking pictures
The document discusses photographs taken by the author for their magazine cover and double page spread. They took photos of the artist Kerry Glaysher, who was the focus, as well as other people to include in the magazine. The author evaluates four photos of Kerry Glaysher and explains why they chose one photo for the cover - they felt it had the best eye contact, background colors, and tone for the magazine.
Question 3 - What have you learned from your audience feedback?
The document provides feedback from peers on Luke Roberts' horror trailer, poster, and magazine for his film "Sheridan." It discusses the feedback received and changes Luke made in response. The feedback was generally positive and focused on small improvements like making the poster image darker and increasing pacing/tension in the trailer. Luke agreed with most feedback and made targeted adjustments, like adding more text to the poster per a teacher's suggestion. He chose not to make some changes, like adding a second color to the poster, after testing options and getting additional peer feedback.
Planning and Research Presentation
The document discusses planning and executing various design elements for a school magazine, including editing photos in Photoshop, comparing magazine mastheads, planning a magazine cover, and planning the table of contents page. The author describes editing a model's photo for the cover, including changing colors, lighting effects, and blurring/highlighting areas. They also analyze magazine mastheads and covers, discussing fonts, colors, images, and layouts. Plans are outlined for the cover image, including a mock-up combining the photo with title text and additional design elements. Ideas and mock-ups are also presented for the table of contents page continuing the color scheme and theme.
Evaluation
Samuel created a magazine and website about Photoshop tutorials. He reflects that the website could have been more professionally designed and easier to navigate. The cover image effectively represented the magazine's focus on Photoshop tips. The double page spread tutorial was effective but could have had a cleaner style. Creating the products without client feedback limited their development. For future projects, Samuel plans to get more opinions to improve his work.
Double page spread
Lorna Keaton analyzed various double page spreads from magazines to inform her own design. She wanted a bright, vibrant feel with a black and white background. Minimal writing and large, eye-catching images were prioritized based on research. The model's outfit and accessories were chosen to portray an independent, classy woman. Photos were edited in Photoshop for clarity and to emphasize red tones. The layout features the model's image pointing to draw attention to the interview content while maintaining conventional magazine structure. Overall, the double page spread achieves the desired R&B genre and sophisticated style.
Production diary
Week 1: The producer created business cards in Photoshop using a neon theme. They experimented with different designs before settling on a professional look. They learned Photoshop techniques like the polar coordinates tool.
Week 2: The producer took landscape photos around Scarborough for their magazine and portfolio. They edited the photos in Photoshop to give them a vintage look by adding filters, scratches and grain. They designed the magazine cover using a faded, worn aesthetic.
Week 3: The producer redesigned the magazine cover with a modern, professional color scheme. They applied the colors consistently across pages. They finished the cover design without tutorials by applying knowledge gained from prior experiments.
Evaluation question 7
The document compares the creator's preliminary magazine contents page to their final product. Some key differences included using bolder headings, page numbers, and a larger featured image on the final contents page. The house style was also developed further by incorporating more colors linked to the cover. An editor's note was kept to engage readers and promote the next issue. Overall, the final contents page was improved by making sections easier to read and navigate through enhanced design elements.

Self evaluation for preliminary task
The document discusses how the creator's magazine front cover and contents page represent particular social groups and aspects they are pleased or could improve on.
For the front cover, the creator chose a female student to not seem male-focused, and included stereotypically "boyish" blue font to match the male survey respondents. They are pleased with the name and background photo but could improve by adding a date/issue and making it less male-focused.
For the contents page, all pictures relate to cover lines or college and the creator likes the consistent colors and positioning. They could improve by making picture sizes even and clarifying the pixelated logo.
Digipak feedback
The document provides feedback on Luke Newcombe's digipak design for an album. It discusses:
1) Luke used Facebook to get feedback from friends who are in his target demographic.
2) Feedback praised Luke's editing technique of cutting up the album cover image to give a "dimension effect", which relates to the album title "Dimensions".
3) A simplistic white and black color scheme with the image as the main focus was also well-received as it complemented the editing and made the image stand out.
Question seven
The student has learned many new techniques for designing magazine covers and layouts since creating their first school magazine cover. They have improved at using effects like adjusting colors, adding layers, and positioning images and text for maximum visual impact. Specifically, the student has learned to make titles bold and contrasting against backgrounds, use spotlights and layers to draw attention to features, and organize content pages clearly for readers. By applying these new skills, the student has created a music magazine cover and layout that looks more professional, distinctive and appealing to their target audience compared to their original, more plain and generic school magazine cover.
Media coursework complete
The document summarizes a student's plans for their AS level Media Studies foundation portfolio project. They intend to create a 5-page rock magazine targeting 16-19 year old girls. For their preliminary task, they took photos at their college to use in a mock college magazine cover and contents page. They analyzed the photos and selected some to use, noting some minor edits needed to improve the images.
Preliminary task
The document describes the process of creating a practice magazine as preparation for a music magazine task. Key details include:

Nicole photoshoot analysis
- 1. Photoshoot Analysis - Nikki Mundy -
- 2. This image was taken at a skatepark, on a half pipe and was originally going to be used as the image for my double page spread however on review I think it would be better off as the front cover image as it is eye catching and breaking the rules and therefore similar to the format in kerrang. This image has had no effects added and simply the background removed however if I do use this as a cover page image I will most likely either add colour to the background or a different background to create a more eye catching image.
- 3. I think this image has a lot of story behind it, I believe the frustration on the models face illustrates the idea that todays education system adds a new kind of pressure to the teens and students of today. Continuing I added the whisky bottle as it not only illustrates the common alcoholism linked to the punk rock genre, I think it could also show the students need for a relief or as if they’re using the alcohol to cope with stress. I am considering using this for the double page spread as I think it highlights the issue spoken about in the article however it is under consideration.
- 4. After consideration I have decided to use this as my double page spread image, I think it highlights a lot of the factors in the article as well as illustrating the common punk ethos and views on schooling and partying. I think the image is fairly clear however could use some more depth.
- 5. I originally took this image to be used as a possible double page spread to represent the punk rock fight against the social norm. I edited the image using the water colour affect as well as adjusting the brightness and contrast of the images. However on review I have decided not to include it within my magazine as I believe the image itself wouldn’t fit the idea.
- 6. This image is fairly simple and doesn’t have much depth due to the camera used. However with the addition of the ‘Dark Strokes’ filter. This filter added depth and colour to the image as well as enhancing the colour contrast. I also changed the colour of her eyes from a light blue/green to a crimson red. I intend on using this image as a poster image for the magazine as I think the editorial effects have made it more of a poster image than that of a front cover or double page spread.
