The document discusses potential locations, clothing, makeup, and article ideas for a magazine focused on representing the "grungy" and imperfect style of indie music. It describes several derelict and industrial locations scouted for photography, including storage containers in an isolated field, a fenced derelict field, and areas with steel bars that provide an abandoned feel.

Possible articles include interviews about band reunions, reviews of new music, and insights into artists' lives on and off tour.
Question 3 evaluation
The document discusses potential media companies that could distribute the magazine "Ragnarock".

Time Inc.'s experience with NME and other music magazines would help them successfully distribute Ragnarock.

Finally, the document notes that alternative music does not appear in the UK charts, showing it is a very small niche market compared to pop music.

Q5
The magazine uses several techniques to attract its target indie music audience. The masthead uses an alternative spelling to signal it is for those familiar with the genre.

The magazine also includes articles about fashion, music festivals, and advice to appeal to its target audience of teenage girls, who are conscious of appearance and enjoy live music. Social media icons are featured to appeal to the magazine's internet-obsessed, teenage audience, most of whom use social media.
Presentation1
My target audience would mainly be lower to middle class 16-18 year old males of all ethnicities, especially Asians, who spend time with friends in parks listening to music and at fast food shops before going home. They enjoy rap, hip hop and grime music and keeping up with new artists and songs. They typically dress casually in hoodies and hats and may socially smoke. On weekends, they go to parties with friends until late at night.
Q5
The document discusses ways in which the magazine cover and contents page attract the target audience's attention. The cover uses a large, catchy font for the masthead and splashes of red against dull colors. On the contents page, the largest image gives direct address to viewers while others do not, creating a rap/hip-hop mood. Headings are in bold red to draw the eye, and an album cover and quote encourage reading further. Against conventions, females are featured to appeal to reader preferences.

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.

Nme contents page analysis
- 1. The Masthead is also shown again in the contents page which is easily recognisable and shows the branding of the company, however it’s a lost clearer on this page since there isn’t a main image/cover line that grabs your attention before you see it. The band index has a white background with red text in juxtaposition to the black background the title has with red/white text . The page references are ordered alphabetically rather then numerically which makes it easier for the reader to find their favourite bands amongst the many other bands featured in the magazine. The index Is displayed on the very left of the magazine so that it is not taking away any of the attention from the rest of the page and is only used as a guide if needed. One puff is used in the contents page towards the bottom right of the page. The puff gives the reader information on how and where they are able to subscribe to NME and receive a discount when purchasing the magazine. Displayed in the very middle of the page is a ‘touring special’ miniature article used as a preview for what’s to come in the rest of the magazine. It would be displayed here due to Rule of thirds and it is the most easily noticed section of the page. The title section of the magazine contains the masthead (Talked about on the left) and introduces the section of the magazine this is in white bold text to stand out (which is the contents page). The date is also displayed in a much smaller font below the word ‘contents’ to show a rough time slot of when the stories of these bands came out since the magazine would try to be up to date with their information so you would expect to read stories about what’s happened in the last month. The target audience for this magazine would probably be teenage lower class black males as well as teenage working class white males due to the genre of Dizzee Rascals music and the other artists mentioned on the contents page.
- 2. The Masthead is also shown again in the contents page which is easily recognisable and shows the branding of the company, however it’s a lost clearer on this page since there isn’t a main image/cover line that grabs your attention before you see it. Also the white and black border that is used in the masthead’s colour scheme helps it stand out so that the masthead doesn’t blend into the red background. The band index has a red background like the title has which could represent that this part of the magazine is just as important as the main title section of the magazine. The page references are ordered alphabetically rather then numerically which makes it easier for the reader to find their favourite bands amongst the many other bands featured in the magazine. Several puffs are also used in/besides the band index. The puffs in the index give information about prizes that readers are able to win while the puff towards the left of the band index gives information on how to save 20% on your next issue of NME. A picture of the editor and a few words from him could be used to make the magazine more real. Rather then it just being something just put together it shows someone who worked on the magazine and made it all happen giving some life to the magazine they’ve created. The title section of the magazine contains the masthead (Talked about on the left) and introduces the section of the magazine this is in white bold text to stand out (which is the contents page). The date is also displayed in a much smaller font above the word ‘contents’ to show a rough time slot of when the stories of these bands came out since the magazine would try to be up to date with their information so you would expect to read stories about what’s happened in the last month. The target audience for this magazine would probably be for teenagers (mainly males) who are lower/middle class. These teens may be in a gothic or mainstream type of social group/lifestyle and would be mainly interested in rock/metal music.
