The magazine cover uses design elements to attract its target audience of rap music fans. The dominant image of rapper Jay-Z directly engages the audience. Bold colors like red and black connote passion for music. Formal typefaces and layout in capital letters suggest the magazine is aimed at an older audience. Additional text provides the model credit and name of Jay-Z to further appeal to fans interested in both the artist's music and public image. High key lighting and a clean white background make the cover visually clear and appealing to the target demographic.
Evaluation foundation portfolio
Liam Keenan conducted primary research on magazine readership among teenagers aged 15-20. He found that while magazines are still of interest, the internet has become more popular for receiving music news due to being free, easy to access, and a large database. Respondents said magazines could be improved by lowering prices. NME and Kerrang were the magazines most associated with this age group, though respondents reported rarely buying them and instead purchasing them monthly or sometimes never. Keenan learned about technologies like digital photography and page layout techniques from constructing his magazine product. He also felt he progressed from his preliminary task in fully realizing his magazine concept.
Band image manipulation
The document discusses image editing done for a band magazine. The editor used auto contrast to make colors more vivid and cropped actors out of images using the lasso tool. For the cover image, the editor also added a drop shadow. Another image was left unedited as the lighting already made it look professional. The final image had its contrast increased and was made black and white to portray the artist as experienced in the indie music genre.
Poster
The document provides instructions for creating a volunteer recruitment poster for a local orphanage, including how to add elements like a logo, background, text, and image using the Paint.net software; it suggests using layers, selection tools, and filling and fading techniques. Design principles that are addressed include using black for the background to make elements stand out, balancing different colors for the text, employing a large but simple font, and keeping the overall design balanced, attention-getting, and simple.
Paper planning
The document is a paper planning sheet for a magazine. It outlines initial plans and changes made for various design elements like the masthead, background colors, images, and text. Key changes included making the masthead white instead of red to match the changed red background, switching an artist image from a long shot to a medium long shot to make the artist look more serious, and changing text colors to white to stand out against backgrounds and follow the magazine's house style of red, black, and white.
Double page draft
The document outlines the 6 stages of creating a double page magazine spread. It describes adding photos, text, quotes and adjusting colors and layout at each stage. It also shows 2 variants created, with one rejected for not fitting the target audience without a photo.

It also contains small advertisements and the magazine title abbreviated as "RS" to indicate the brand.

A2 media evaluation conventions of magazine cover
This document discusses the process of designing a magazine cover that incorporates both original ideas and standard conventions. The designer was inspired by the cover of an independent film magazine called "Little White Lies" which used a technique called "two-tone" that altered the color of an image. To differentiate their cover, the designer experimented with black and white backgrounds before deciding on white to appear more standard. They used Adobe InDesign to remove the background and saturate the color, leaving just the facial outlines. The final cover incorporated this customized image along with typical magazine elements like bar codes and pricing.
Task 11 Unaltered + Altered images in Magazine
The document describes various edits made to images in a music magazine using Photoshop. For the front cover image, the author cropped out shorts, dimmed shine on the face, and added red lips. Interior images were adjusted by changing lighting, exposure, adding effects like bevel and emboss. A group photo was edited to enhance colors in hue and saturation. Backgrounds were intensified or brightened for some images, while others required little editing due to suitable features.
Evaluation
The student created a magazine cover and contents page that draws from conventions of real media products. Key similarities to an existing magazine include a masthead, cover lines, barcode, and logo placement. Differences include using a student subject posing and looking away rather than a musician flexing. Photoshop was used to manipulate images and give a more polished look. InDesign allowed for a simple contents page layout. Overall, the project drew from real magazines while putting its own student-focused spin.
Question 2 evaluation
Having a consistent house style across multiple media products is crucial to effectively communicating your intended theme or genre to the target audience. Using similar colors, fonts, layouts, song choices and other elements helps audiences recognize the products as part of the same style. Maintaining a house style that utilizes white, black and red across a band's work gives their target audience a sense of recognition and consistency.

Q1 conventions
The document discusses conventions used in psychological thriller trailers, posters, and magazines. For trailers, it notes conventions like starting slow and increasing pace/editing over time, using camera angles to depict power dynamics between protagonist and antagonist, incorporating an eerie soundtrack and themes of mystery, tension, and drug use.

For magazines, the conventions include using attention-grabbing images and fonts, reviews, incentives, and headlines to attract readers.
Comparison to existing product

- 4. Joshua Davey Media I also gained feedback through emailing it to people I know who are within the target audience. Replies: Reply 1 Front cover: The masthead is really conventional of the rock genre, and you can immediately tell what the magazine genre is. All of the fonts are really conventional and the language is really good too. The images are good, as they represent the artists by having the instruments and stuff in the magazine. Contents Page: The layout is really good, and there is a clear house style and it links to the front cover. The font used for the contents section could be more interesting as it is quite "normal". Double Page Spread: The DPS is good, but it is quite plain, and the font for the body copy is way too small, it’s difficult to read. Maybe also you could make it more cluttered as it is quite ordered. Reply 2 Front cover: Conventional masthead and good cluttered layout. You can easily tell it’s from the rock genre, and the use of mise-en-scene is very good. Contents page: Sticks to the magazines house style, good use of colours and good main image, the image is conventional of the genre as it includes an instrument that’s relating to the featured article and the genre, and also the facial expression is conventional. Double page spread: This is good, but the layout isn’t conventional as it’s too ordered; improve it by making it more cluttered.
