Sophie e7
The student learned several important lessons from their preliminary magazine cover task to the final product. They improved at structuring taglines and selling points on the cover. Through choosing poses and backgrounds for the model, they learned how images can represent genres and attract different audiences. The student also gained understanding of using appropriate language and content for the intended reader and magazine type. From the experience, the student enhanced their skills in areas like time management, organization, and meeting deadlines to complete a large project.
Magazine design evaluation
The student conducted research including questionnaires and interviews to inform the design of their sports magazine cover focusing on football. They received positive feedback on their initial cover design from models and friends. For the double page spread and content pages, the student utilized the research findings but had less time to refine the design compared to the cover. In the end, the student was pleased with the professional quality of the images but felt they rushed portions of the interior design due to time constraints.
Question1
My media product uses and develops conventions from real magazines. I was inspired by the magazine "Blender" which I found to have an effective yet simple style. I took some of Blender's conventions like having a solo artist image dominate the cover page and using a limited color palette. However, my cover image is positioned to the side rather than the center. I developed my own conventions too, like making the text on my contents page larger to suit my younger target audience. Overall, I was able to produce professional-looking pages like my favorite article page while putting my own spin on conventions from real magazines.
School Magazine Evaluation
After I had finished my school magazine, I had to evaluate my own performance. Both my teachers gave me questions I had to answer and this evaluation will help me when I make my music magazine.
Production diary for october and november
1) The document discusses the production process of a magazine over October and November. It details the initial planning and scaffolding work done in October to prepare for production.
2) Most of November was spent working on the "scaffolding" for the magazine layout in InDesign, which took half the month to complete along with adjustments. Time was also spent researching magazine styles and settling on a color scheme.
3) Setting the contents page to align with guidelines was very challenging due to the author's perfectionist tendencies, though it was important to adhere to requirements to earn good marks. Additional work remained including taking photographs and designing logos.

Atlantic records
Atlantic Records started in 1947 and focused on jazz, R&B, and soul music in its early years, recording famous artists like Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, and Otis Redding. It was acquired by Warner Bros.-Seven Arts in 1967 but continued expanding to rock music. Today, Atlantic Records is a major record label owned by Warner Music Group that houses many popular artists across various genres. It was one of the first labels to adopt new formats like stereo and 45rpm singles.
Codes and conventions of music videos
Codes and conventions of music videos generally include style, camerawork, sound, mise-en-scene, editing, and stereotypes. However, these conventions can vary slightly depending on the genre and style of the video. Conventions create a structure for audiences to understand and familiarize themselves with different genres. Videos typically last the length of the song and represent the song's message through relatable themes. While most videos follow conventions, some challenge norms. The two main techniques used in videos are technical aspects like camerawork and symbolic elements like facial expressions.
Image manipulation 2
The document describes the process of editing multiple images in Photoshop for use in a digipak design. Key edits included adjusting brightness, contrast, saturation, color levels and hue, adding photo effects and actions, and using tools like dodge and burn to enhance specific elements. The goal was to manipulate each image so they worked together aesthetically with a cohesive color palette and retro/vintage style while remaining suitable for their intended informational or background purposes on the different pages.
Image manipulation
The document describes the process of editing an original image in Photoshop for use on a digipak. Several edits were made to enhance features like contrast, brightness and saturation. Actions were added to manipulate the images further. Colors were adjusted and overlays were used to darken corners and edges. The edits created cohesion across images while emphasizing focal points and tying the visual design to the overall theme and message.
Editing processes
Adjustment layers were used extensively in the video to manipulate color and establish tone. Sepia tones distinguished flashbacks, and adjustment layers made red colors brighter and more vibrant against the black and white footage. Adjustment layers could be removed or modified if the creator was unhappy with the effect. Footage was cut down precisely to fit the rhythm and theme of the song. Speed and warp stabilizer effects were used on many clips to create different visual effects, though they cannot both be applied in Premiere so some clips required additional editing in After Effects. Transitions like cross dissolves and dips to white were sparingly used to link clips in time with the beat or represent fading away.
Brand Guidelines
This document discusses key elements of brand identity for a music artist. It emphasizes the importance of establishing a universal and recognizable look through consistent use of colors, logos, and styles across various marketing materials worldwide. The proposed brand identity features a simple font logo to represent the artist's indie/folk sound, with the color of the text varying based on the background for maximum visibility. Color is highlighted as an important way to tie together different marketing assets through a cohesive and fitting scheme that matches the brand's style and genre.
Chosen location
The document discusses the locations chosen for a music video:
1) The beach is chosen to represent tranquility and freedom, and its simplicity will allow focus on the character during the dramatic ending. It also references the film and song "A Long Way Down."
2) London is busy and congested, representing messy emotions, and offers variety through different areas and transportation.
3) The author's home and garden provide a cozy, warm feel as a safe place and contrast to the beach and London, representing happier memories.
Research into equipment
1. The document discusses equipment that will be used to film a music video, including a Canon 550D digital camera that can shoot in 1080p HD, various lenses, a Sony action camera for slow motion shots, a tripod, camera slide, and steadicam for stabilized shots.
2. Additional equipment includes various lights - red heads for lighting a dark room, a fill light for softer lighting, and an LED light that attaches to a tripod.
3. The equipment will be used to add variety, drama, and professional quality to the video shots through adjustable lighting, stabilized movement, and different camera angles and perspectives.

Stealth attraction for mens gets her with your words
My article gives a set of techniques used by men to subtly and effectively attract women without overtly displaying their intentions. It involves using non-verbal cues, body language, and subtle psychological tactics to create intrigue and build attraction. The goal is to appear confident, mysterious, and charismatic while maintaining an air of mystery that piques the interest of the person you are trying to attract. This approach emphasizes subtlety and finesse in communication and interaction to create a powerful and lasting impression.
7 Habits of Highly Effective People.pptx
Covey says most people look for quick fixes. They see a big success and want to know how he did it, believing (and hoping) they can do the same following a quick bullet list.
But real change, the author says, comes not from the outside in, but from the inside out. And the most fundamental way of changing yourself is through a paradigm shift.
That paradigm shift is a new way of looking at the world. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People presents an approach to effectiveness based on character and principles.
The first three habits indeed deal with yourself because it all starts with you. The first three habits move you from dependence from the world to the independence of making your own world.
Habits 4, 5 and 6 are about people and relationships. The will move you from independence to interdependence. Such, cooperating to achieve more than you could have by yourself.
The last habit, habit number 7, focuses on continuous growth and improvement.

Past student’s blog
- 2. Layla Keegan When I was looking through her blog I noticed how much writing she had done for her blog post she had created when she finished her magazine and contents page, compared to some of the other students. Her blog stood out to me as she had a video of the steps she took to create her magazine which I found very creative. Her first blog post was very well written and it was evident that she had a clear understand of what the task was and what she was expected to create.
- 3. Why Her Blog Was Successful I think that Layla’s blog was successful due to the understanding of the task and how she conveyed that in her writing. She gave plenty of detail in her writing and tells you everything there is to know about her magazine and contents page. It is clear she had thought about everything in her magazine as she mentions things from the price of her magazine to mentioning the school twitter. This show she has a good understanding of the task and the audience her magazine is for.
- 4. What Can I Learn From her Blog Looking through Layla’s blog I think there is a lot I can learn from it. For example the video she made that shows the stages of her magazine I think is very interesting and as she has shown the stages there is no need to write about them explaining and describing them, as you can see the stages. Something else I could learn would be to include the same level of detail in my writing, as I didn’t think to include some of the details she included. When she mentioned why her magazine was £1.50 (because students would have to buy it and they are unlikely to have much money) I will take that on board and probably include it in my own work.
