The document discusses photography for a hip hop/R&B magazine. It suggests using a pose showing the magazine is ready with a sense of holiness behind hip hop music. Another pose covers the subject's face with a hat and hood, showing hip hop is unique and you can't judge without knowing someone as it provides mystery. A common pose in hip hop magazines shows focus and preparation through a good facial expression. A close-up shot is also recommended to show expressions and that subjects have nothing to hide, reflecting themes in hip hop/R&B music.

Vibe magazne
This document discusses using magazine covers from "VIBE" as examples for a project focused on the music genre of R&B. As VIBE magazine covers R&B and rap artists, all the artists featured on the front pages are from those genres. These magazine covers can provide ideas about design elements like style, text placement, white space use, and artist photography.
Find your Tribe
This document discusses starting a magazine focused on hip hop and rap music to appeal to "townies" who enjoy that genre. Although townies have a laid back style, they still enjoy music like hip hop. The magazine will solely feature hip hop and rap because that type of music is what many townies prefer.
Street photography
In this powerpoint you will see some of my own photos and the artist that have inspired me , the photos that you see are my own , street photography isnt my stron gpoint but happy with how this turned out
Researching genre
The document discusses common design elements and content of magazines in the R&B and hip hop/rap genres. It notes that these magazines typically feature popular and upcoming artists on the cover and use bold primary colors and black and white photographs that are sometimes manipulated. The text also indicates that these magazines usually include sans serif fonts and feature articles about artists' upcoming music, private lives, and behind-the-scenes details of music videos or recent events.
Photography test shoot analysis
The document analyzes several photography test shoots. It notes key details about the poses, backgrounds, body language, and styling that are intended to convey information about the subject's personality, attitude, and relationship to their genre of music. Elements like direct eye contact, sexy yet fierce expressions, and accessories related to music aim to draw the reader in and represent the subject's lifestyle and style within their industry. The empty backgrounds and spacing around images suggest they were taken for magazine covers, where additional text and graphics could be added.
Evaluation 2
The document compares two magazine front covers, analyzing similarities and differences in the poses, gestures, shot types, lighting, costumes, and hair between the covers. Both covers feature a crouching pose looking down at the viewer, meant to portray the artist as superior. However, the document's cover uses natural lighting while Vibes uses studio lighting, and its subject wears a leather jacket and headphones rather than stereotypical rapper clothing, to portray a more raw, authentic urban style.
Question 2 media evaluation
The document discusses the creative choices made in designing print products to promote an artist and music video. It describes taking inspiration from a Lana Del Rey magazine advert for the direct eye contact. It also details using a black heart motif on the digipak to convey the artist's pain before listening to the songs. Semiotic theory is discussed in relation to maintaining consistent iconography, genre cues, and fonts to clearly link all products. Camera angles, clothing, mise-en-scene, and font were also considered to best represent and promote the artist across different mediums.
Evaluation Question Two- How Effective Is The Combination Of Your Main
The combination of the artist's music video, digipak, and poster effectively convey a consistent message and style. In the music video, the artist is depicted as lonely and isolated, spending time alone outside. The dull colors and images of leaves used in the digipak and poster represent this somber mood. Scenes and images from the music video, like the artist walking away, are replicated in the other materials, making them instantly recognizable to the audience. The products maintain a cohesive style without relying on stereotypes, portraying the artist as confident and in control of her image.

Images of artists analysis
This document discusses and analyzes several photographs of artists. It summarizes how well each photograph uses techniques like the rule of thirds and symmetry. It also makes inferences about the genre of music each artist represents based on visual cues in the photographs. One photograph effectively uses the rule of thirds by placing the artist's face in the primary focal area. However, another two photographs do not use the rule of thirds well by not centering the face. These latter photographs are still assessed as providing space for magazine advertisements.
.
The document discusses how the artist portrayed in the photos for a rap magazine represents the target audience. Specifically:
- The artist's changing body language in different photos shows his motivation, representing the target audience who are also motivated to succeed.
- His minimal facial expressions and sunglasses portray a serious image, fitting the rap genre better than an overly smiling artist.
- Accessories like sunglasses and a hat give him a celebrity look that inspires the target audience.
- Colloquial language makes the magazine accessible to its young, hip hop audience while still using standard English for a wider readership.
- As a black male reformer who works hard and pursues quality music, the artist
Question 2
The document discusses how the author's music magazine represents and targets young R&B lovers as its main audience. It does this through the images and poses used of musicians showing some skin but still looking sophisticated to attract teenage girls. The poses aim to look serious like those in other R&B magazines. While the musicians' language in interviews is polite and understandable, their songs often use slang and swear words, which fans enjoy due to the catchy beats.
Rejected images
The document discusses reasons for rejecting several images for use on the front cover of a music magazine.
1. Some images were rejected because they were slightly blurry or had too many colors, which would not look professional or appeal to the target audience.
2. Other images showed the subject smiling and wearing a tiara, making the photos seem too nice and fashion-focused rather than appropriate for a music magazine genre.
3. Cutting off body parts like legs or hands in some photos also led to rejection for lack of professionalism.
Portrait proposal form
The candidate proposes to produce 10 portrait photos suitable for a music magazine. They will photograph their friends to appear confident. The photos will be primarily faces and bodies in different poses. The candidate is inspired by photographers like Paul Harris, Callan Hammond, and Phil Sharp, who take portrait photos for magazines. The candidate will use their Canon 600D camera, possibly with a 50mm lens, and shoot manually outside at Princes Park to get clear shots with no other people. They will consider lighting, ISO, shutter speed, and f-stop settings and keep framing simple since the focus is on the foreground subjects. A risk assessment will be completed.
Casting
The document considers several models for a magazine in the hip-hop genre: Tommy Ledwidge, Sean Nee, the author themselves, Shea Mckernan, and Liam Nixon. Tommy, Sean, and Shea are deemed suitable due to their looks and clothing fitting the genre. While the author could also model, they would need help taking photos. Liam is deemed less suitable since his style seems more suited to pop than hip-hop's serious aesthetic.
Main task photoshoot plan
The document outlines plans for a magazine proposal focused on the hip hop genre. It proposes the working title "POWER" and discusses targeting primarily male listeners ages 15-21, and secondarily non-hip hop listeners ages 16-35 with a C2, D, E income. Photoshoot plans include using a 16-year-old black male model on the front cover to represent typical hip hop listeners. Interior photoshoots would capture aspects of hip hop culture like rapping and freestyling in locations significant to the genre.
Photography ideas
The document discusses using an image of a male rapper from the waist up against a brick wall as the cover of a magazine about rap and R&B music. It notes that this type of image is commonly used on the covers of such magazines. It also discusses recreating a similar image for the inside double page spread, showing a model in urban clothing sitting on a bench near a building with graffiti. The document concludes by discussing incorporating black and white images of successful artists into another double page spread, such as one of Jay-Z wearing sunglasses and an expensive watch while working in the studio.
Video Research 2
The document discusses techniques used in a music video that the author observed. It notes that each artist rapped individually, allowing the audience to focus on them. This was likely deliberate by the director for the audience to closely listen to what was being rapped. The author plans to use the same technique of having solo performances to focus attention. Additionally, close-up shots of artists' faces stood out, letting the audience see emotions. Close-ups will be used to show the main character's feelings during hardships to help the audience identify with how he feels.
Location actorsandprops
The document discusses organizing the key elements of a photo shoot for a hip-hop magazine, including the location, actors, and props. For location, the focus will be on finding an area with good lighting for shots of actors against plain backgrounds. Actors will be 18+ to match the target demographic and a mask will be used to create the persona of a rapper without needing the actor to fit a hip-hop image. The main prop is a mask that will obscure the actor's face except for the eyes and be featured on the magazine cover and in a double page spread.
Target audience profile
The target audience for the magazine is males aged 16-25 who are seriously interested in hip-hop/rap music. They want to keep up with the latest news, artists, and stories in the genre to share with friends. They use hip-hop terminology and aspire to the strong, powerful image of famous artists. They listen to hip-hop music a lot and know about new songs from their favorite artists.
Original photos
The document discusses several photos that could be used for different sections of a magazine focused on hip hop music. For the contents page, one photo features a male model prominently in the center and represents stereotypes about hip hop centering around males. Another potential contents page photo subverts stereotypes by featuring a female model but still represents hip hop through clothing styles. Two photos are discussed for the front cover that feature models with hoods up and hands in pockets in line with hip hop conventions. Another potential double page spread photo emphasizes groups, aligning with hip hop stereotypes of focusing on groups or gangs with the central model most important.
Chosen photo double page spread
After researching existing R&B music magazines, the author incorporated elements they noticed were common, including an urban alleyway setting with a brick wall, urban street style fashion focused on the color black for the model, and a relaxed posture and lack of eye contact from the model to suggest a chilled atmosphere consistent with an urban photo shoot theme.
Mood Board 2
The document outlines details for a mood board for a hip hop photo shoot, including shooting the artist leaning against a wall outside to represent their roots, having them wear headphones to symbolize their connection to music, and dressing them in a plain t-shirt that contrasts with the background so they stand out while folding their arms and looking at the audience to directly address viewers.
Shirlaine forrest photography
Shirlaine Forrest is a freelance photographer from Manchester, UK who specializes in music, fashion, and portrait photography. Many of her photos are taken at live concerts and gigs in Manchester venues. One photo featured is of the band The Courteeners performing at one of their concerts. The photo uses an eye-level camera angle to clearly show the entire crowd and venue in the background, with the band members as the main focal point due to the depth of field.
Marianne harris analysis
1) The photograph shows a band performing live on stage, including members singing, playing guitar, and drums. The camera angle is from below and to the right of the stage, looking up slightly.
2) The background includes instruments, speakers, drinks, lights, and a man standing at the back who seems to be in charge of the stage. The genre seems to be rock/punk.
3) One band member can be seen jumping in the air while playing guitar, and the photographer likely used a fast shutter speed to avoid motion blur, as the band members are moving on stage.

Inside pages will use a minimal color palette of grey, black, white and red, with one page featuring a full body pose of J Blaze to showcase his character.

It also notes a common pose used in hip hop magazines shows focus and preparation through facial expression. A close-up shot is recommended to capture facial expressions and eye contact, showing nothing is hidden, reflecting the open nature of hip hop/R&B.

Careful consideration should be given to ensuring any ancillary efforts still align with and support the overall goals of the organization.
Target audience analysis
The document discusses target audience analysis for different magazines. It analyzes the front covers of magazines like XXL and Kerrang to understand how they appeal to their target audiences. XXL targets teenage and young adult males and females by featuring popular rappers on its cover. Kerrang targets rock music fans by including a competition to win Metallica shoes. The content pages of magazines like Kerrang provide information about bands and events to give readers a sense of what each section offers. An article about Bruno Mars in Vibe magazine appeals to its pop music audience by providing background on his rise to fame. The layout, images, and writing style used in the article help engage the target readership.
Masthead design
The document discusses designing a magazine masthead, noting that the author researched existing mastheads to inform their own design. They wanted their masthead to stand out and have its own identity rather than looking like others. Based on their research finding that red was overused, the author decided on a black masthead with the Georgia font in size 36 for their magazine called RIP.
Ideology essay
My Chemical Romance was an American rock band formed in 2001 consisting of lead singer Gerard Way and guitarists Ray Toro and Frank Iero, bassist Mikey Way, and keyboardist James Dewees. The band invited Kerrang magazine to show they were working on their fourth album, as they had not been making music for a while or split up the band. They wanted to quickly record an album but had to abandon that plan due to problems in working on the album.
Main image and representation
The document analyzes and compares the visual elements and composition of the front cover and a double page article spread that feature the model Lana del Rey. For the front cover, the image is a medium shot from the head to torso with a plain background, light makeup suggesting innocence, and bright lighting. The props imply she is a wounded princess. In the article spread, the close-up image has some out-of-focus scenery, darker makeup giving a dramatic look, darker lighting, and her body language suggests deep thought. The article layout has information on the right side in three paragraphs with drop capitals and equal columns.
Todorov's theory
Narratives help make sense of facts by connecting events and allowing interpretations of those connections. The human mind organizes information into a beginning, middle, and end structure to find meaning. Stories follow a pattern of an initial equilibrium being disrupted by an event, recognition of the disruption, and an attempt to repair the damage and achieve a new equilibrium.
Evaluation 2
The document discusses how the magazine and film poster for a horror movie connect and reinforce each other. Both use the same font and color scheme of red, white, and blue to create consistency. They also feature low-key lighting and dark backgrounds common in horror works to set the mood. Additionally, the poster and trailer were shot in the same location and feature the same antagonist, challenging genre conventions. The target audience of 15-25 year old males and females is consistent across the materials. Overall, various design elements were deliberately chosen to clearly link the magazine, poster, and film trailer.

The Horror Genre - Media Studies
The document discusses common stock characters, plots, locations, and props used in horror films. Some key stock characters mentioned include the protagonist, antagonist, final girl, and children who are often used to connect the supernatural to other characters. Common plots involve a family moving to a haunted house/location and the father going insane. Isolated locations like cabins in the woods and haunted houses are frequently used due to their ability to create fear. Weapons are a common prop that illustrate vulnerability and are used by both antagonists and protagonists.
Horror film target audience
The document discusses target audiences for horror films. It states that horror films primarily target younger audiences between ages 15-25, as this demographic enjoys thrills. Younger audiences tend not to be bothered by graphic images, while older audiences often find them disturbing. Horror films also generally target males more than females, as males are stereotypically seen as enjoying violence and thrills more. The middle class is another common target, as horror films allow for an exciting experience at low cost. Successful horror films understand and aim to please their intended target audiences.
Horror Movie Target Audience
The target audience for horror movies is typically ages 15-25 as young adults are developing themselves and seeking thrills. Males are more likely fans than females due to portrayals of violence and thrill-seeking in horror aligning with stereotypical male interests. Overall, horror movies aim for working class audiences who want an inexpensive thrill. Common audiences include friends seeking excitement together, or couples using a horror film as a first date or relationship activity.
Mise en scene
The dominant contrast is Enid, dressed in bright blue. After taking her in, the eye is drawn to:
- Seymour, who is also a large object in focus. As the other person in the conversation, he is an important secondary focus.
- The kitchen backdrop and appliances, which provide context for the setting of the scene.
So in summary, after Enid, the eye moves between Seymour as the other character, and the kitchen setting around them, which provides information about where this interaction is taking place.

Image
The document discusses planning for photos for the front cover and double page spread of a hip hop magazine. It notes that front cover images are typically mid-close ups while double page spreads use mid shots. Location, artist, costumes, props, and lighting must all be carefully considered to effectively represent the hip hop genre through iconography and convey the intended message without confusing readers. Front lighting cannot be too bright or too dark to ensure high image quality while maintaining associations with hip hop culture.
Question 1 - media evaluation
This document summarizes how the media product uses and develops conventions of real music magazines. It discusses choices made for the magazine title "Fresh", the blue color scheme, poses and lighting of cover images to appear like a real R&B magazine. Costuming and layouts were also designed to match conventions, such as dark colors and simple designs. The written content aims for an informal yet credible tone befitting the young target audience. Musical genres are conveyed through imagery, colors and artist references consistent with real R&B magazines.
Effective images
This document discusses the effectiveness of several photos for a hip hop genre magazine. It analyzes each photo based on factors like posing, facial expression, angle, attire and how well it represents the serious tone of hip hop. Some photos are deemed highly suitable due to depicting serious looks that fit the genre through poses and clothing, while others could be improved by changing the outfit or adjusting the lighting in post-production. An engaging smile and eye contact in one photo makes the subject inviting and draws the reader in.
Proof / Evaluation Of Original Imagery - Music Magazine
The document discusses photos taken for a music magazine focused on the hip-hop genre. Several photos are rejected for various reasons such as backgrounds being difficult to remove, lighting issues, lack of full-body shots to show clothing, facial expressions not matching the genre, and clothing styles resembling other genres like indie or rock rather than hip-hop. Accepted photos show straight-on shots with good lighting and facial expressions, full-body views to showcase brands, and styles resembling the hip-hop genre.
Task 9 formal proposal example
This document outlines initial ideas for a new R&B/pop music magazine called LOUD, aimed at ages 15-25 of all ethnicities. The front cover will feature a vibrant medium shot of a white male/female artist to attract diverse readers. The contents page will list articles categorically alongside related images. A double page celebrity interview will use photos instead of text to showcase personality through various shot types of the artist.
Q1
The document discusses conventions used in hip-hop magazine design and how the author incorporated and challenged some of these conventions in their own hip-hop magazine project. Some conventions that were used include a colorful masthead, cover image showing the artist, and incorporating the colors red, black, and yellow. Some conventions that were challenged include using white as a background color and expanding the use of yellow bordering for text. The goal was to create a magazine that would be recognizable as hip-hop while also making it stand out from others.
Evaluation Of Final Product1
The document discusses the evaluation of a hip hop magazine called "Pulse".
The magazine title reflects the music genre of hip hop and R&B as "pulse" refers to rhythm. Images in the magazine are set in run-down urban areas to give an authentic feel while avoiding clichés.
The magazine title font uses a graffiti style to immediately signal the hip hop genre. Bold colors are used to make the magazine stand out. Articles include interviews and use plain language to engage readers. Layouts aim to look rough and urban through natural lighting and interesting composition.
Question 5
The document discusses various techniques used in a music magazine to attract its target audience of hip hop/R&B fans. Images are used on the cover and throughout that feature models in clothing and poses emulating the genre. Colors, fonts, and layout are designed to clearly signal the magazine's focus. Articles use slang language, quotes, and a question/answer format aimed at engaging younger readers. Freebies and competitions are included to incentivize audience interaction.
Contact sheet2
The photos selected will be used in the magazine. They are clearer than previous photos due to better lighting and poses that reflect street culture. Darker backgrounds make the models stand out more. Photos were taken outside at dusk using flash so models stand out against backgrounds. Poses are serious and reflective of street style associated with rap music. Tracksuits worn also reflect this style. Photos will be used on the cover, contents page, and double page spread based on poses, sizes, and variety. Additional photos may be taken if needed.
Question 5
The document discusses various design elements used in a music magazine to attract the target audience of hip hop and R&B fans. These include using direct eye contact on the cover to engage readers, modeling costumes and poses the audience can relate to, including studio props and images representing the artists' characteristics, employing bold typography and colors associated with the genre, and adding freebies and competitions to incentivize readers. Question and answer structure, floating quotes, images, and slang are used to make the written content more appealing to younger audiences.
Question 2 for evaluation
This document summarizes the strategies used to attract and address the intended audience of a rap magazine called "Youth". The front cover features prominent artists like Eminem to attract rap fans. The masthead and tagline promote the magazine's focus on young, fresh rappers. Throughout the magazine, a color scheme of green and black is used consistently to link all elements in the style. Images are selected to represent the target demographic of young males, with some exceptions to add variety. Formatting choices like bold text for titles and a green box on the contents page help guide readers through the magazine's content.
Task11 original images
The document discusses why an image of Runa was chosen for the magazine contents page and cover. For the contents page, the image depicted her holding a microphone, suggesting music, and wearing formal clothes suited for R&B rather than hip hop. For the cover, the image would be easier to edit with Photoshop to have a white background and showed her looking at the camera to connect with audiences, as is conventional for covers. It was also used because accessories were clearly visible, indicating the music genre.
Images
The document discusses retaking images for a magazine article to provide more variety and better represent the subject's personality. The author retook pictures of the musician model playing piano and singing into a microphone. One image used shows the model smiling, going against the stereotype of serious R&B artists. The images were edited in Photoshop by cropping out backgrounds and airbrushing faces to look even on white or transparent backgrounds for use in the magazine layout.

- 2. I may use this position for my magazine, as it shows that the magazine is ready and there is a sense of holiness, and that hip hop is not all about rap, there is some meaning behind R&B/Hip Hop Also the way you can not see his face, as it is covered by his snap back and hood, showing that R&B/Hip Hop is unique, you can’t judge someone without knowing them, as it gives a sense of mystery
- 3. This is the most popular and common pose that is mostly used in hip hop magazines, as this shows a good facial expression , as it makes them look focused and they know what they are doing, as they are prepared for what to come.
- 4. I like the use if the close up shot, as this has a lot of facial expressions going on, as she is looking straight at the camera, as she has nothing to hide from, which R&B/Hip Hop is all about.
