The proposal unit 31
The magazine will focus on an up-and-coming UK grime/rap artist named J Blaze. It will use informal language to appeal to its teenage audience and focus on the raw, gritty music genre. The layout will be elegant yet minimalistic to primarily promote the artist. The cover will feature a full-length picture of J Blaze holding a golden microphone at an angle that shows most of his face. 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.
How does your media product represent particular social
The magazine aims to appeal to fans of indie music, particularly those in social class ABC1 aged 16-30, with a main focus on men. This is shown through the cover artist, who is portrayed using body language on the cover and in photos as serious and mysterious to connect with audiences. In photos, he is depicted through costuming and settings associated with indie artists, such as outside in urban areas. The article balances portraying him seriously with his rebel persona through most photos, but then shows his real, light-hearted side by depicting him laughing across a double page spread.

Music front cover analysis
The front cover of a rap/hip hop music magazine represents the intimidating and anti-social nature of the featured artist well. The artist wears a hood, smokes a cigarette, and swears at the camera to appear threatening, reinforcing his aggressive persona. The dark background and fence further establish his serious demeanor and anti-authority attitude, appealing to his target audience for this genre of serious music.
Research log
The document discusses the styles and subjects of various photographers. It analyzes photographers such as Sue Kennedy who focuses on natural baby photos, Susan Cohen who captures moments in people's lives like a girl's prom night, and Dorothea Lange who documented the hardship of the Great Depression. It also mentions photographers like Jerry Uelsman who creates montages by merging photos, Annie Liebovitz who shoots for magazines in black and white, and Robert Capa who captured emotions through photos of different wars. The document provides a brief overview of the styles and subjects of these and other photographers such as Edward Curtis, Alexander Gardner, Inez van Lamsweerde, and Gillian Wearing.
Photo shoot evidence
Rebecca Phillips chose a model that represents the music genre of her magazine through her fashion sense and appearance. She asked the model to bring clothes that aligned with the magazine's indie/hipster style inspiration. Phillips did the model's makeup with dark eye makeup to make her eyes stand out for the photoshoot. She shot inside to control the lighting, using lamps, a reflector, and a white sheet against a green screen to properly light the model and create flowing shadows reminiscent of her inspiration.

Photography research
The document summarizes four photographs from a photography research project focused on the hip-hop music genre. Photograph 1 shows a model in hip-hop attire looking away from the camera with a hood up, suggesting an attitude. Photograph 2 features a model with a boom box backdrop listening to hip-hop. Photograph 3 is a low-angle shot of a model in hip-hop clothing with a smug expression on stairs, suggesting she hangs out on the streets. Photograph 4 depicts two boys in hats with graffiti behind them, looking away and keeping to themselves. The influence section outlines plans to shoot cover and spread photos on graffiti locations with street costumes and serious expressions to represent hip-hop.
Ideology
A midshot is used to show three popular artists dressed in black, looking directly at the camera. Their black clothing contrasts with the bright yellow background and title text, relating to the song "Black and Yellow" by Wiz Khalifa. The artists' serious expressions and lack of flashy jewelry portray them as down-to-earth musicians focused on their craft. The small artist names at the top identify who is featured in the magazine. Their body language conveys intimidation and victory. Yellow represents optimism, closely relating to pop music, the genre's origins in black culture, and guiding the reader through the text pieces. The magazine aims to inform 16-20 year olds about new hip hop music through appealing images and a

The photos aimed to portray Mary stereotypically as an indie artist, playing music in venues and on the street. Additional photos of another model, Keren, were also taken in a music studio to represent her as an indie musician. Some photos were identified as potential cover images, contents pages, or double page spreads for a magazine focused on female indie artists.

Question 2 media evalutation
The magazine aims to appeal to both male and female audiences. Neutral colors like burgundy, blue, white and black are used on the cover. Indie music icons like Ben Howard and The Vaccines are featured to appeal to females, while an attractive woman on the cover is intended to attract males. Pictures from live music gigs featuring article artists are included to appeal to the young target audience who enjoy such events. Close-up photos of artists with direct eye contact and open mouths aim to convey an alluring and sensual appeal to broaden the magazine's gender attraction. Accessories like necklaces also help emphasize the indie music genre.
Task 7
During one of his shows, musical comedian Bo Burnham performed his song "Repeat Stuff" which pokes fun at Justin Bieber's music videos and lyrics. Burnham's song highlights issues with the media's influence on teenage girls' self-esteem and the cycle of celebrity obsession it creates. Though Bieber did not publicly respond, Burnham later apologized to him on Conan, saying it was not personal. Burnham uses satire and taboo topics in his comedy to make pointed critiques, though his on-stage persona is brash compared to his shy off-stage self. His performance took risks by criticizing pop music but seemed to land a punch that Bieber did not counter.

The document discusses The Weeknd's image and persona based on clues from his album cover artwork and social media presence. On the cover, he wears plain black clothing and has a serious facial expression, suggesting a calm and serious persona.

He aims to be seen as an inspirational figure through his music.
Selection and Rejection
The document discusses the selection and rejection of six images for a magazine. Image 4 and Image 5 are selected because they use natural lighting effectively and depict the artists in a natural, personal manner suggesting openness.

To represent this group, the magazine includes a music festival competition, focuses on artists who play instruments like guitar, and features models dressed in clothing found at stores like Urban Outfitters.

Costume and Prop Research
The document outlines the plans for an indie pop magazine, including style icons, theme, front cover, contents page, and double page spread. The magazine will have a vintage 1970s/80s retro feel with a black and white color scheme and splashes of color. On the front cover, a close-up shot of the model will be in black and white with colored text. The contents page will feature Polaroid photos of the model and a gray background. The double page spread will continue the same color scheme and feature a close-up of the model and her interview presented in black boxes on a vintage background.
EVALUATION QUESTION 3
The document discusses conventions used in hip-hop magazines and how the product challenges or develops some of those conventions:
- Bold text and certain color schemes like red, black, and white are typically used but pink is used instead to appeal to a female audience.
- Images are usually taken indoors but are taken outdoors against white walls to find a better scene with graffiti. Poses still aim to portray power and dominance however.
- Poses of the female artist are strong and intimidating rather than sexualized, challenging the convention of focusing on females' sex lives rather than their music.
Media evaluation q2
The document discusses how the media product represents particular social groups. It aims its pop/indie magazine at 15-25 year old males and females. It styles the magazine to appeal to this target indie/pop audience through the colors, fonts, and use of indie-styled models. The name "Jukebox" was chosen as it is music-related and simple like other popular magazines. The color scheme and photos were selected to match typical pop style while still looking indie. Poses in photos often included an instrument to fit the indie style. Both male and female audiences are represented through shared fashion tastes and the choice of a female artist on the cover.
Evaluation Question 2
My media product represents the social group of "indie" in several ways. I used images of a model on the cover that conveyed an indie attitude - serious but relaxed. Throughout the magazine I featured many indie bands that would appeal to this audience. I also used design elements like colors, fonts, and casual language that are popular within indie culture. The images on the contents page similarly included aspects that indie fans appreciate, like concerts and guitars. Finally, my double page spread portrayed a band in a way that matched the "carefree" attitude associated with indie fans through its serious but happy depiction.

Sources
The document describes the sources used for images in an 8-slide presentation about Alice in Wonderland. Images for the first slide came from Google Images and cosplay websites. Slide 2 images came from New Look, Autoshapes, and Google Images. Slide 3 images came from searches for "Alice in Wonderland drawing" and "book". Slide 4 images came from Google, Twitter, and New Look. Slide 5 images linked to Polyvore and Glamour from Google/Google Images. Slide 6 images all came from Google Images. Slides 7-8 images came from Disney-themed pinboards on Pinterest.
Costumes
The document provides ideas and inspiration for costumes for a music video, including everyday "home clothes" and more formal clothes representing fantasy. For home clothes, examples given are zipped jackets, leggings, jogging bottoms, pajama bottoms and t-shirts. For the formal fantasy costumes, the document suggests taking inspiration from Alice in Wonderland, with the main character wearing a simple dress, elegant hair, and flat shoes, to portray her imagined perfect world on stage. Google Images and Pinterest are cited as sources of examples of Alice in Wonderland and other Disney-inspired cosplay outfits.
Audience research
The majority of respondents to the audience research were female, aged 16-24, white British ethnicity. Most watch music videos weekly on YouTube or TV. For an alternative rock band, respondents expect videos to be dramatic, dark, high energy, or show the band live. They prefer videos that are eye-catching, tell a story, or show the band having fun. While album artwork and ads sometimes influence purchases, most feel narrative in music videos adds value.
Album analysis
Simple text on the front of the album works well against the background in Kodaline's own font. The front features a tranquil scene by water with people enjoying themselves in the mountains and clouds, representing a "perfect world". The back transitions the scene from day to night, and features the song names clearly in a classy font and color with the barcode standing out against the background. Copyright information and brands are also included.
Digipaks part 1 eps
Before releasing their debut studio album, Irish band Kodaline put out four EPs between 2012-2013 with similar beach-themed covers, containing between 4-6 songs each. Fans can still purchase the EPs digitally for a low price on platforms like Amazon, iTunes and Google Play. EPs are defined as musical recordings longer than singles but shorter than full albums, and have traditionally been used by punk and indie bands to preview upcoming albums.

Photography plan
- 1. Photography plan I need to plan out what type of photographs I’ll be featuring throughout my magazine. For this I need to take a lot into consideration. Who? For my photos I’ll either be using one or two people to pose as a made up female singer/duo. They/she will be dressed in her/their own clothes which fit the genre (indie and pop) The photos will be posed
- 2. Who? continued Name: Emily and possibly Elena and Kate Costumes: jeans, t-shirt/blouse converses and big hair Props: none/maybe headphones (own) Style: natural looking pose
- 3. Where? The main cover photo will be taken in the Museum Gardens or in an independent café to fit in to the indie theme of the magazine and the others will also be taken in an independent café When? Taken on a weekend rather than in college because it will be easier to go the locations I want for the photos on a weekend
- 4. How? Rough ideas Cover photo: Artist/duo sat on stairs in Museum Gardens (pictured) make it posed but in a way also quite natural looking. Extra pictures for double page spread and contents: Taken in independent cafés e.g. Coffee Culture and Harlequin
- 5. Extra photos Own photos taken from concerts to use for the contents page e.g. Conor Maynard Lawson Scouting for Girls etc. artists from Big Gig and Party in the Park
- 6. Extra pictures e.g. : Bright colours to fit in with the pop theme Quick ideas Independent cafés that aren’t commercialised Colours: Locations: Need to fit the colour scheme of blue, orangey-red, white and black
