Media evaluations
This document summarizes a student's media coursework which involved designing magazine covers and contents pages. The student created mock magazine covers of personal interest and for students to improve their knowledge. They also conducted polls to understand what students want to read about. The student developed their skills in image editing, layout design, and using publishing software while iterating on their magazine designs from a first draft to a final music magazine product. They reflected on improving time management and more frequent blog updates for future projects.
Evaluation

The target audience is described as those interested in alternative music genres like indie, rock, and metal.
Creating my college magazine
Here is a slideshow of how my preliminary task of creating a college magazine has helped me and allowed me to gain skills for when I create my music magazine.
Evaluation of magazine 1
The document describes the process of designing a drum and bass music magazine. The author researched conventions from magazines like MixMag and Raveline to inform their own magazine's style and layout. While not directly copying other magazines, the author took ideas and modified them to create their own publication. The target audience is fans of drum and bass music. To appeal to this group, the magazine features well-known drum and bass DJs and MCs. As an avid drum and bass listener, the author believes they have a good understanding of what content would interest readers.
Question 1
This document discusses the process of creating a magazine media product for a class. It examines how the creator analyzed various magazines to get ideas for fonts, layouts, images and colors. They particularly liked the style of "Vibe" magazine focused on R&B music. While using "Vibe" as inspiration, the creator changed aspects like headings, pictures and colors to develop their own style. The document reflects on the challenges of making the magazine look professional and how feedback helped improve the final product.
Question 7
The document describes the process of creating a magazine using Photoshop. For the first magazine attempt, the author selected colors for the background, added a fade effect, inserted two images while removing unwanted parts with the rubber tool, and used different fonts and sizes for the title text. Screenshots were taken using keyboard shortcuts. For the finished magazine, placing details at first was difficult but became easier. Tools like refining edges were used to soften images. Text placement and design consistency across pages were learned.
Pe magazine
The student created a practice front cover for a magazine about how music has changed over time. They collected photos of iconic musicians through different eras and placed them at the bottom of the page with the title "Music Through Time" across the top. For their double page spread, they included an introductory article and created a timeline of music through the decades using black and white photos of older artists to show chronological order. While their practice pieces were not professional quality, the student was pleased with what they learned about InDesign techniques that could be applied to their final project.

Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

It explains that the masthead establishes the name and genre of the magazine. The lead image shows readers the main topic and artist featured. The pull quote gives insights from interviews. The menu bar and cover lines provide overviews of other stories. A flash draws attention to promotions. Together these elements entice readers to learn more about the magazine's content.
3. production experiments
The document describes the process of designing a fishing magazine. It explains how the designer first created a yellow masthead using tools in the software. Photos and text were then added, including a main cover photo with a black stroke. Additional photos were placed but later removed to make it look more like conventional fishing magazines. A footer and barcode were finally added. The reflection notes that while some elements like cover lines and mastheads will be used, the final magazine layout will differ since it is for hip-hop music rather than fishing.

Analysis of front cover and contents
The document describes the process of designing a contents page for a school magazine. It includes sectioning the page into columns, splitting the contents into regular articles and feature sections, and adding captions to three uploaded pictures. Headings were written from left to right. The masthead, main article quote, issue date and number were positioned according to conventions.

Presentation 3 a2
The media product is a UK rap music video that uses conventions found in other rap videos to appear authentic. Some conventions employed include the main artist wearing jewelry, street clothing like hoodies and hats, and typical settings like council estates. However, some elements are unconventional, like scenes in a cemetery or park instead of only stereotypical urban settings. The video also subverts stereotypes by portraying the artist as a caring, emotional character rather than only aggressive.
Looking back at your preliminary task, what
Looking back at the preliminary and final versions of the front page, contents page, and double page spread, the student learned several lessons:
1) The final versions were more organized, used consistent formatting and colors, included relevant details like page numbers and issue numbers, and had a clearer focal point or subject.
2) Early versions lacked sufficient details, organization and consistency. For example, the preliminary front page did not have enough "sell lines" and the background was too plain.
3) Including relevant visual elements like pictures, models, and magazine conventions improved audience engagement. The final versions incorporated props, floating quotes and smaller front page images to look more authentic.
