The document discusses ways to improve a magazine cover. It identifies that the cover lines could be worded more professionally to appeal to the target audience of A-level students. While the font style and text positioning of the cover lines are effective, changing the wording could make the magazine seem more professional. Receiving feedback from a peer was helpful to understand how to better interest the target audience and make the cover more polished. Adjusting the wording of the cover lines and lowering the main image would enhance the professionalism of the magazine cover. The feedback was constructive as it identified specific improvements that could positively impact how the audience perceives the magazine.

Peer assessment feedback media
The document summarizes peer feedback received on a magazine cover design preliminary task. It identifies 3 main strengths, including the use of text and layout techniques that appeal to the target audience. However, the masthead needs to stand out more from the main image and cover lines. The main image is also too wide and distant from the model. If resubmitting, the document states changes would be made to the main image, masthead design, and inclusion of more enticing cover lines. Overall, the feedback was seen as constructive in identifying strengths and weaknesses to improve the preliminary task.
NME task 2b contents page
The document summarizes the layout and design elements of a magazine contents page. It explains that the page uses a rule of thirds layout with text and images organized into nine equal sections to appear structured. Larger main images are used as focal points to make the page appealing, with photo captions. Standard fonts, colors, and conventions are employed to look professional and engage the target audience of 15-30 year olds. Key details like page numbers, headlines and subheadings, and the masthead and issue date are included to help readers navigate and understand the issue.
School magazine analysis
Keshia Lavall-Smith analyzes the front cover and contents page of a school magazine. For the front cover, positive points include the coverline explaining what's included, directly addressing the reader, and giving the magazine status. Negative points are unrealistic negative space, an unprofessional framed picture, and unusual masthead font and size. For the contents page, positive points are the school-colored scheme, recognizable logo, and balanced photo to text ratio. Negative points include unrealistic page number, poorly cropped images, and lack of symmetrical balance. Tools used on the front cover include cropping, gradients, and color selection.
Task 16 evaluation question 1 double page spread
Both magazine spreads use a similar interview layout with questions and answers in columns. However, the key differences are:
- The OP magazine has the title, subtitles, and logo on the left page only, following convention. Q magazine spreads these elements across both pages.
- Q magazine does not include a page number, breaking convention. The OP magazine includes a page number in yellow for branding consistency.
- Quotes are presented differently, with the OP magazine making some quotes larger than others to attract readers. Q magazine does not vary quote sizes.
Overall the OP magazine follows most conventions around layout and branding elements, while Q magazine breaks some conventions in its presentation of elements across the double page.

Draft Feedback
This document provides feedback on ways to improve a draft magazine. It identifies several areas for improvement, including making the cover image brighter and more interesting, aligning cover page text, reducing text size on the contents page to allow for more content, improving photography skills and resizing images, decreasing font size and improving margins on the double page spread, and changing the double page spread heading to be less like a band name.

The writer plans to make these identified improvements to create a more professional and engaging final magazine.
Question 1
The document discusses the conventions used and challenged in a media magazine product. It summarizes that the magazine mostly conforms to conventions seen in other magazines through its layout, masthead positioning, use of coverlines and consistent camera shots of models making eye contact. However, some conventions are challenged through a simplified contents page that lists only key pages rather than being overly busy, and a double page spread that dedicates both pages to a full interview alongside images rather than splitting content across pages. The goal is to provide the reader with a crisp, easy to navigate product that still includes important information.

The document discusses ways in which the author has used, developed, and challenged conventions of regional magazine design in creating their own regional magazine cover and contents. Specifically, it addresses choices made regarding font size, mastheads, imagery, color schemes, additional features, and article/page structures. The author aimed to attract their target teenage audience while still drawing from researched regional magazine examples. They made intentional design decisions to engage readers while putting their own spin on typical magazine conventions.
Media question 1
My media product follows the conventions of real magazines and does not challenge or develop existing forms. The magazine contains banners, headlines, barcodes and mastheads like typical magazines. The contents page includes more images than examples but they are smaller and evenly spaced. This double page spread best fits conventions with big headlines, a full-page image, and direct eye contact to engage readers. Elements like drop caps, page numbers and bylines were included to look professional and complete by following researched industry standards.
Ancillary task summary
The document summarizes common conventions used in billboards and webpages for regional magazines. Billboards typically feature large, contrasting images that accurately represent the magazine alongside the magazine name in a prominent font. They also include promotional text to intrigue readers. Webpages commonly include social media links, menu tabs for navigation, images advertising features, and search bars. They also offer special subscriptions deals and make subscribing conveniently accessible from the homepage.
Evaluation question 1
This document discusses how the media product uses and develops conventions of real magazines. It analyzes several design elements:
- The masthead, images, cover lines, and dates/issue numbers follow magazine conventions to create brand awareness and inform readers.
- Columns, page numbers, and anchor text are used to organize content and guide readers through the magazine in a clear, readable way.
- Features like social media links and pull quotes engage younger audiences and fulfill their needs, adapting conventions for the target demographic.
While most elements conform to magazine standards, unconventional aspects like larger cover images and two-column layouts are meant to stand out and enhance the reading experience. Overall conventions are both challenged and supported
Evaluation question 1
This document discusses the conventions used in the media product's design and how they challenge conventions.
It examines several design elements - the masthead, images, cover lines, dates/issue numbers, columns on the contents page, page numbers, and social media links. For most elements, it explains how the conventions were used or developed, such as the masthead matching the color scheme, medium shots of images to create relationships with audiences, and columns to organize information.
However, some elements challenge conventions, like the main cover image taking up more space than typical and only two columns used on a page instead of three. The inclusion of social media links is also presented as unconventional for magazines.
Reflection on the prelim task
The filmmakers accomplished their goals of achieving a 180 degree rule, match on action, and shot reverse shot in their preliminary film. While using the camera was initially tricky and some shots had to be retaken due to memory issues, the filmmakers were pleased with how the prelim task went overall. The prelim task provided an opportunity for the filmmakers to learn camera and tripod usage as well as be creative in developing narrative and exploring new camera angles.

Conetnst page analysis 1
The document summarizes the key design elements of a magazine contents page. It discusses how the masthead is subtle and the focus is on highlighting the most important articles. Short descriptions of the articles are meant to intrigue readers into learning more. Images are included to further spark readers' interest in articles. Color scheme and layout are kept consistent with the magazine's style.
House style improved
The magazine has a consistent house style for its covers. It typically features a large central image of the artist to indicate they are the main focus of the issue. It also includes the band's name layered over the image. The positioning and lighting of the images helps convey the tone or style of the band. Backgrounds are generally black or grey to suit the rock genre. The logo and word "classic" are never obscured to maintain brand recognition. The cover lines describing the band are styled to match their musical style.
Potential magazine names
This is my research and planning assignment in which i had to go and discover the right font and masthead name for my rock magazine. This task helped me in finding the right masthead and font that appeals to the audience the most
Contents page analysis 3
The document provides information from the editor on the layout and purpose of different elements in a magazine. It explains that the editor's notes are in small font to not distract from the main content. Most articles have small accompanying images to help readers understand them better, though a larger image on one article shows it is likely the main feature. Date and issue details help with finding current and worthwhile issues to buy. Subheadings down the right side categorize content to aid navigation. The subscription box at the front aims to encourage ordering more issues through a deal.
Magazine title and font research
This document lists potential magazine title options and font styles related to music genres including headbangers, blues, and rock. It includes title ideas like Headbangers, Plectrum, and Telecaster that reference rock and blues music as well as font styles evoking those genres such as twang and delta blues.
Conetents page analysis 2
The magazine's masthead is large but in a color that blends into the white background, making it subtle and not distracting. It is layered under the main image so readers are drawn to the logo when seeing the brightest part of the page. The formal font chosen for the content page conveys that the magazine aims to deliver compelling, factual articles, despite showing rap artists on the cover. The content page uses the same color palette as the cover to maintain the magazine's house style and signal upbeat topics. Captions provide information about the images and artists.

Evaluation
The document provides an evaluation of the student's magazine front cover and contents page. It discusses how the front cover represents the target audience of students through the main image of a teenage boy and cover lines about topics relevant to students. The student is pleased with how professional the front cover looks overall and feels the main image and masthead will attract the target audience. Some aspects of the contents page could be improved, such as adding more material and links to social media platforms relevant to students.
Evaluation
The student created magazine products including a front cover, contents page, and double page spread focused on an indie music theme. The products used some conventions from real magazines like Q and NME for layout, color schemes, and inclusion of logos and mastheads. However, the student also tried to make the products unique, such as using an unconventional photo on the contents page. Through the process, the student learned about designing for their target audience and using technologies like blogs and image editing software.
Q1
The magazine cover challenges conventions by not having the model directly address the viewer and look down instead to attract attention for being diverse. It also leaves a sense of mystery with the title "NO FACE NO CASE" which references grime music. However, an faint image of the model was added for communication.
The contents page is more conventional by anchoring page numbers and using multiple images and line of sight, but it only announces 3 of many storylines to look modern.
The double page spread construction is the most pleasing page with consistent color, effective columns, and an in-depth Q&A interview suited for the target audience and genre. Transparency is used with layered leg images and faces blended into the background
Evaluations
My magazine represents college students through images on the cover and contents that students can relate to. The sans serif font makes the magazine seem modern and appeal to younger readers. While the contents provide useful information for students, they only represent stereotypical students rather than exploring a diversity of experiences. Images and articles in the contents aim to show different social groups on campus through pictures of students, transportation, and campus activities.
rough cut comparison
The document compares the writer's rough draft magazine cover and contents pages to a professional magazine. It identifies several areas for improvement, including making subheadings and page numbers bolder and larger, adding more images and quotes to engage readers, and changing fonts and layouts to better suit the target teenage audience. Overall, the writer aims to incorporate design elements from the professional magazine, such as shapes, varied fonts, and white backgrounds, to produce a final draft that is more visually appealing and reader-focused.
Evaulation question 1
This document evaluates the cover, contents page, and double page spread of a magazine. The cover features a large pink masthead in the top corner with the title and artist's name. The cover image is of artist Melissa Hunt with minimal editing to enhance contrast. Feature headlines on the cover share the same color scheme but one stands out more with the number "50". The contents page includes photos of artists to create awareness and draw in younger audiences. The double page spread has a bold masthead and "real" subheading to draw readers in, along with exclusive studio photos and informal written text to relate to younger readers.
Media evaluation question 1
My magazine uses conventions from real media products to appear professional and realistic. On the front cover, I followed the rule of thirds by placing the title along the top and main headline in the lower third, with the image on the right side to guide the eye. The content page also uses conventions like rule of thirds and a large central image to draw the eye to stories of interest. Even on text-heavy spreads, I apply techniques like the three-color palette rule to make the pages neat and easy to read. Overall, my magazine adopts standard formatting rules and features found in professional pop music magazines.
Feedback and Evaluation
The student created a magazine cover for a school publication about starting 6th form. They received positive feedback on the use of color, realistic images, and readable fonts. Negative feedback suggested adding a selling line, making the heading and main cover line stand out more. The student made changes like adding a white selling line in the corner, giving the heading a shadow to stand out, and making the word "FRESH" larger in the main cover line. The revisions improved the professionalism and appeal of the cover based on key magazine design conventions.
Evaluation
The document summarizes how the media product follows and challenges conventions of real magazines. It follows conventions by placing the masthead at the top, using direct address from the model, having a main cover line and smaller side lines, and putting the barcode at the bottom. It challenges conventions by using a medium shot instead of close-up of the model to show her outfit, and only using sans serif fonts. The contents page follows conventions by listing page numbers and adding a masthead and images. It challenges conventions by including social media usernames. The double page article follows conventions with a large headline and columns but challenges them by using a full shot of the seated model and a patterned background.
Evaluation
The document summarizes how the magazine both follows and challenges conventions. It follows conventions in having a masthead, skyline, coverlines positioned around the main image, centered image of a person, splash graphic, price placement, and barcode. However, it challenges conventions by not differentiating the masthead font, having coverlines in the same font, a non-abstract splash shape, and price in the same font. The contents page follows conventions by having a clear title, relevant images, easy to read columns for news and features with page numbers. It challenges conventions with a competition to incentivize buying.
Feedback and Evaluation of Cover
The student created a magazine cover about starting 6th form and received feedback from peers. The feedback suggested adding a selling line, making the heading bolder, and making the main cover line stand out more. Based on this, the student added a white selling line in the corner reading "Achieve everything you want here". To make the heading bolder, a black "GO" was added behind the pink one. The word "FRESH" was made larger to draw attention to the main cover line. These changes made the cover more realistic and appealing.
Evaluation
The document summarizes how the student's college magazine product both follows and challenges conventions of professional magazines. It follows conventions such as using a masthead, rule of thirds layout, coverlines, and anchoring images. However, it challenges conventions by using a mid-long shot of the model rather than a medium close-up, not including a background, and having a less intriguing contents page lacking star power compared to a celebrity magazine. Overall, the document evaluates how the student's magazine both adheres to typical magazine formats but also differs in some respects.
Focus group summary of finished product
The document summarizes feedback from a focus group on a mock newspaper product. The focus group provided positive feedback, noting that the newspaper looked professional with its masthead, color scheme, and overall layout. They felt the large images and bold headlines would attract readers. However, one comment suggested including more advertisements. Overall, the focus group agreed the newspaper achieved its goals of looking like a real product and encouraging readers to purchase it.
Media evaluation question_4[1]
The target audience for the media product is mainly men aged 15-27. Research through surveys found that most respondents were men in this age range. Similar magazines tended to have bright, colorful designs that appealed to younger audiences. Minor adjustments were suggested based on feedback, such as changing font colors for easier reading and removing elements from images to create a cleaner look. The comments helped identify ways to improve the magazine.
How did you attract and address your audience
The document discusses how the author addressed and attracted their target audience for their magazine. They compared their magazine to NME, a similar professional music magazine. They analyzed NME's fonts, colors, images, and layout elements and incorporated similar designs into their own magazine to appeal to their shared target audience of 18-25 year olds. The author made some adjustments based on peer feedback, such as moving elements on the cover and contents page for improved visibility and professionalism. The summary provides an overview of the key points made in the original lengthy document.
Evaluation question 1
This document discusses the layout and design conventions used in the media product of a magazine. It summarizes the successful conventions and areas for improvement on the front cover, contents page, and double page spread layouts.

The double page spread features a large singular image covering both pages with the interview text fitting around it. Columns are used to break up the text for younger readers. Questions are highlighted in blue to stand out. Areas

Evaluation question 2
The document discusses the effectiveness of combining a film poster and magazine cover for promoting a crime film. It analyzes how both the poster and magazine cover use similar images of the main character in a suit, with a gun, reflecting the crime genre. Both include the film's stars and production companies to attract audiences. The poster and magazine also share a color scheme of orange/yellow. Positive reviews on the poster further encourage audiences. Overall, the document argues that the poster and magazine complement each other well in promoting the film through their consistent imagery and details related to the crime genre.
Evaluation question 3
The student learned the following from audience feedback on their magazine and poster:
- The print tasks met genre conventions according to most feedback. However, the poster tagline was not effective for some and needed changing.
- The backgrounds used were suitable according to all feedback.
- The magazine cover lines were not very appealing and were moved to increase appeal.
- The main images were appealing to all feedback.
- While the magazine cover was not appealing to most, changes to cover lines and added material should increase its charm.
- The film poster was appealing to all feedback, though the tagline needs changing as mentioned earlier.
Todorovs theory
Todorov's theory is used to analyze the stages of a crime film called "The Informant". The stages include:
1) Equilibrium: shown through childhood friends Ronnie and Harry playing football together.
2) Disruption: when Detective Wilson confronts Ronnie with information and offers for him to become a police informant.
3) Realization: the mob realizes they have a mole as their operations are being busted by police.
4) Restored order: Harry agrees to help his friend Ronnie deal with the situation, taking down what they built.
5) New equilibrium: Ronnie and Harry start their own gang to establish a new set of rules.
Shot list full
The document outlines 39 shots from a film scene depicting a fight between friends Ronnie and Harry. Shot 1 establishes kids playing football in a park. In shot 5, Ronnie gets in a fight after being tackled, which Harry breaks up. Later shots show Ronnie and Harry entering a pub to meet their boss and being praised. Photos are then shown revealing their criminal activities, straining their friendship. Later shots depict the friends arguing in a parking lot which leads to a physical altercation where they attack each other until Ronnie knocks Harry unconscious.
Shot list
The document outlines 17 shots for a scene involving characters Ronnie and Harry. Shot 1 shows Ronnie distressed in a mob office. Shot 2 shows him looking up as mobsters speak to him. Shot 3 shows him standing and punching a wall. Shots 4-10 depict Ronnie and Harry talking tensely in a parking lot. Shot 11 shows a detective investigating at a police station. Shot 12-16 show Ronnie and Harry fighting in the parking lot, with Ronnie ultimately knocking Harry out. Shot 17 shows an unconscious Harry tied to a chair in Ronnie's house.
Script the infromant 2
1. Ronnie and Harry get into a fight while playing football as children. Harry tries to diffuse the situation and take Ronnie home.
2. As adults, Ronnie and Harry deliver a briefcase of drugs to a mobster at a pub as part of their criminal activities.
3. Detectives confront Harry at his home and threaten to imprison him for life unless he becomes a police informant against Ronnie's criminal organization. Reluctantly, Harry agrees to help the detectives.
Black mass analysis
The trailer uses lighting, editing, cinematography, and text to build tension around Johnny Depp's character Whitey Bulger. Scenes shift between well-lit conversations and dark, shadowy scenes to show Whitey's friendly and threatening sides. Precise editing maintains pace without revealing the plot, and close-ups after violence leave viewers questioning how justice will be served. Only a few title cards emphasize that the story is based on a true notorious gangster.
Goodfellas analysis
The Goodfellas trailer uses costume, lighting, cinematography, editing, and sound to set the tone and provide context. Costume shows the characters' wealth and profession. Lighting remains high key except for one low key scene showing secrecy. Cinematography uses pan shots to show fast action and the environment. One shot of Joe Pesci firing at the audience references a classic film. The trailer has three acts that change the feel through Henry Hill's narration and era-appropriate music to demonstrate the progression of time and the characters.
Film trailer script complete 2
Ronnie and Harry get into a fight with bullies as children. As adults, they work for a criminal organization, but Harry becomes a police informant to avoid jail time. This puts him at odds with his friend Ronnie, who sees it as betrayal. As Harry continues providing information to the police, the criminal organization faces losses and setbacks. The trailer shows the growing tension between Harry and Ronnie escalating into physical violence and threats, with Harry's life in danger as a result of his decision to turn informant.
Script draft 1
Ronnie is the head of a mob that has lost another drug deal and two members, Joey and Conor. In frustration over the failed deal, Ronnie punches a wall. Detective Richard Wilson is struggling to make progress on his case against the mob. Ronnie and Harry then get into a fist fight in a parking lot that ends with Ronnie knocking Harry unconscious. Later, at Ronnie's house, a bound and bruised Harry has a gun held to his head by Ronnie.
Evaluation question 5
The document discusses how the magazine attracts its audience. It uses a red and gold color scheme throughout to relate to rock music. The skyline advertises free posters inside to incentivize purchases. The front cover features a model looking directly at the camera to create a connection with readers and entice them to learn more about his story. The main headline introduces intrigue about the model's past, present and future. A sticker also promotes a free CD insert, adding value compared to other magazines.
Evaluation question 2
This document discusses how social groups are represented in the author's music magazine. The magazine targets middle and lower class males aged 15-25, who are the primary audiences for similar rock magazines. Photos in the magazine represent this group through clothing, poses, and props associated with rock music. The featured artist is presented as a grungy rocker through his dark clothing, beanie, and serious expression in posed photos. His crossed arms imply dominance, fitting the often male-dominated rock genre. Poses and a guitar further enhance his image as a rock artist who tells fans what to think.
Evaluation question 5
The document discusses how the magazine attracts its audience. It uses a red and gold color scheme throughout to relate to rock music. The skyline advertises free posters inside to entice purchases. The front cover model looks directly at the camera to create a connection with readers and intrigue them to learn more about his story. The main headline poses questions about his life to generate interest in reading more. A free CD sticker adds another unique selling point to encourage people to buy the magazine for extras without paying more.
Evaluation question 1
This document summarizes the key elements of a mock rock music magazine the author created for a class assignment. The summary includes:
The masthead "Plectrum" was chosen to represent the genre and is displayed in a rugged font. A color scheme of red, gold, and black was selected.
The cover features a model challenging conventions by lacking tattoos but dressing appropriately in a white t-shirt and black hoodie.
Inside, the contents page layout and repeated use of the masthead and colors maintain consistency. A double-page spread tells the artist's backstory rather than a typical Q&A.
Homefront trailer
The Homefront trailer includes around 150 shot changes to show off the plot and entice viewers. It depicts 6 different settings that provide context about the characters and their environment. Key props like guns, a baseball bat, and crystal meth appear constantly to convey the action genre. The main characters, played by Jason Statham and James Franco, change costumes several times to indicate the story takes place over a longer period of time. Along with dialogue, the trailer features music, gun sounds, explosions, and punch effects that change 4 times to build tension and pace the action scenes. Text includes the title, actors' names, and credits to promote the big-name cast and entice viewers to watch. Special effects like explosions and crashes keep
Audience research
This document discusses researching the target audience for a film. It notes that the crime and thriller genres typically attract different demographic groups. For a crime-thriller film, the target audience would be ages 15-35 to include fans of both genres. Both men and women are likely to be interested in a crime-thriller, as the genre provides suspense for men and mysteries for women to ponder. Considering elements like content, actors, and genre is important to determine which groups will be drawn to the film.
Todorovs theory
The document summarizes Todorov's theory of narrative structure through the plot points of an organized crime film. It describes the equilibrium as the main characters Ronnie and Harry playing football as boys, showing their lifelong friendship. The disruption occurs when Detective Wilson confronts Ronnie with information only an insider would know, blackmailing him into becoming a police informant. The realization happens as the mob's operations are busted and they learn of the mole. Order is restored when Harry agrees to help Ronnie by taking down the criminal organization. A new equilibrium emerges with Ronnie and Harry starting their own gang with fairer rules to prevent further disruption.
Barthe’s hermeneutic code
The document discusses Barthe's Hermeneutic Code, which refers to unexplained elements in a story that raise questions for the reader. Most films answer these questions at the end to maintain audience engagement. The code is especially noticeable in crime/detective genres, which lead audiences through clues and misdirection before revealing the criminal.
The response proposes three enigmas for a film trailer: 1) Referencing a mob boss without showing him to build fear and anticipation, 2) A mysterious gunshot leaving the shooter and target unknown, 3) Keeping a character's past secret but implying it threatens him. It says the mob boss and gunshot perpetrator will be revealed, while the character's past will remain
Oceans eleven trailer analysis
The trailer uses various costumes to characterize the main character Mr. Ocean, showing him in a prison uniform at first to indicate his criminal past, and later in a suit in an expensive restaurant to show that he is now wealthy. It also shows the traditional robbers' outfits of black clothes and gloves. The characters are portrayed in a lighthearted and humorous way to develop a connection with the audience. Long shots are used during action scenes to immerse the viewer, while close-ups introduce the starring actors to market the film. The music and dialogue create tension and clarify the characters' discussion. Despite consistent shot lengths, the fast-paced music creates a sense of urgency for the heist.

Prelim reflection
- 1. The three main strengths of my magazineare the masthead, the main image and the cover lines. The areas of improvementwereidentified to be the cover lines. This is dueto the fact that they could have been worded differently to bringa moreprofessional feel to the magazine and may help in what the target audiencewantto read as they are mainly studentswho are completing their A levels. However, the font style and positioningof the texts can be kept the same as they are effective in graspingthe reader’sattention. I do agree with the assessment of peer as he has outlined what can be improved on my magazinecover and how I can make it seem more professional. He has also given mean insight into what my target audience actually wantto read and what interests them. If I had to re submit the task, I would change the wordingof the cover lines so that I can makethem seem moreprofessionaland so that they interest the target audiencemuchmore. I would also change the positioningof my main image and lower it down the page. This is so that it is not obstructing my masthead as my magazine is not a well-known magazineand may confusepeopleif they saw it on display. Yes I do believe that the feedback has been constructiveand helpfulas it has enabled meto see what needs improvingand what the improvements will affect in the way in which my audiencesee the magazine.
