Dp spread analysis
This document contains reviews of two different double page spreads - one for the band My Chemical Romance and one for an unspecified band. The reviews note positive aspects like well-laid out columns and good pictures capturing the essence of the bands. Negative aspects included inconsistent background colors, images not being big enough, and small hard-to-read page numbers. Colors, layout, pictures and readability were some of the criteria used to evaluate the effectiveness of the spreads.
Contents page
The contents page has a clean and well-balanced design with coordinated colors, fonts, and sizes. A limited color palette of red and grey is used, with red highlighting important elements like page numbers. Two pictures are featured - a large black and white image and a smaller color one linked to a magazine feature. Imagery is heavily used throughout to grab readers' attention and help them visualize the magazine's content. While one side has a large picture creating a slight imbalance, the black and white photo does not overly distract. A mix of serif and sans serif fonts in different sizes and colors helps the layout flow smoothly and avoids difficult reading.
Music Magazine Advertisement
The document describes the 8 step process taken to design a music magazine advertisement. It begins with selecting a black and white photo of London skyline and inverting the colors. Text is then added for the band and album name in red impact font. Lines are drawn over the text to make it stand out less. The album cover is added in black and white and outlined in white. "Out now" text is centered in messy handwritten style. The release date is added in a smaller numeric font. A red line is added across the bottom with the tracklist above in small red font.

This double page spread features an article about British rapper Dizzee Rascal. The main image shows Dizzee Rascal holding a spray paint can in front of a wall covered in graffiti tags. The image and article title "From Tags To Riches" reference Dizzee's origins in graffiti art. The typography uses a common sans serif font in black text on a white background for easy readability. The house style maintains a simple color scheme of black and white to avoid visual distraction. A drop capital is used at the start of the article to draw attention and add visual interest.
Double page spread analysis
The document summarizes the layout and design elements of a magazine page profile on British rapper Dizzee Rascal. The title is informal in style to match the subject. Dizzee is pictured graffiti tagging, reflecting his origins and rise to success. Imagery includes a graffiti background, alcohol bottles, and Dizzee in a flashy coat, creating a representation of him as a slightly rebellious figure. The language used in the article is informal with slang to connect with Dizzee Rascal's target audience.
Digipak feedback
The document provides feedback on a digipak design. It notes that the photography and color scheme portray the band well but that some photos could be edited more clearly. The font captures the band's style but may not match the website. Overall, the design effectively represents the band and fits their image, though some silhouettes hide identities and there is limited text. Grades for different sections range from level 1 to 2-6.
Digipak analyses 2
This document analyzes the digipak for Mumford and Sons' album "Sigh No More".
The front cover uses an unconventional rule of thirds composition to portray the indie genre through the band's clothing and vintage shop window backdrop. The inside continues the black and white color scheme and font to maintain continuity. Individual portraits of each band member in a "window frame" emphasizes their uniqueness and importance to the group.
The back cover contrasts black text against a white background for legibility. It reuses iconography from the front like the window and colors. The song list placement is atypical but avoids a cramped layout. References to specific song titles like the album name "Sigh No More"
Mood board
The document discusses plans for a digipak for the band FUR. It will use symbols rather than images to keep the brand simple but compelling. Examples from Led Zeppelin show how symbols can represent individual band members. The document also discusses exploring different fonts to find the best fit and incorporating the band's style of vibrant colors like pink and yellow as highlights with solid black and white as the main colors.

3. Another rounded, unusual font with a pop-punk feel but no link to the song.
4. A handwritten-style font that would make the cover seem more personal but has no clear link to the song or band.

Article page

2) Design elements like sans-serif fonts, technology-inspired fashion photos, and emphasis on contemporary styles and artists reinforce that this genre is very modern and informal.
3) In contrast, the use of a formal serif font on the contents page creates a mode of address that stands out from the rest of the magazine by being more serious in tone. Overall the magazine adopts an informal style

The document discusses the effectiveness of combining images, sound, voiceovers, presenters, gender representation, and titles across a documentary, double-page magazine spread, and radio trailer about the topic of social media. Key points included using the same images, music, voxpops, and experts across all three mediums to maintain consistency and appeal to the target teenage audience. Both female and male perspectives were represented equally.

Pictures and original images are also included to link to articles and sections. The digital magazine replicates features of real magazines to provide a similar user experience.
Task 6 - Evaluation
The document discusses the software and hardware used during the planning and construction stages of a coursework project. During planning, Microsoft PowerPoint was used to create slides that could be embedded on other platforms like blogger. New skills like embedding presentations were learned. More sophisticated presentation software like Powtoon and Emaze were also used. A Canon SLR camera was used to take professional quality photos for a magazine during construction. Adobe Photoshop was used to manipulate images for the magazine cover and contents page, though it had a learning curve. InDesign was used to layout double page spreads, though creating blur effects between pages required some troubleshooting.
Question four and five
The target audience for the media product is teenagers and young adults interested in rock and gothic/emo music and fashion. Both male and female audiences are targeted. The typical target audience member is shown in a video to be a female teenager dressed in black hair and dark clothing, reflecting the style of the genre. The author attracted this audience through the use of dark colors like purple and black in the magazine design, along with some yellow for visual interest, that relate to the rock genre aesthetic and appeal to both male and female readers. Feedback from a focus group provided ideas for colors, the target age range and ethnicity, and an appropriate magazine masthead to attract the intended audience.

Q double page spread
- 1. Basic layout grid- one page is a photo of Dizzee Rascal Columns and positioning- the positioning of the text and images are very clear to read and are presented in a tidy way. Font and type size- the text size is very big so it can be noticed and so we know immediately what the article is going to talk about. The font is simple but it matches to the graffiti on the wall which implies they are related Use of space- this has been used well and there are not any gaps Colours- there is bright colours used on the left page but this is a bad influence on the reader as Dizzee Rascal is a role model to some and he is setting the wrong expression. Use of images- again, the images are setting the wrong impression with the empty beer bottles. Language- the language in the article is formal and is like a newspaper report Overall impression Large letter start of article- drop cap is used to make the article stand out Denotation- the meaning of words Connotation- the meanings of words Mode of address- this is how the media shouts out to the audience Quotations- putting speech into text By line- a line that gives the name of the person who wrote the article
