While most elements follow conventions, the creator notes the contents page could have been designed more cohesively.
The document summarizes how the student's music magazine front cover and content pages use, develop, or challenge conventions of real music magazines. For the front cover, the student followed conventions like using a band banner and center image but challenged conventions with text placement. For content pages, the student used a layout inspired by NME but challenged conventions with formal elements and rearranging some sections. The goal was to appeal to an intended audience of older indie/rock music fans.
The magazine uses and develops conventions of real indie magazines through its minimalist design, simple color palette, and representation of the artists. The title, layout, and fonts follow conventions seen in magazines like Clash to create a recognizable product for its audience. Photographs feature the artists in relaxed, understated poses and clothing reflective of the indie genre. While some elements like placement of images and masthead differ from typical conventions, the overall design develops conventions to effectively represent and market the indie band to its target audience.

The document provides an evaluation of the student's own music magazine production. It discusses various ways the magazine uses and develops conventions of real music magazines. This includes using a longer word for the masthead to fit the indie genre, positioning the cover model to turn pages, and including typical magazine elements like barcodes and prices. Formats like the contents page and double-page articles are analyzed against magazines like NME. The target audience is identified as women aged 16-23 interested in indie music and style. The student concludes that IPC Media, which distributes NME, would be a suitable institution to publish the magazine due to the similar audience demographics and conventions used.

This document provides an analysis of the student's music magazine project. It discusses several ways the magazine uses and develops conventions of real music magazines. It describes using "Eclectic" for the masthead to represent different indie music styles. Photos and layout follow conventions like large cover images and placing essential details in the bottom right. Color schemes and fonts were inspired by magazines like NME and Q. Inside pages imitate NME's layout with images, columns, and pull quotes. A double page spread uses a title at the top and 3 column layout like NME. The magazine aims to represent young female musicians and portray the main artist as having interests in photography, art, and fashion to inspire its target audience of women aged 16

This document summarizes how the media product of an indie music magazine front cover, contents page, and double page spread uses and develops conventions of real music magazines while also challenging some conventions. The front cover takes inspiration from magazines like NME and Clash with its masthead design, prominent band image, and use of color. However, it challenges conventions by centering some text. The contents page follows conventions with its masthead, images, and section divisions, but challenges some by adding background to page numbers. The double page spread keeps the color scheme and uses images and highlighted text as is conventional, but challenges conventions through its use of contrasting colors.
The magazine challenges conventions by placing cover lines on the opposite side and using larger writing underneath in smaller text. The masthead is dominating and spread across the top like NME. The main image covers the masthead and conveys the magazine's genre.
The contents page uses a rhetorical question instead of just "contents" and pictures are framed like polaroids to look authentic. A band index like NME makes the magazine look information dense.
The double page spread repeats the band's title font and uses a large main image overlapping the title. The interview uses red and black text to break up information and introduce the band.
The magazine represents younger music fans ages 14-20 interested in indie/rock
The document summarizes the process of creating a magazine called "Amplify" focusing on indie/rock music. Key details include following conventions of similar magazines like NME, including features such as artist quotes and photos. While adopting many conventions, some choices break conventions such as not including a band index or magazine subscription advert. The target audience is identified as 16-25 year olds of both genders interested in music. Distribution through an experienced publisher like IPC or a specialist like Rhinegold is considered.
This document discusses how the student's media magazine product uses and develops conventions from real magazines like NME.
The title, images, people featured, fonts, and written content generally conform to conventions of indie magazines. The title, artists' photos and attitudes, and fonts used help suggest the magazine's music genre.
While some elements like the main model's pose on the cover challenge conventions slightly, other aspects like her style of dress and the layouts of the front cover, contents page, and spreads follow conventions. The contents page specifically aims to conform to NME's style but includes more photos, developing that convention.
The document summarizes the key aspects of an underground magazine created for a media studies assignment. It discusses conventions used and challenged in the magazine's design, such as cover lines, mastheads, images, and barcodes. Social groups represented include young people aged 14-20 interested in indie/rock music. A double page spread on a band called "The Pretty Suicides" uses different text colors and includes photos and a quote. The gender portrayed is strong, dominant teenage girls rather than stereotypical quiet ones. IPC Media is suggested as a suitable distributor since it produces magazines like NME that the underground magazine is similar to. The target audience is described as those who read magazines aimed at people interested in pop culture and
The document summarizes how the media product uses and challenges conventions of real music magazines. It analyzes each element of the front cover and contents page, describing how conventions are used or challenged for things like the masthead, sell line, images, columns, and page numbers. For example, the masthead challenges conventions by using a unique cut-out effect, while the sell line uses a common convention but differentiates it with italics. Overall, the document shows an understanding of magazine conventions and thoughtfully discusses how the media product both adheres to and innovates beyond typical conventions for music magazines.
The document summarizes how the media product uses, develops, and challenges conventions of real music magazines. It analyzed the front cover and contents page of NME magazine to identify codes and conventions. For its own indie/rock magazine called "Riff", it strived to follow conventions such as the masthead, coverlines, and sections on the contents page. However, it also challenged conventions by adding a second large photo on the cover and including a band index on the contents page. The document discusses each design decision and compares it to conventions from NME.
Theorists and how they relate to my material:holbeau
The document summarizes several media theories relating to representation, narrative, audience, and ideology. It discusses key concepts from theorists such as Levi Strauss, Laura Mulvey, John Berger, Tessa Perkins, Richard Dyer, and others. The document also relates each theory to the creator's own music video, explaining how concepts around binary opposites, male gaze, stereotypes, and more are relevant to the themes and story presented in the video.
The document discusses what the author learned from their preliminary magazine cover task to the final magazine product. They realized conventions like headers, selling lines, and prices are important to include to make the magazine look more professional. Unused conventions on the preliminary cover like headers and prices detracted from its quality. For the final product, the author aimed to conform to conventions like mastheads, dates, and barcodes. They also gained experience with design software and received feedback to improve the final magazine cover.
The document describes the process of creating a double page spread from first draft to final version. It involves image manipulation using selection and smudge tools to clean up jagged edges. The spread includes an artist name and title, a quote, introductory text, bylines, the article text, social media links, and feedback. The creator was advised to add page numbers for convention and decrease the prominence of social media plugs compared to the article text. Issues with wrapping text around an image leg will also be addressed when making future changes.
The document discusses changes made to a magazine's contents page based on feedback. It was advised to change the font to conform to the house style used throughout the magazine. The original color scheme made the font hard to read against the dark background. The font was changed to 'Mistral' for continuity with a double page spread, and the maroon tone was lightened to improve readability against the dark background.
This document outlines the production process for a magazine cover from initial photo shoots through revisions and feedback. It includes taking photos, selecting and editing images, adding design elements like mastheads and barcodes. The first draft received feedback suggesting alternating fonts for cover lines to appear more professional, adjusting the barcode size, and potentially filling blank space. Revisions were made to fonts, dates, and other elements before a final cover was completed.

This particular SlideShare highlights the key aspects of technology used throughout the process of the creation of my promotional package consisting of a promotional music video, digipak and promotional poster in combination with one another.
The document describes the steps taken to update a music poster based on feedback. It details how the artist copied a panel from their digipak to maintain continuity. It then explains how they blacked out the artist's face, changed the background color to maroon, added text stating the release date as "out now", and included more social media information to promote the artist. The updated poster incorporated this feedback to make the design more appealing and informative for audiences.
This document lists potential images for a front cover, contents page, and departmental profile sheet (DPS) but provides no details on the actual images or their purpose. It appears to be an incomplete draft listing where images could be included but without specifying the images themselves.
Images were taken of an unknown subject, with 4 total photos being captured to document an event or object. Brief imagery was recorded without providing context on the purpose, content, or nature of the pictures in a concise photographic documentation.
The document discusses problems with photographs taken for a magazine. It notes poor lighting, unwanted objects in shots, and large shadows around the model. This made editing difficult and brought down the overall quality and professionalism of the images. To address these issues, the photographer plans to reshoot the images with better lighting in the studio, clear backgrounds, and attention to framing shots without unnecessary inclusions.
The peer feedback provided suggestions to improve the magazine cover drafts:
1. Use a close-up portrait to show emotion and make eye contact with the audience. Include a visible price and use different font styles creatively.
2. Show more work leading up to the cover design. The pictures lack professionalism and the magazine looks empty without a color scheme. Make the masthead bigger and try a different font.
3. The blog research and draft ideas were good but the cover seems bland without more effects on the writing or an enlarged barcode and distinct price and date.
4. The blog research quality was high but the cover is lacking a date, title, price and headline to make it
The document discusses various techniques used in magazine contents pages to attract potential buyers. It notes that including a band index allows readers to see if there are artists they like featured. Subscriptions are promoted to save money while enjoying recurring issues. Images of upcoming content and arrows directing readers further entice people to purchase the magazine by implying more interesting articles are inside.
I have created a PowerPoint presentation highlighting areas where my music product could be promoted, including a promotional package showing different advertising options and their effectiveness. I believe professionally promoting my product in areas like YouTube, VEVO, iTunes, music magazines, and music stores will increase views, popularity, and sales by targeting audiences interested in pop rock music.
I created a SlideShare to show the first draft of each element of the ancillary text both within the digipak and as separate elements. The promotional poster is also included.
I took a variety of images from google of different digipak and analysed particular elements of each, stating how these would link to my product and influence its production.
This document discusses sources of inspiration for an album cover from various existing album covers. The writer intends to take elements from the covers of Tom Odell and Justin Timberlake. For Tom Odell's cover, the writer likes the simplicity and the road in the background to represent the character's journey. For Justin Timberlake's cover, a blindfold is noted as unusual but could represent love blinding the character. Elements like suits, blindfolds, and close-up shots may be incorporated to represent themes of formality, love, and empathy in the character's situation.
This is a SlidShare created to show the conventions of a typical Pop Rock digipak. Despite the fact that this pack is based on a band as opposed to an individual artist, I still chose to analyse it due to the fact that it makes me more aware of conventions within this genre and i am able to adapt a particular element to suit my situation if something was to appeal to me.
1. Q1.) In what ways does your media product use, develop or
challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
Before beginning the creation of my magazine I researched several magazines to gain inspiration and acknowledge
the typical codes and conventions which relate to different aspects of a magazine in order for it to be successful.
Throughout my magazine I aimed to maintain a particular house style which consisted of the colours:
grey, black, yellow and white. By using this on each element of my music magazine I created continuity, giving my
magazine an identity which can be easily recognised. The same fonts were also used throughout the magazine as
this follows conventions and makes it look a lot more professional regarding the layout and format of the
magazine.
2. Q1.) In what ways does your media product use, develop or
challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
I decided to experiment with a variety of fonts which
gave me a wide variety to choose from when deciding
which to use for my final piece.
The font I decided on was ‘Gill Sans MT Condensed’
I felt as though this fitted well with the genre of my
magazine and the desired look I was going for. After
looking at other magazines such as NME/ MOJO I
realised that the fonts are fairly straight edge and bold
which is where my inspiration came from.
Initially I came up with 4 potential colour schemes, the one
I decided to go for was black, white and grey. Later on in
the production I decided to introduce a fourth colour
(yellow) to break up the darkness of the magazine and
contrast with the duller colours such as grey and black.
Although my music magazine is based around the indie
rock/pop rock genre which can be grungy, I thought it
would be good to incorporate another colour to make it
seem a lot more light-hearted as opposed to constantly
melancholy.
3. Q1.) In what ways does your media product use, develop or
challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
I used NME’s Florence and the Machine issue for part of my initial inspiration. I
liked the conventional, bold masthead which I decided to carry through and use
on my magazine. Although, I decided to go against conventions in relation to
the fact that I located it on the right hand side as opposed to the left hand side.
Similarly to the NME issue, I also placed my slogan ‘THE MAGAZINE WITH A
BEAT’ underneath the main masthead, with the date line featured below, this
is done to create front cover which would be considered as conventional within
the music industry.
I also used the left third for the main source of tag lines, this is a clear
convention of music magazines and is shown in the Rolling Stone issue below.
The image of my artist also overlaps the masthead slightly, this accentuates the
importance of the artist in relation to the fact that their prominence is more
important than the masthead itself. This effect is also shown in the Rolling
Stone issue as Brad Pitt is seen in front of the text, showing he is the main focus
of the magazine; allowing us to understand that he is he main feature. - similar
to my magazine ‘BEAN’ is featured in front of the masthead as she is the main
focus of my magazine, the main story revolves around her.
‘Q’ magazine featuring Adele is also another magazine I researched which is
similar to the other two magazines in the sense that they each use a medium
close up as their main image, in relation to camera framing, this is where my
music magazine refutes the conventions of a music magazine. This is due to the
fact I decided to use a long shot, I chose this as I felt as though it fitted the vibe
of the magazine better. The whole idea of the feature story is the fact that
‘BEAN’ is struggling in the music industry, I feel as though this pose connotes
this idea.
4. Q1.) In what ways does your media product use, develop or
challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
After researching several music magazine contents page’s, my main inspiration came
from NME’s music magazine in relation to the fact that it is blocked into different
categories through the use of several subtitles, this makes it easier for the reader to
find a particular article they are interested in. I decided to include and editors note as,
although it is not included in NME, I thought it was a convention which would be good
to include. It makes the magazine appear a lot more personal to the editor and
creates a relationship between both the editor and audience.
I also included the masthead once again on the left hand side of the page to create
continuity throughout the magazine, this makes the magazine easily recognisable to
the readers and maintains the house style. This is a convention taken from various
magazines including the NME magazine below.
A ‘subscribe’ option is also included in my contents page which is another convention
of music magazines as seen on the NME contents. This helps lure in potential
customers to purchase the monthly magazines at a discount. This is helpful as my
magazine revolves around students, which will not have mass amounts of disposable
income.
I also conformed to the conventions of a music magazine in relation to the fact that
my magazine includes a variety of pictures relating to the articles on particular pages,
the captions located next to the image also give the reader an insight into the article
within it. This technique is also shown on the NME magazine of which most of my
inspiration came from. Although, it was adapted to suite my particular genre and
ideas behind the magazine better.
5. Q1.) In what ways does your media product use, develop
or challenge forms and conventions of real media
products?
Once again the main inspiration for my music magazine double page
spread came from the source of NME – their article of Florence and The
Machine.
In this article I particularly liked the background of the image made up
of the text ‘USA’, so I decided to recreate it into my own using the name
of my artist; ‘BEAN’. The reason for using 3 images of my artist from
different perspectives connotes the idea that she is fully exposed within
this interview – we see her from every angle.
I also followed conventions in relation to my double page spread
through the use of a standfirst to give a vague introduction to the artist,
and the article on the page.
I then used a drop can to once again reinforce conventions of the
double page spread regarding the article. The article was then
separated in blocks of white and grey to make it clear which part is the
question, and which is the answer. A credit line was also put in
regarding the model, and who the images and article belong to.
Page numbers were also included at the bottom of the page, sticking to
the colour scheme, to maintain continuity throughout my magazine.
The page numbers also related to the articles shown on the contents
page which reinforces the continuity throughout the magazine.
