It also outlines typical conventions of the pop genre that the video and digital content will relate to.

Indie rock music videos typically have low budgets and feature settings that are easily accessible like studios, cities, and parks. They often focus heavily on live performances of the artist to showcase their musical talent and passion. More recently, some indie rock music videos have started including additional narrative elements mixed with live performances to give more depth and engage viewers. Effective editing that matches the pace of the music can help create atmosphere and tell a story. Common visual effects include black and white tones to give videos an old, retro feel.

Influences of music style
Social issues are an important influence for indie and rock bands, with bands using their music to raise awareness of issues like war, crime, and violence. Technology also influences the genre, allowing bands to incorporate various effects and editing techniques in their music videos to enhance the artistic experience. While fashion has some impact on indie and rock styles, the influence is less than genres like pop, where artists closely follow trends in their music videos. Teenagers are strongly influenced by the fashions and attitudes of their music idols, and music overall can shape moral standards and cultural changes between generations.

Iconic pop artists that emerged included The Beatles, who influenced generations with their melodies and harmonies. More recently, pop stars like Justin Bieber, Adele, Troye Sivan, and Demi Lovato dominate the radio and public consciousness.

The reflection expresses interest in hosting an in-store event like a performance or listening party to promote a local indie artist's album through Wooden Tooth.

She cites Kate Bush's rare appearances on MOJO covers as inspiration.
Task 4 Ke
Kerrang! began as a one-time issue in 1981 focusing on heavy metal music like AC/DC. Due to high demand, it became a monthly magazine published by Bauer Media. Originally focusing on thrash metal and glam rock, Kerrang! adapted to grunge in the 1990s and nu metal in the 2000s. When nu metal declined, Kerrang! shifted to emo and metalcore, receiving criticism for moving with trends. Now Kerrang! covers various rock genres to appeal broadly without tension between groups, though some criticize its promotion of bands like Black Veil Brides.
Q5
The document provides tips for attracting an audience to a magazine cover and contents page through design elements. These include using bold colors, titles, and images to catch the eye, highlighting specific words and changing font sizes and colors to make certain information stand out. Strategically placing elements and adding strokes or borders around photos, titles, and text helps elements stand out against backgrounds without being overwhelmed.
Question one
The document discusses how the media product uses, develops, and challenges conventions of real media products. It summarizes that the product uses typical conventions like mastheads, cover lines, barcodes/pricing, and central images. However, it challenges conventions by using affordable clothing styles and a busy background image on the double page spread. Developments include thinner mastheads, consistent fonts, and secondary artist images on the contents page.
Evaluation q.3
Bauer Media would be a suitable company to distribute Motown Magazine as they have experience distributing similar music magazines like MOJO. Bauer Media is Europe's largest privately owned publishing group, distributing over 230 magazines across 15 countries. They reach over 19 million UK adults through their wide range of magazines, websites, TV and radio stations. Their strategy is to connect diverse audiences through high-quality, multi-platform brand content.

2. Conventions for music magazine design include mastheads, covers with images and text, contents pages with genres and page numbers, and spreads with headlines, images, and columns. Consistent branding connects different sections.
3. Research on house music found it popular in clubs and mainstream music, having fused with other genres. Images typically feature bright colors, busy crowds, and locations to convey atmosphere.

Q2
This document discusses how a magazine represents particular social groups in its target audience. The magazine targets males and females aged 18-23 who are interested in various music genres. While the target social class is higher, the magazine is priced affordably. The magazine aims to appeal to both genders by incorporating stereotypical colors for males and females. It features a variety of artists from different genres on the cover to attract people in the target 18-23 age range.
Q.2 how does your media product represent particular
The document discusses representing a target social group of hip hop dancers in a magazine. It summarizes how the front cover uses images of people in hip hop style clothing and headphones to represent the group. The fonts, colors and baggy clothing of the model are also meant to symbolize the loud and bold personalities of the dancers.

Feedback from a focus group and survey showed that the magazine's style clearly represented the hip hop orientation and target social group.
Question three
IPC media is a large UK publisher that distributes magazines like NME, though its genre may not match the document's magazine. IPC's Look and Now magazines could be a good fit. InterMedia Partners distributes magazines like Vibe that would likely match the genre and audience of the document's magazine. As InterMedia has successfully marketed Vibe, they could effectively distribute the magazine.

Kerrang Magazine targets a male audience aged 16-25 who enjoy rock, punk, grunge and indie music. The November 2012 front cover features 30 Seconds to Mars. Methods used to attract the target audience include bold colors of red and black, a strong pose from the artist that relates to the sell line, and capital bold text throughout. The magazine was founded in 1981 and initially focused on heavy metal but has since expanded its genres to include emo and metalcore to match music trends.
Possible ideas for my magazine
I like the layout and color schemes of the potential magazine covers, contents pages, and spreads shown. The covers emphasize their target audiences through bold colors. The contents pages feature large, attention-grabbing images and interesting layouts. The spreads use multiple images to attract readers and tell stories. Overall, the visual design elements appear professional and well-thought out.

The document analyzes two double page spreads from NME magazine.
[1] The first spread features an interview with Dizzee Rascal. It uses graffiti as a backdrop to link him to the grime music scene. The article discusses Dizzee Rascal's progression from his origins in the streets to mainstream success over the past year.
[2] The second spread features Johnny Marr, former guitarist of The Smiths. It analyzes how the repeated solo images of Marr reinforce the theme of the Smiths' music appealing to lonely people. The article is written in an informal interview style where Marr speaks casually, linking him to his working class roots and the target NME audience.

1) The front cover of the student magazine mimics conventions of professional magazines like Cosmopolitan, including a masthead, cover lines, and positioning images using the rule of thirds.
2) The contents page also resembles Cosmopolitan's by categorizing different sections and using a column layout. The main differences are in ordering and relating images to the topic.
3) The document then lists stages of developing the magazine using specific software like Photoshop and InDesign.
Contents page analysis
The document analyzes the layout and design features of two magazine contents pages:
1) NME (Sept 2009) - Features a large image, masthead at top, date, listings of bands and pages in red, and contact information. The layout is designed to attract younger readers.
2) Classic FM (December 2007) - Features multiple smaller images due to higher price point. Masthead and date are small and in the corner to suit more reserved, older readers. Contents headings are formal in red. Overall design keeps a formal style for this audience.

Supersizeme media essay done
Morgan Spurlock's 2004 documentary "Supersize Me" documented the negative health effects of eating only food from McDonald's for 30 days. By eating three meals a day from McDonald's, Spurlock gained 24.5 pounds and his cholesterol increased. The film highlighted America's growing obesity problem, with 1 in 3 children in Mississippi facing obesity. It also showed that many schools were banning unhealthy foods in response. While the film had some positive impacts, it also represented some Americans as lazy for using diet pills instead of making lifestyle changes.

The contents page also follows conventions like listing the "Contents" at the top, featuring a main image relating to the cover story, including the editor's letter, and titles/subtitles of articles. However, one double page spread was made to look more unconventional with a slanted diagonal line separating the image and article. The article also uses an interview format with questions in red and answers in black. Continuity is created through consistent colors, images and styles.
