The author discusses changes made between their preliminary school magazine cover and final product. For the final cover, they used a serif font that was bolded to emphasize the masthead over the softer sans-serif font used preliminarily. Layout and design were also improved, with the masthead standing out significantly compared to the first example. Images were chosen to portray the magazine's genre and attitude rather than just featuring a normal school pupil. Conventions of magazine design like organization and fonts were prioritized over the preliminary version. Overall, the author learned to use software programs effectively and the level of work required to produce a full magazine for major media companies.

Q7
The masthead and layout of the final magazine cover differed significantly from the preliminary school magazine. The final masthead stands out prominently and uses a bold serif font to emphasize dominance, while the preliminary used a softer sans serif font. The final front cover image fills most of the page to connect with audiences, using warm colors and natural light, unlike the preliminary image. The contents page was also improved, using fades and opacity on a large central image rather than two images, and adding graphics to make it more organized and vibrant. Fonts, capitalization, and colors were also changed between versions to create a more professional and consistent house style for the final magazine.
Q7
The document discusses lessons learned from the preliminary task to the final product of a magazine. Specifically, it addresses improvements made in the use of images, color scheme, fonts, and layout. For images, stretching was avoided and a banner was added to fill white space. The color scheme was made more cohesive using a pink and grey palette. Custom fonts replaced basic ones to make the magazine more professional. Finally, the layout was adjusted to make the masthead more prominent than the contents and use a less rigid design.
Contents page construction
1) The document describes the process of designing a contents page for a magazine in Photoshop and InDesign. It discusses choosing colors and icons that match the overall color scheme and style.
2) Sections and elements were added to the page, such as pink bars to clearly divide sections and white bars for consistency and to fill blank spaces. Photos were selected that related to articles.
3) After planning out titles and sections, elements were arranged on the page, including adjusting sizes and columns to fit everything. Numbers and titles were styled for visibility. The final result contained neatly organized and placed elements.

Evaluation Question 7: Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
Magazine textual analysis
This document analyzes and summarizes several magazine covers. Key points include:
1) Magazine covers use bold mastheads, prominent images, and well-positioned text in complementary colors to look professional and catch readers' attention.
2) Main images should highlight important characters and convey meaning through poses, expressions, and props. Backgrounds should relate to the film.
3) Text uses a variety of fonts and sizes strategically to emphasize important information like the title and story. Sell lines are also organized effectively.
4) Simplicity works well, avoiding clutter, while still including necessary details like barcodes. Color schemes and layouts should complement the film's themes.
Image manipulation
The document discusses the process of editing a photo in Photoshop for use on a mock magazine cover. Some of the editing techniques used include spot healing to remove imperfections, adjusting brightness/contrast, adding Gaussian blur, editing color balance and exposure. Creating layers and using an eraser helped apply effects selectively. Aligning the image and choosing a masthead color were also important design decisions. Creating a mock-up in Publisher helped experiment with the overall layout.
Image manipulation (best one)
The document describes the process of editing a photo in Photoshop for a magazine mock cover design. It details using tools like the spot healing brush, Gaussian blur, and adjusting brightness/contrast to remove imperfections and achieve a "soft focus" look while still maintaining definition. Background layers were used with the Gaussian blur to selectively apply effects. Color balance, exposure, and cutting were also adjusted to create a "dark, edgy" aesthetic appropriate for a rock magazine genre. Creating a mock-up in Publisher helped experiment with overall design before the final piece.
Finalcut
The document discusses the design choices made for a horror magazine cover and poster. These included choosing a distressed font to fit the horror genre, using Photoshop effects like drop shadows and outer glows to make the text stand out, adding a smoke effect using varying brush strokes and the liquify tool to make it appear realistic, and editing the actors' skin tones and adding makeup effects in layers to look polished yet realistic. Banners were included for relevance and to invite the audience into the magazine.

Their final front cover and contents page look more polished and professional compared to the preliminary versions.
All screenshots analysed for construction
This document summarizes the progress made on designing magazine pages. It describes editing a stock image, starting to add text to a content page while considering color themes, and improving a content page by adding a background. It also discusses changes made to front covers, including backgrounds, mastheads, colors, and adding a barcode. Finally, it shows the evolution of a double page spread, including changes to a model, fonts, and adding more information.
Template of front cove.. updated
The document describes the process of designing and refining the front cover, contents page, and a double-page spread for a magazine. The designer created templates and tested different designs, positioning, colors, fonts, and images. Feedback was gathered from existing magazines. The final drafts included conventional magazine elements like mastheads, coverlines, barcodes, and consistent styling across pages. The double-page spread was the most challenging but included subheadings, columns, and footer like samples from other magazines.
Comparison between preliminary task and final product
The document compares the layout and design of the author's preliminary magazine draft to the final product. For the front cover, the final version uses the left third of the page to address the target audience, features an attractive color scheme that fits the indie genre, and has a large, bold masthead that stands out. In contrast, the draft front cover did not utilize the left third, had unattractive orange font that was difficult to read, and used inconsistent color schemes. For the contents page, the final version features sub-headings, images accompanying the sections, and a more conventional overall layout, while the draft was bland with only one image. The author learned about using design elements effectively to appeal to the target audience.
4. Production Experiments
The document describes experiments the author conducted to test fonts and layouts for a magazine they are creating. They created mock magazine covers comparing two phones, experimenting with different fonts and title styles. They also did experiments matching the title color to the cover image color, and using contrasting white text on a dark background. Further experiments involved laying out mock double page spreads testing different block and column styles to incorporate images and text. The author reflected that they will likely use the color matching or contrasting title styles from the experiments, and similar inner page layouts, modifying the images and colors, in their final magazine product.
Contents Page Creation Process
The document describes the process of editing a magazine contents page. The author removed black layers that did not match the house colors, changed the background to white for consistency, and altered the font to be more professional and relatable to the target audience based on teacher feedback. Inspired by another rap magazine, the page numbers were displayed in bold Arial font. The main image was imported of an artist on the front cover to be relevant to stories inside. Text and image positioning were adjusted and an editor's note was added in handwriting style to attract users. Finally, the logo was moved to the conventional top right position.
6. Visual Production Reflection
The document describes the process of creating a magazine cover and double page spread. It discusses finding hero images on Google, selecting and sizing four heroes to fill the cover page. A sci-fi font was chosen for the masthead to appeal to the audience. Text was added to the cover and it was adjusted to best fit the target audience. For the double page spread, a Batman photo was used and cut in half to depict conflict across two pages. A filter was applied to make the cartoon and live action images similar. Text was then added including a title, subheading, and top 5 list to complete the spread.

3. Production Experiments (visual)
Tamzin created a magazine cover recreation experiment in Photoshop to learn design conventions. She searched for a background image of a river scene and cut out the featured image of a man fishing from the original magazine. Tamzin added text elements like the masthead, subheadings, and kickers, matching fonts and formatting. She included additional design elements like colored boxes and a simulated barcode. Through iterating on images and text treatments, Tamzin improved readability and contrast on her replica cover. She reflected on conventions she would apply to her final magazine design, like clear hierarchy, alignment, color scheme, and required legal information.
Q5
The document discusses strategies for attracting a 15-25 year old audience to a magazine, including using bold pull quotes from interviews, featuring artists' stories to help readers connect, and employing a serif font as well as drop caps and pull quotes to make the content seem both professional and quirky. It also recommends using social media sites on the cover, a color scheme representing the genre covered, and aiming for a mixed-gender publication to represent both male and female readers.
Q4
The target audience for the magazine Revamp would be teens and people in their early twenties. This age range is suitable because the magazine aims to promote an affordable price of £3. The target audience would contain a mixture of genders and aim to appreciate the mainstream rap music rather than focus on looks. Two profiles are included that exemplify the urban rap genre that is the taste of the target audience. While people's shopping preferences don't define the target audience, some potential shopping locations that could appeal include both charity shops and Urban Outfitters.

Transaction Based Indices Global Real Estate Strategies ARES 2015
This study examines the performance implications of combining direct real estate investments in the UK, Europe, and Asia with global listed real estate securities. The findings show that blending regional direct real estate with a 30% allocation to global listed real estate can enhance absolute returns compared to direct real estate alone. The benefits are seen across different market cycles and regions, though Asian portfolios show less consistent results. Using transaction-based indices rather than appraisal-based indices may better capture the actual benefits of blending by reducing lag effects. Further analysis of risk-adjusted returns is warranted.

Evaluation 7
This document provides a comparison of the preliminary products created by the author for a college magazine assignment versus the final products created for an indie music magazine. For the preliminary products, elements like the masthead, main image, color scheme, plug, fonts, layout, and lack of skyline/footer were basic and unconventional. The final products showed more sophisticated and professional design choices across all elements that better represented the target audience and genre. These included a simpler masthead, improved main image with lighting and posing, coordinated color scheme, more appealing plug placement and design, varied yet cohesive fonts, balanced layout, and addition of a header to grab attention.
7. Evaluation (visual)
The document provides an evaluation of Tamzin Twose's production process for creating an FMP magazine. It discusses research conducted on existing magazine layouts and conventions, planning processes, time management, and technical and aesthetic qualities of the final magazine product. Research on other magazines helped establish conventions but limited original ideas. Planning established the theme and audience but multiple game ideas caused initial uncertainty. Time management and prep work at home allowed sufficient time for polishing. Technical qualities like alignment and consistent color schemes followed conventions. Aesthetic qualities like sizing, spacing and continuity of theme were considered but some elements could be improved.
As evaluation question 7
From their preliminary task to the final production, the author learned several skills that improved the quality of their work. They learned how to properly use camera settings to produce higher quality images and how to effectively edit images. Their research also helped them develop their production to make it more effective for their target audience. Specifically, their masthead, layout, font styles, and images all progressed significantly from being plain and dull to reflecting the intended style and creating a better overall brand experience.

Final evluation 7
Looking back at their preliminary school magazine task, the author feels they have greatly improved their Photoshop skills and the overall design of their magazine covers. Specifically, they have learned to use more eye-catching fonts, effective color schemes, properly sized and aligned images, and cover lines that draw more attention. While their preliminary cover had a simple design with unaligned elements, their final cover shows a wide variety of advanced Photoshop skills to create a much more polished and professional layout. Comparing their preliminary work to the final magazine, the author has clearly enhanced their abilities in photo editing, layout, use of color, and font selection to produce a higher quality product for their target audience.
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
Evaluation draft 7
The student learned significant skills in using Photoshop and magazine design from their preliminary school magazine task to their final product. In their preliminary cover, the font and color scheme were not eye-catching and the cover lines were poorly aligned. However, their final cover had a more effective color scheme that drew attention, well-aligned cover lines, and improved image editing. Their preliminary contents page lacked professionalism with misaligned images of inconsistent sizes and little design elements, whereas their final work showed mastery of layout, formatting and aesthetics. Overall, they improved skills in image editing, cover design, font selection and use of color schemes to create a polished, visually appealing final magazine.
Evaluation
The document discusses improvements made from a preliminary magazine design project to the final project. It notes several key changes: 1) Using a bolder font for the magazine title that stands out more on the page. 2) Improving font selection and layout to ensure fonts are proportional and readable. 3) Adding a main cover line to describe and accompany the main image. 4) Choosing imagery that directly addresses the audience. 5) Arranging pictures on contents pages more professionally and evenly. 6) Including more articles and descriptions. 7) Making the title banner more impactful with additional information. 8) Better balancing colors to represent the magazine style.
Evaluation
The document discusses the codes and conventions of magazine covers and contents pages and evaluates how the author's designs fit or fail to meet these standards. For the cover, some strengths identified are the unique masthead font and color scheme. Some weaknesses are that the main cover line and cover lines are unclear and messy looking. For the contents page, strengths include using the same font styles and colors for consistency, but weaknesses are a lack of headings for sublines and not including an issue number. The author also discusses using a camera, Photoshop and Quark to design the pages and highlights strengths like customizing fonts and layers, but also weaknesses in crowded banners and inconsistent formatting.

like Drake and Jay-Z in order to allow readers to personally identify with them and see them as
representations of people who have achieved success despite coming from similar backgrounds.
Q4
The target audience for the magazine Revamp would be teens and people in their early twenties. This age range is suitable because the magazine aims to promote an affordable price of £3. The target audience would contain a mixture of genders and aim to appreciate the mainstream rap music rather than focus on looks. Two profiles are included that exemplify the urban rap genre that is the taste of the target audience. While people's shopping preferences don't define the target audience, some potential shopping locations that could appeal include both charity shops and Urban Outfitters.
Q7
The author discusses changes made between their preliminary school magazine cover and final product. For the final cover, they used a serif font that was bolded to emphasize the masthead over the softer sans-serif font used preliminarily. Layout and design were also improved, with the masthead standing out significantly compared to the first example. Images were chosen to portray the magazine's genre and attitude rather than just featuring a normal school pupil. Conventions of magazine design like organization and inclusion of graphics were prioritized to make the final product more professional.
Q5
The document discusses strategies for attracting a 15-25 year old audience to a magazine, including using bold pull quotes from interviews, featuring artists' stories to help readers connect, and employing a serif font as well as drop caps and pull quotes to make the content seem both professional and quirky. It also recommends using social media websites prominently on the cover, including a color scheme representing the magazine's genre, and aiming for a mixed-gender audience by representing both male and female stories.

Masthead font styles (3)
The document discusses potential font styles for the masthead of a new rap music magazine. It evaluates the fonts Marsneveneksk, Amsterdam Graffiti, Next Ups, and Philly Sans based on their ability to catch readers' eyes, appeal to the target demographic, convey attitude, and represent the rap genre. The author ultimately selects Next Ups as the final choice because it expresses attitude well while also being easy to read, allowing it to establish brand recognition. Most survey respondents preferred black and white as the masthead colors to connote attitude.
Prop list
Chris Jacobs has created a prop list for a school media project portraying a rap artist. The props include a gold chain, hat, sunglasses, watch, DSLR camera, tripod, and baggy clothing. These props help express the attitude, materialism, and stereotypical fashion associated with rap artists as portrayed on magazine covers.
Survey monkey results
The survey results showed that most participants buy magazines monthly, so the magazine will be released monthly. The survey also showed that music was a popular magazine genre, fitting for a music industry magazine. When asking about cover lines and promotions, "Drake Big Time Player" and a £500 iTunes voucher giveaway were the most popular choices. Based on pricing questions, the magazine will be priced at 99p, lower than competitor JET's £1.99 price. The majority of survey participants preferred a black, red, and white house style. In conclusion, the survey helped inform decisions about the magazine format, content, promotions, pricing, and design.
Audience profile
The document discusses the target audience for a rap music magazine. The target audience is 15-30 years old, focusing on teenagers and young adults. While the magazine will likely appeal more to males due to its focus on rap music and masculine layout styles, the goal is to appeal to a wider audience without focusing on a single gender. The target socio-economic group is working class individuals in categories E, D, and C2 who can relate to artists who have come from similar backgrounds. According to uses and gratifications theory and Maslow's hierarchy of needs, the audience will be able to personally identify with and learn from the magazine in order to improve their status, as rap artists portray in their music. The stereotypical audience

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
