Double page spread sheet for NME magazine Stefana Apopei
The document analyzes the layout and design of a double-page spread in an indie rock music magazine. It describes several design elements used: an A4 photo of the band being featured embracing the magazine's indie style; columns of simple black text on a white background maintaining the indie aesthetic; and a bold black headline font with curvy letters evoking tattoos. Colorful starbursts and the band's name in a white box with black outline are used to draw attention to certain information while still keeping within the magazine's balanced color scheme and appealing to its indie rock audience.
The magazine uses an informal tone and inclusive language like "we" and "you guys" to make readers feel part of a community and engage with the stories on a personal level. Color choices of red, black, and white coincide with the UK flag to appeal to a British audience interested in domestic bands. Coverlines use attention-grabbing phrases and additional band logos to draw readers in and convey a feeling of abundance and exclusivity for the special first edition issue.
The NME magazine challenges stereotypes with its pink and white color scheme, though it aims for a more masculine punk audience. The latest issue features the band Macabees and offers Noel Gallagher tickets, appealing to its punk readers. While the colors are minimalist, the font maintains an entertaining feel for younger audiences.
The document outlines the design elements for the cover of a metal/rock magazine. It will feature a close-up image of a band member making direct eye contact. The large masthead "Destruction" will stand out using shadowed letters. The main coverline "they're back and they're louder than ever!!! Sickened Society" will anchor the image and give prominence to the band name. Additional coverlines, barcode, date, issue number, price, and footer listing interviews and tour dates will also be included following feedback. The color scheme will primarily be black, white and red to suit the genre.
The magazine uses unconventional fonts and imagery to develop its style while maintaining consistency throughout. The "Doonga Slash" font on the cover complements the black and white photo in a casual yet memorable way. Inside, this font and Cooper Black are used consistently for headings, titles, and page numbers to give the magazine a unified theme. Unusual close-up photos add interest for the intended young to middle-aged audience and reflect the contemporary hip-hop genre featured. The artist profile features a relaxed but masked figure, representing the magazine's focus on underground hip-hop artists who value anonymity over commercial branding.
The document discusses how the media product uses, develops, and challenges conventions of real magazines. It follows many conventions: the masthead stretches the page width like real magazines; images are edited to fit the genre and mise-en-scene; cover lines are positioned in the left and right thirds with the main line over the main image. The color scheme uses a typical three color palette to fit the rock genre. The strapline is positioned at the top to grab attention and uses colors from the palette. The only challenge is the double page text, which alternates image and text positioning and uses a question and answer format.

Overall, the magazine drew from genre conventions while adding distinguishing attributes to prevent blending in too much.

Rachael Ejimofor evaluated her final music magazine project. Her front cover both conformed to and challenged conventions by including standard elements but placing the masthead in front of the image. Her contents page used different colored page numbers and topic headings. The double-page spread matched house colors and included photo credits but used quotes instead of sell lines. She distributed the magazine at churches, youth groups, stores and supermarkets to reach her target audience of urban gospel-interested teens and young adults in London. Rachael learned photography, design and formatting skills to improve her magazine from preliminary to final versions.
This document describes a student's media project creating a mock music magazine. The student researched real music magazines in different genres to inform the design of their magazine. They created a front cover with a futuristic style using blue, gray, and white colors. They also included a contents page listing article categories. For the double-page spread, they featured an interview format with quotes to engage readers and included photos of the artist to pique interest in learning more about them. The student drew upon conventions of real music magazines while developing their own designs.
This document summarizes how the author's media product represents particular social groups through its design and content. The author aimed their magazine, called "Vintage Hummingbird", at male and female "indie" and "hipster" young adults aged 18-28. In creating the magazine, the author made assumptions about this target audience based on research - implying they play acoustic music, keep up with fashion trends, and attend music festivals. The author assumes readers will be middle-class individuals living in cities with access to trendy clothing shops. By including fashion content, the author hopes to attract readers who identify as "fashion freaks". Overall, the magazine is designed to appeal to a niche audience through stereotypical depictions
1. Question 1
In what ways does your media product use, develop or
challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
2. My Magazine
“Drop” magazine is a magazine dedicated to electro-house and
death-electro music, however it leads quite a dark and perhaps
punk-ish approach. I personally could not find any magazines that
were produced in a similar fashion, and thus thought that there was
room in the magazine market for what I was offering. I think that
my magazine does have a relatively niche audience, but I do believe
that its readership is made up of quite a range of different types of
people; there’s something there for people who like electronic
music, for people who are into quite grungy, dark genres in general
and even for people who just like to read about the newest music
gossip. When I compared my magazine to that of other electronic
magazines, I noticed that they used serifs that were possibly
slightly more generic and straight to the point, whereas I used a
much more striking and intriguing font to entice my readership.
3. Font And Colour
My magazine, “Drop”, uses a separate font on
the masthead, titles and contents page numbers
in order to connote importance; they particularly
convey themselves to the reader. The font itself
is quite shocking and sharp and from my
research into my target audience, this is what
they wanted to see. My research into other
magazines that are similar to this genre also led
me to believe that using such a striking font on
the more important pieces of text would
immediately entice the reader. I used the colour
white for the text on my front cover as it gave
connotations of being quite slick but also being
very different to other magazines that normally
rely on a white background with different
coloured font. I purposely used a black
background with white font to convey these
ideas of being different and perhaps outcast-ish
as I wanted that to be the message that was put
across to my audience; that it is ok to be
different.
4. How I Challenged Conventions
I challenged the typical conventions of an electronic music magazine by
making it slightly more grungy than normal. I made it much darker and
had a relatively promiscuous looking model on the front cover as well as
surrounding her with articles regarding “exposure” and “death”.
I did this as I wanted it to appeal to a slightly different, if
larger, audience than a generic electronic music magazine does, and I
wanted it to have a different readership. I particularly wanted my
readership to be slightly darker, perhaps gothic, and did this by
incorporating the sub-genre “death-electro” into my magazine. The
connotations of this are quite different to that of a normal electronic
music magazine and this genre is often seen as being much heavier and
much more edgy. I tried to show this on my cover using lots of black
and white as opposed to the traditional bright colours used on an
electronic magazine.
5. How I Used Conventions
I used typical conventions in an
electronic music magazine by following
the general format of their front cover.
This appeared to be having a main
picture taking up the majority of the
space and have it surrounded by
articles, stories and news regarding
particular topics that are of interest to
the average reader of the magazine.
These would include upcoming
tours, interviews with new and old acts
and perhaps gossip on a well known
group. I managed to incorporate all of
these features into my front cover, thus
following the general conventions of an
electronic music magazine. I also
followed the conventions of an
electronic music magazine by setting
out my contents page in two columns
and using quite a colloquial lexis in
order to engage with the reader. I used
first particular pronouns such as “you”
and “we” in order to make the reader
feel like I was talking straight to them
and as thought they were special.
