This document summarizes how the media product uses and develops conventions from real magazines.
The front cover was inspired by magazines like XXL and Vibe to fit conventions while having uniqueness. Elements like lighting, location, artist's pose and outfit aim to appeal to the target audience.
The double page spread (DPS) has a portrait image of the artist separate from text, following conventions. The angle and lighting were chosen to represent the artist's journey.
Creating the contents page was challenging to include the minimum two images while changing ideas, until a final version was made. Conventions from existing magazines provided inspiration for an effective layout.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

1. Question 1
In what ways does your media product use, develop
or challenge forms and conventions of real media
products?
2. In order to answer this question I had to
split it into three sections within the
product such as ; Front cover, double page
spread and contents page…
3. Front cover
Introduction : when creating / making my front cover, I needed inspiration from other similar
magazines such as ‘XXL’ and ‘Vibe magazine’. I needed inspiration from these specific
magazines because, they are based around my target audience and in the same genre , and
are very successful. I tried to fit conventions while also trying to create a unique product.
4. lighting/ background
The lighting in my front cover image isn’t low-key or high-key instead I made sure the
lighting was balanced , as I knew , I would have my masthead in white on the off
white background , because if they was the same tone, if hey would clasdh, I could of
made the background whiter in ‘photoshop’ and change the colour of the ,masthead,
but I wanted the artist top to be the same off white as the background so it would
blend more.
For the lighting I used a hair light, which created a light around the artists body to
bring his body off the backdrop, and brang the artist body more forward. This brings
the image more together.
5. location
The location of this front cover image was in a professional photography studio on a
white background as I have seen in the majority of ‘vibe’ and ‘xxl’ frontcovers are
normally a plain background and is white which I thought would be effective because
it will focus the readers on the artist, compared to if it was a coloured background
which was plain it would most likely distract the readers.
6. Artists body language
I made the artist body language also appeal to my target audience; by making the artists
body be slightly arched and bent over leaning and looking directly into the readers eyes. This
pose denotes a young persons pose , which makes the artists relate more to the target
audience . The image connotes a serious vibe as the artist has no facial expression , I did this
so the vibe and feel was like the artist is ‘the man’ or like the top guy.
7. costume
The outfit the artist is wearing is casual and is the lastest most common style of 2015
in the 16-19 even older fasion. The triple black huaraches which he wears on his feet
are the most popular shoes. I didn’t want to dress the artist in expensive brands which
will make the audience want to brake their pockets for, I wasn’t trying to make the
artist look higher hierarchy in the way they dress on drakes level as my magazine
advertises music not clothing brands that are ridiciously expensive , I wanted the artist
to look average and casual, which differs from other magazines in the same genre as
mine
8. Composition / positioning
The composition is good as it looked like he is behind the text and zoomed out,as
there was some text to be put onto the magazine and this made the magazine look
more positively positioned so it looked more professional. But I could of improved
the composition but adding abit more text as bits at the bottom of the front cover
was abit gappy, as I sadly ran out of interesting appealing coverlines.
9. angling
The angle of the shot is a longshot as you can see the artists full body and the body is
zoomed out. The image is portrait, as most magazines are.
11. Coverlines
I had to be very selective when chosing my coverlines as this is the main thing that
draws my target audience in, and it sums up abit of whats inside , so I did find this
challenging so I had to make it interesting and appealing as possible . I took
inspiration front old issues of the ‘vibe’ magazine to get a rough idea about what to
write to make a successful front cover.
12. Colour scheme
Overall I have learnt a lot in terms of magazines when creating my front cover such as
colour schemes for different genre magazines, which is one of the main reasons I kept
the colour scheme simple with three main colours that all co-ordinated well. I chose
these basic colours of white and black as this was the colour clothing the artist is
wearing , but didn’t want the colour scheme to be too dull so I added in a primary
colour of yellow to make the magazine look more exciting, these three colours went
well together and made my magazine successful .
13. conventions
To make this magazine look even more professional , I ialso included a barcode, prics
and issue number
14. DPS
in order to create a successful, conventional and appealing DPS, I looked at other
magazine double page spreads and took inspiration from there…
15. For my DPS I decided to have a portrait image of the artist instead of a full DPS image
background, so the artist is separate from the text. I also did as the angle of the artists
body is standing which is directly to the left looks like he is looking towards the text,
which made my DPS more appealing.
The image of the artist is a medium shot as it is a three quarter shot of the artist body,
from his waist upwards. The artists pose makes him look sophisticated while dressed
in causal clothing which is what I intended as I wanted the image to relate to the pull
quote “music is how I got out the hood for good” I made sure the artist wore a
bomber jacket which is hood like but is stylish and more sophisticated than the nike
or adidas version of a bomber jacket.
16. angle/lighting
The angle I took this shot was so that you can only see half / one side of the artist
body and face, as the other side represents his past and the side the readers can see
represents his success. The side not shown (the dark past) is to imply he has come a
long way . The location for this shot was again in a professional photography studio.
The lighting in this image is not too bright or to dark, I made the colour background
in the image as the same colour as the colour background on the text so it all looks
blended and brang together to look conventional, instead of two separate pages.
17. DPS conventions
My double page spread also follow the conventions as it has an introduction
explaning what the article is about, a large image and the interview on the right hand
side. My analysis of existing magazine products helped me a lot when creating a
conventional product, as I used other sources for inspiration.
18. Changes
When making my DPS I made a lot of changes regarding to the layout, i.e. whether to
have a full background and image or only one image on one side of the page, also
what fonts to use as I wanted my magazine to follow the conventions of a successful
music magazine
19. Contents page
I had issues creating the contents page as I had to include two images minimum on
the contents page, which meant constantly changing my ideas.
I started of after about 6 times changing non keeping this was my contents page…
until I changed it to this …
