Question 5

My contents and DPS analysis
This document provides a textual analysis of the contents page and double-page spread (DPS) of a music magazine. Key elements that are discussed include the use of logos, images of celebrities, subheadings, page numbers, and alternate images on the contents page to attract readers and inform them about the magazine's content. Elements like stand first paragraphs, drop caps, pull quotes, and credits are analyzed on the DPS as ways to introduce articles and make the content look professional to increase sales. The student concludes they will replicate several of these design elements, like using celebrity images and effective sublines, in their own music magazine to attract readers and maximize sales.
Evaluation – Question 2
The combination of the main magazine products and ancillary tasks is effective. Images, fonts, and color schemes are used consistently across the front cover, contents page, double page spread, billboard, and website to create a cohesive brand identity. The same models and scenes appear on multiple pieces to reinforce recognition. Descriptive fonts are used for headlines and body text while a unique font draws attention to a specific article. Establishing this visual consistency and a unique selling point as the first regional fashion magazine for older teens helps the brand stand out.

In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
By Zahra Uddin
The media product uses conventions of real magazine covers by including elements like a masthead, date, price, bar code, close-up images, overlapping images, and persuasive language. However, it also develops conventions by clearly dividing text between the two pages of a double-page spread, whereas real magazines do not separate the pages. Additionally, the contents page challenges real magazine conventions by incorporating more patterns into the background than typically seen in real products.
Mediaaaaaaaaaaaa how the aims of the production have been met
The document summarizes a film magazine created for teens. It achieved the aims outlined in the proposal to create a magazine similar to Empire and Total Film targeting teens grades B-D.

Online entrepreneurship 2(1) final
The document discusses online entrepreneurship and some of the challenges new online businesses face. It notes that while starting an online business is now inexpensive, the vast majority of new online businesses will ultimately fail due to a lack of a solid business model and an unrealistic view of online business as "easy". Specifically, it states that 20% of new businesses fail within the first year, 51.2% fail after 5 years, and 71% fail by 10 years. Established competitors also have significant advantages over new online businesses.

For my media product, a music magazine focused on electronic dance music (EDM), I both challenged conventions of real magazines and developed conventions:
- On the front cover, I challenged conventions by placing cover lines in a non-formulaic way to match the random tempo of EDM beats, but developed conventions using the "Z technique" and "rule of thirds".
- The contents page adhered to conventions for an easy structure, while linking colors and fonts to the front cover for consistency.
- A double page spread developed conventions like a pulled quote to excite readers, while conforming to conventions like well-written reviews using creative techniques. The choice of a review over interview also developed conventions for the target 18

My magazine cover uses conventions of real magazine covers such as a masthead, cover lines, and consistent color scheme. It challenges conventions by placing the masthead on the left instead of center, adding a barcode and issue date, and using two banners with cover lines.
My contents page challenges conventions by not using columns and structuring text around images instead. It develops conventions by including page numbers, artist quotes, and a subscription advertisement.
My double page spread develops conventions by including a page number, aligning text and images, and including a full article interview. It challenges conventions by placing smaller images in polaroid frames and adding a personal touch.

The document discusses the conventions used in the author's music magazine mock-up. It examines conventions on the front cover such as the masthead, main image, sell lines, pull quote, barcode, and price. It also discusses conventions used on the contents page and a double-page article spread, such as headings, images, captions, and page numbers.

Overall, the document provides a detailed breakdown and evaluation of the design conventions employed in the author's music magazine project.
Evaluation
The front cover uses conventions of real music magazines like Q Magazine by including a small masthead in the top left corner. It was inspired by magazines like Q, NME and MixMag but does not take all inspiration from one to cater to a gap in the existing market. Graphics are used in the background of the cover to make it stand out, with decreased opacity so text is still visible.

Question 1[1]
- 1. In what way does your media product use, develop and challenge forms of conventions of real media products?
- 2. What are the conventions?
- 3. How does my media product use these conventions? Front Cover Skyline Masthead Sell lines Anchorage text • Price, barcode, issue number, website. • • • • My front cover has followed the main conventions as listed. These are found on all magazines such as mixmag, NME and Q. It is important to use these so you can identify the media product as a music magazine. There are no particular conventions which are only used on magazines with a similar genre. However, the main image and colour scheme must relate and portray the EDM genre. I did this by using props such as head phones, and bright colours such as white and purples and kept to the same colour scheme throughout.
- 4. Double page spread •Main image • pull quote • Columns My double page spread has a pull quote, columns and a main image. These are found on most double page spread as it looks appealing to the audience. Smaller but also very important conventions I have included to ensure it looks professional are page numbers at the bottom, the name of the magazine, name of the artist/DJ and the date. These are all found on double page spread in magazines such as NME and Mixmag which have a target audience similar to mine.
- 5. Contents page •Picture of the front cover • Pictures •Social media •Page numbers •Advertisement • Dates • My contents page has all the conventions I could think of to make it look professional. I looks neat and appealing to the audience. I think it is important that the contents page has many images as this is one of the first things the reader see’s when they open the magazine. Page numbers next to the articles are essential so the readers can find there way around the magazine easily.
