This document discusses how the author's media product uses and challenges conventions of a real magazine genre. It provides examples of how different elements of the magazine follow or subvert expectations.

The double page spread features a model dressed in darker indie-style clothing with an indirect gaze, challenging stereotypes. Technical elements like fonts and placement of images are designed to be modern and appeal to a young audience. Symbolic codes like clothing and gaze are used on the cover and spread to convey moodiness rather than following conventions.

Question 2
The document discusses the conventions and codes used in the media product of an indie music magazine. It uses technical codes like fonts, layout, and images as well as symbolic codes like posing of subjects and color schemes to identify the magazine's genre and challenge stereotypes. The cover features indie artists to attract readers interested in that genre. The black and white color scheme and lack of color on the contents page further signals the indie genre. However, a double page spread subverts expectations by posing the artist with an indirect gaze rather than a direct smile at the camera as seen in other magazines. Overall, the document examines how the magazine's forms and styles develop and challenge conventions to effectively represent its target indie music audience.
Double page spread analysis
This document provides a textual analysis of the contents and layout of a music magazine focused on hip hop. It analyzes various elements of the magazine including the contents page, editorial page, and double page spread. Key elements discussed include the use of images, fonts, headings, stand first captions, issue details, credits, and tone of address to informal language. The conclusion summarizes different effective features from the magazine that could be incorporated into the designer's own hip hop magazine, such as clear page numbers, bold headings, and a dual main image.
2 front cover analysis
The document analyzes the front covers of two magazines - one featuring Kanye West and the other featuring Amy Winehouse. For each cover, it examines the color scheme, placement of images and text, and what these design elements connote or denote about the magazines' target audiences and content. Key details like the masthead font size and positioning of celebrities in relation to the masthead are evaluated based on conventions and what they communicate to readers.
Front page research
The document summarizes and compares the cover designs of different music magazines, focusing on how they represent the genres of music discussed. A Hip Hop magazine uses bold fonts, black text on white, and an image of Nicki Minaj to represent Hip Hop as powerful. In contrast, a Smooth Jazz magazine has a natural photo of a musician holding a clarinet, with simpler fonts and yellow/red colors representing classical music. Another magazine challenges conventions by featuring Jay-Z alone in black and white rather than posing or with bling.
Evaluation Q5
The document summarizes how the author addressed their intended audience for a music magazine covering grime and urban genres. Some key points:
1) Generic conventions like featuring popular brands and artists familiar to the target audience were used to attract readers' interest.
2) Images in an urban setting helped readers relate to featured artists and aligned with common music video/album conventions.
3) Clothing choices shown were attainable and avoided portraying artists as boastful to appeal to readers from working class backgrounds.
4) Language targeted lower/working classes and artists were shown as inspirations who overcame humble beginnings.
5) A basic color scheme suited the genre's origins while mastheads used urban styles

This document summarizes and contrasts the cover designs of different music magazines based on genre. A hip hop magazine uses bold fonts, black text on white backgrounds, and an image of Nicki Minaj posing confidently. In contrast, a smooth jazz magazine has a more natural image of a musician holding his instrument, simpler fonts, and emphasizes the artist's passion for music over drawing attention. The document also analyzes individual magazine covers focusing on Jay-Z and Kanye West, noting ways they challenge conventions for presenting hip hop artists.
Question 2 representations
This document discusses how people are represented in a magazine targeted towards 11-20 year old males. On the front cover, the artist is shown wearing a leather jacket, representing the target audience as aggressive and careless. Masculine colors are also used to appeal to males of this age. On the contents page, the artist is shown looking relaxed and careless, representing the target audience's attitude. On a double page spread, bold yet distressed font, dark colors, and a sinister image setting are used to represent the target audience as destructive rule breakers, in line with stereotypes of the rock music genre.
Q5
The document discusses the design choices made for various elements of an indie magazine, including the front cover, masthead, coverlines, contents page, and double page spread. For the front cover, direct address is used in the main image to create a personal relationship with the reader. The masthead "INDIGO" is intended as a play on words for "indie" to signal the genre. The coverlines and contents page include band images and articles to attract fans. Color schemes throughout appeal to the indie genre and use gender-neutral tones.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

How to Manage Your Lost Opportunities in Odoo 17 CRM
Question 2
- 1. IN WHAT WAYS DOES YOU MEDIA PRODUCT USE, DEVELOP OR CHALLENGE FORMS AND CONVENTIONS OF A REAL MEDIA PRODUCT?
- 2. According to the uses and gratifications theory, a magazine is used to divert you from your boring lives. Also, you can share the magazine with the community i.e. share it with your friends and family and also talk about it with your friends. Defining a magazine.
- 3. CONVENTIONS TO ALLOW THE AUDIENCE TO UNDERSTAND THE GENRE. Contents Page My contents page goes along with the theme of my front cover. My audiences will know that this is indie because I have a paragraph from the editor stating what genre the magazine is. Again, the contents page lacks colour but the black and white theme clearly highlights the genre. The fact that it lacks in colour, however, might not be appealing to all indie music fans. Double Page Spread The model for my DPS is stereotypically dressed as an indie artist. She’s wearing darker colours and she has an indirect mode of address. This connotes moodiness. Also, by looking at other indie magazines such as ‘Q’ and ‘NME’ all the artists had direct modes of addresses in their interview. By doing this, I have subverted the stereotype and have broken the codes and conventions. Audience will understand what genre my magazine is due to the cover lines that are on the front of my magazine. They feature; The 1975, Imagine Dragons, Bastille, Ella Eyre, George Ezra and Twenty One Pilots. These artists are signed by independent divisions of major record labels. My readers might like George Ezra, so they will therefore buy my magazine so then they will find out about more indie artists and become gig fans on the genre. Moreover, the colour scheme is a big indication on what the genre is. The colour scheme is black and white and according to my audience research, that is the most popular colour scheme and it’s the colour scheme that they think is the most indie. Cover Page
- 4. TECHNICAL CODES Like most magazines I have used technical codes to present my magazine. So the juxtaposition of my model in the double page spread, they way I have technically constructed my magazine by the use of language and words. On the front cover my masthead has a calligraphy type face, with the background being black and the type face being white, it was easy for my audience to read. I used a sans serif font on my DPS, Contents Page and Cover Page. This is because my magazine is a modern magazine and my target audience is a young audience. On my contents page, I placed two big images with the two main articles within the magazine. There is one photo of my artist ‘Rosie Breeze’ and a photo I took when I went to see Imagine Dragons in November, 2015. The photo is bright and will instantly draw the audience in to take a closer look at the article. My musician on the contents page is juxtaposed in a very stereotypical way – she has a direct mode of address and she is smiling straight at the camera.
- 5. SYMBOLIC CODES On the front cover, my musician has an indirect mode of address which connotes moodiness. I have posed her the way I have because it challenges the conventions of a stereotypical magazine cover. That’s also the same with the way she is posed for the DPS. She’s not looking at the camera which could highlight that she’s in her own trance. Her clothing is very indie, navy, black. This connotes that she is quite a dark and serious person which definitely comes across in the interview.
