Idea inspirations for ancillary work
This document provides inspiration for ideas from various album covers and advertisements that could be used for the ancillary work. It summarizes different design elements liked from each source, such as the creative layout from one project using bold text and natural pictures. It also mentions liking the simple yet bold presentation of the album name and artist from another source, and considering using a black and white filter with highlighted colors for the artist picture and logo from another inspiration. The font from one album cover is highlighted as being stylish, clear, different and able to be manipulated with colors.
Comparing images
The document discusses reasons for retaking several photos. The first photo was taken through a window and had an unusable background. The second photo had too much wasted background space and it was unclear what the subject was doing. Several other photos were retaken to remove distracting backgrounds, improve angles, and make the setting look more like a school.
Update on mm
The document discusses two layouts for a double-page music magazine spread. The first layout received positive feedback for its professional appearance and Photoshop skills. However, the second layout was praised for its composition and mood. Upon showing the second layout to a friend, the friend felt it resembled a boxing poster more than a music magazine. To address this, the document's author modified the first layout to incorporate organization elements from the second layout.
Digipack Analysis
The document analyzes and compares the digipaks of two artists, Amy Myers and Emma Calder. For Amy Myers' digipak, the simplicity stood out through basic colors and ideas. Additionally, the blurb and personalized signature on the inner sleeve gave an intimate feel. The consistent track listing made it neat and uniform. For Emma Calder's digipak, the front page immediately identified the artist and album. The inside sleeve creatively featured the blurry artist on one side and credits on the other. The track listing on the back stood out in a different color. Overall, both digipaks followed consistent color schemes throughout.
Songwriting 2009
The document provides information about a songwriting course that teaches students how to compose melodies, write lyrics, create chord progressions, bass lines, and drum parts. It notes that while instrumental skills are not required, some music theory knowledge is recommended. The course will cover analyzing songs, music history, and developing aural skills. Students will write and record an original three-minute song as a major assessment task, along with smaller compositions, essays, and written exams. The goal is to challenge students and help them develop songwriting skills.
Film powerpoint w Danielle
Films originated in the 1890s as the first motion pictures, shown in temporary storefront spaces. Over time, films developed greatly and became a popular form of entertainment that can relieve stress and boost social skills, while some have good life lessons. Films are similar to music in being entertaining and inspiring to many ages, but films require going to a showing while music can be listened to anytime and offers more genre options.

The document provides an analysis of the music video for the song "Love Letters" by the band Metronomy. Some key points:
- The music video promotes both the band's album and the single of the same name.
- It was directed by Michel Gondry, known for his abstract directorial style, fitting for the band's unusual approach.
- Through its lyrics, instrumentation, and genre-blending style, the song captures the band's signature sound while offering something different from conventional love songs or pop.
- Metronomy is signed to an independent label, appealing to fans who value authenticity over mainstream commercialism.
Exisiting products and fonts
The document discusses fonts used on existing music products such as posters and digital packs. It notes that artists often use custom fonts to advertise themselves which become associated with their brand. Bruno Mars' name uses a distinctive font while "Live" stands out in a different, bold font. Katy Perry also uses an electro pink font that people associate with her brand. The Beatles keep their poster minimalistic with just their name in their iconic font. For a music poster and digital pack, the document recommends using consistent fonts throughout but featuring the artist's name in a different font to draw attention, mimic existing successful designs, and make the products look realistic.

Digipak analysis professor green
The digipak for Professor Green's album "Alive Till I'm Dead" utilizes simple designs throughout to emphasize images of the artist and draw focus to him. The front cover shows a close-up of his face to introduce him to new audiences. Interior images from different angles provide insights into his life through tattoos and give audiences ways to identify with him. Lyrics are included in the booklet to enhance the storytelling nature of hip-hop music. Simplicity and a unified design carry through the packaging.
Question 7 media evaluation
The student learned several key lessons from their preliminary college magazine task to their final music magazine product. Their photography, layout, and Photoshop skills improved to make the images and cover more professional. Specifically, they learned to use a plain white background with a single dominant artist on the cover. Their knowledge of removing backgrounds and adjusting lighting and contrast made the images higher quality. Directly addressing the target audience was also more important for appeal compared to the first magazine.
Media pitch
Kieran Ross is pitching a new hip hop magazine targeted towards young people aged 16-21, primarily males. The magazine will focus on the hip hop genre (sub genre). Potential titles being considered are The Beat, Drop the Beat (DB), and Da Bomb. The main cover image will feature a friend of Kieran's posing against a wall. The double page spread will provide a mixture of text and images profiling the cover artist. Other content may include the latest songs, upcoming artists, hip hop culture websites, equipment for sale, and a questions section. The magazine style will use black and gold colors.
Band Identity
The document discusses creating an artist profile for a music magazine targeting indie/alternative rock fans. It outlines choosing the name "Bran Rock" for the artist as it is unique, easy to remember, and suits the target audience. For photos, the artist will be depicted in front of a plain red brick wall in color to suit the genre while keeping the style approachable. The costume will be a light gray suit with a dark polo to seem slightly scruffy but still smart. A guitar prop will demonstrate the artist is musical. A logo was designed using a unique font to represent the alternative artist.
Research
The document discusses creating an album cover to match an unconventional music video. It summarizes researching Kate Nash's cartoon-style album covers but planning a different style. It also discusses liking album covers featuring an artist's close-up face and name with the album title. Potential fonts from a website are presented for audience feedback on the best choice.
Question 2 of Evaluation
To successfully create social media pages and ancillary texts for an R&B artist, the team researched conventions in R&B music videos, magazines, and websites. Their music video followed a simplistic black-and-white style with singing and choreography, like typical R&B videos. R&B magazine covers featured a large artist photo and no more than 3 quotes. The team replicated this style for their magazine cover and kept their website, Facebook, and Twitter pages similarly clean and simple to match the R&B genre rather than pop.
Print Products - Eval 3
The document discusses feedback from test audiences on print products like digipaks and magazine advertisements for rap artists. For digipaks, audiences felt the artist should be prominently featured. Feedback on sample digipaks noted how the artist's image related to the music's genre. For magazine ads, audiences preferred ads focusing on the artist to build connection and felt very bright colors could falsely represent the music's content. The document outlines using this audience research to design their own print materials and refine them based on additional feedback.
Magazine Pitch
The document discusses plans for an indie/pop music magazine, including:
- The magazine will focus on indie rock and pop music similar to Q magazine.
- The design and colors will link to the music genre and appeal to target readers aged 16-30 interested in indie/pop music.
- Potential color schemes are green/white/black or yellow/white/black.
- Candidate magazine names were generated based on music-related words, with top choices being Amplified, Rhythm, Crescendo, Musicophile, and Musicophobia.
- Recent photos taken of a friend playing guitar in black and white will be suitable for the magazine cover.
Photo shoot plan template anti
The document outlines a photo shoot plan for the magazine "ANTI". It will feature a 16-year-old male model photographed in medium close-up against a plain white backdrop at school during daytime. No makeup, hair styling, or branded clothing will be used to maintain a natural look and avoid free advertising. The magazine's name "ANTI" connotes opposition to the system like police, fitting with rap music's culture of defiance.
Introduction to coursework
This document outlines Corey Balsom's media studies coursework which involves creating the first issue of an original music magazine. The magazine will include a front page, contents page, and a double-page article spread. Corey will research other successful music magazines to understand what makes them effective and will utilize different codes and conventions. Adobe Photoshop CS6 will be used for the front and contents pages while InDesign will be used for the double-page article spread.
Question 1
The document discusses how the media product uses and challenges conventions of real music products.
It summarizes that the digipak uses normal conventions like title, artist, and songs, but challenges having the main artist picture on the front cover. Inspiration is drawn from Thirty Seconds to Mars and Magic Man album covers. Photos from a tunnel shoot are used for the lyrics page.
The website uses standard elements like videos and songs but does not prominently feature the artist. Colors and styled photos similar to the album cover are used to make the website more visually interesting.
The music video uses conventions like featuring the artist and relating to the genre but challenges conventions slightly by including some narrative alongside the main performance elements
Presentation for eval 1
1) The document discusses conventions found in digipaks and magazine advertisements for music. Digipaks commonly feature multiple images of the artist to attract audiences based on interest in the performer. Magazine ads also prominently display the artist's name to connect them to the album.
2) Color choices in designs can relate to the artist's message or brand. For example, the use of red in a digipak was meant to represent both love/lust for music but also anger over dividing social issues.
3) Effective magazine ads make the album title and artist name clear and central. They may also feature reviews to suggest the music's quality and appeal to target audiences. Common designs are maintained across promotional materials.
Double page document
Ruby Fields has released a new solo album after leaving her award-winning band Molly's Chamber six months ago. While she had some songs written beforehand, she worked to improve and produce them over that short time period. The split was amicable as the band members wanted to try new projects but may collaborate together again in the future. Ruby aimed to make her solo album different and memorable to listeners rather than just background music. During the interview, she discussed the album name "Market" and targeting a new audience, but still appealing to old fans. Ruby also shared her experience meeting her musical idol Jack White and answered a hypothetical question about having a body part made of food.
FMP - Context statement
This document provides context for the student's final major project (FMP) which will involve creating a series of album cover designs for a prog-rock/prog-metal band over the past 5-6 decades. The student discusses how researching the band Rush helped provide understanding of their influential genre. They also note how Rush artist Hugh Syme created symbolic artwork for each album that represented the musical themes. The student intends to chronologically create one album cover design per decade from the 1970s to present day, experimenting with photography, sketches, and computer-based techniques depending on the era. Although feeling their skills may be lacking compared to another similar student project, the topic's passion keeps the student excited to complete this FMP.
Masthead ideas
The document discusses name ideas for a new music magazine, including Alter, Amplify, and TM-(The Music). The author chose Alter as the name because it represents their target audience of alternative music in an "edgy" way. The document also presents initial masthead designs for the magazine, including one inspired by Billboard magazine using various colors and two simpler designs with rougher fonts in different background colors.
Evaluation two
The student created a music video, magazine poster, and digipak to promote a pop artist's album. She aimed to present the artist as strong and independent in the music video. To ensure cohesion across materials, she used consistent themes, colors, and outfits featured in the music video. Many pop artists use similar techniques to relate their albums and videos, which the student emulated in her designs.
My two album covers
This album cover was created on Photoshop and features two artists looking at the camera in a natural setting with natural lighting. This creates a sense of realism and allows the audience to connect with the artists. The artists are dressed in a way that the target audience can aspire to, wearing fresh clothes. The album title "D.O.P.E." references being fresh or cool, something the target urban audience can relate to. A parental advisory label is included since most hip hop songs contain explicit lyrics.
Digipak analysis
This document analyzes and summarizes the design elements of digipaks and advertisements for several musical artists. For Chase and Status, a consistent font style and color scheme is used across the front, back, and advertisements. Janelle Monáe's album covers feature the same font style and color but different images, with synergy between the album art and a music video. Beyoncé's surprise album has no image on the black cover, only pink text, maintaining the font and color throughout to create a cohesive visual identity.
Q6
The document discusses various technology programs used for a magazine production project, including Photoshop for image editing and layout, Divshare for uploading audio files online, Slideshare for storing PowerPoint presentations, and Blogger for creating a blog to post content, pictures and videos. Microsoft Word and PowerPoint were also regularly used for typing up and presenting work. Adobe Audition was additionally utilized to easily edit audio recordings from focus groups by removing laughter and background noises.
Q7
Looking back at my preliminary task compared to the full music magazine, I have learned many new skills in Photoshop and in magazine design and layout. For the preliminary task, the design lacked creativity and color, with poorly positioned text and unused space. However, in creating the full magazine I learned about composition, layout, and utilized space better with professional finishes like varied colors, sell lines, and well-cut images. My skills in areas like cutting, use of space, and overall design improved greatly between the two works.

Q5(1)
The document discusses how the magazine cover attracts and addresses its target audience. Specifically, it uses:
1) Direct address through photos and language to make the audience feel involved.
2) Persuasive techniques like rhetorical questions and alliteration to entice readers.
3) Repetition of words like "backstage" to convince readers this is their preferred choice over competitors.
4) Relatable images of artists to help audiences identify with them but also want to emulate their success.
Evaluation 4
The document discusses the use of new media technologies in the production of a music video project. Various software like Adobe Premiere Pro, YouTube, and Blogger were used for editing, sharing, and organizing the project files.

The document discusses various topics related to geology and energy projects including a Worldbank project in Mozambique, well testing and planning in the Netherlands, volcanic activity at Mount St Helens in the USA, 3D modeling of oil fields, geothermal licenses, and carbon capture and storage. It also mentions advertising a holiday lodge in Italy.
Q7
The document reflects on the learning process from the preliminary task of creating a magazine cover to the final product. For the preliminary cover, the main image was well-focused but there were too many colors making it confusing. However, it helped understand Photoshop tools and research magazine conventions. The final cover addressed these issues by having only 3 colors, positioning the image and details properly. Creating the preliminary contents page similarly helped understand magazine layouts better, but the final version included additional standard elements like an editorial, front cover copy, and website that were missing originally.

To create their music video and ancillary texts, the student used new media technologies like video cameras, Adobe Premiere Pro, Bandicam, Microsoft Office, YouTube, blogs, and slideshare. Initial research involved using YouTube to find conventions in other music videos. A video camera was used to film footage and vox pops which were edited in Premiere Pro and uploaded to YouTube and blogs. Adobe Premiere Pro was the primary software used to edit the music video. Bandicam recorded screen activity while editing. Blogs organized and shared all files and uploads. Slideshare and Microsoft Office were used to create and share presentations.
Questionnaire Analysis
The document discusses the results of a questionnaire given to 15 males and females to help design a new music magazine. Most respondents were between ages 15-18, which will be the magazine's main target audience. Questions focused on determining what types of features and genres of music readers want, as well as which social media sites could help promote the magazine. The information collected will aid in understanding readers' preferences to create a magazine they will enjoy.
Hitenn q1
The document discusses how the music video challenges conventions of typical rap videos. It incorporates some conventions like camera shots and the artist wearing a baseball cap but does not include stereotypical elements like objectifying women, money, drugs, and gang culture. Instead it focuses on a love story theme and portrays the relationship in a caring, passionate way without degrading or sexualizing the female artist. It aims to attract a mainstream audience by developing the genres of rap and R&B in its storyline and representation of the relationship.

Question 3 – what have you learnt from
From feedback received on audience questionnaires about the ancillary texts and music video created to promote a pop/indie artist, the following was learned:
The color scheme of the ancillary texts was too dark and did not match the genre. The typography was also criticized as being too overdone or overwhelming. However, the layout and consistency across products was seen as effective. Simplifying designs and using brighter colors was suggested. The music video's storyline and locations were engaging but some technical aspects like transitions and video quality needed improvement.

From feedback received on audience questionnaires about the ancillary texts for a music artist, the following was learned:
- The dark color scheme of the texts did not match the pop/indie genre and made the products seem more suited to genres like R&B. Brighter colors would have been more appropriate.
- The typography was generally effective but in some cases was too "over the top" or crowded, making the layout overwhelming. Simpler fonts would have helped.
- The images used were generally clear and effective but could have been larger in some cases. Effects made some images too dark. Lighter, more energetic images may have better reflected the genre.
- The overall layout was
Question 1: Part 2: Digipak & Music Magazine Advertisment
The document discusses how the author analyzed real music album packaging like those of Mumford & Sons and Rihanna to inform the design of their own mock album packaging. They looked at how the designs reflected the artists' styles and genres. Based on this, the author created a mock album design for their chosen artist Eric Baker that drew inspiration from indie artists like Tom Odell to reflect the natural ideology of indie music. The design includes elements like the artist's name and image, album title and tracklist to resemble real album packaging.
Student ancillary analysis
The document provides an analysis of three student ancillary tasks evaluating digipaks from different bands. For the Arctic Monkeys digipak, the student likes the fonts and color scheme but finds the images hard to make out. For the mise-en-scene analysis, the student notes the casual costume fits the indie rock genre. The Sum 41 digipak fonts are hard to read and the band photo needs flipping. The Canopy Climbers digipak uses plain colors and fitting inside images, but the front fonts feel unprofessional.
Kanye West
This document analyzes and summarizes the album cover, back cover, and images from Kanye West's "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" album. It discusses the strengths and weaknesses of the abstract front cover image, the color scheme used, and the lack of an image on the back cover. The document also examines the abstract and unreadable track list font, placement of the barcode, and random placement of text on the back cover. Finally, it mentions promotional images released before the album to help with marketing.
Kanye
This document analyzes and summarizes the album cover, back cover, and images from Kanye West's album "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy". It discusses the strengths and weaknesses of the abstract front cover image, the color scheme used, and the lack of an image on the back cover. It also examines the abstract and unreadable track list font, placement of the barcode, and promotional photos released to market the album before its release. In summary, it provides a thorough visual and stylistic breakdown of the album packaging and promotional materials.
Audience feedback responses & what I have learnt
The feedback received was overall very positive. Respondents agreed that the genre was clearly shown and conventions were followed. However, some noted that the house style/brand identity between the magazine cover and film poster could be stronger. Other suggested improvements included using a tripod for filming to improve image quality, making the storyline and sad elements clearer, and making the on-screen text bolder and easier to read. The creator is pleased with the positive feedback but acknowledges areas like house style consistency and technical aspects that could be improved if done again.
Exam preparation
The document discusses a coursework assignment to evaluate a music production in relation to genre concepts. Specifically, it summarizes the author's creation of a CD cover called "DiscoLights" by "Hungarian Mansion Dealers", intended to represent a dance music genre. The summary explores various genre theories and how they are represented through technical elements, iconography, mise-en-scene, and characters on the CD cover. Repetition of dance music conventions and stereotypes are used to appeal to the target audience, according to the theories of Neale and others.
Yasmine
This album cover was created in Photoshop using artistic filters to manipulate the image and lighting. The text is graffiti-style, reflecting the hip hop, R&B, and electro music genres. The cover is bright and colorful to represent the upbeat and lively music. The artist's face is the focal point due to its central placement and bright, extravagant color, suggesting they are loud, extroverted, and lively like their music.
Unit 14 - LO1
Unit 14 outlines Ashley B's plans for creating a magazine focused on TV. The document details mockups for the front cover and double page spreads, including main images, text placement, and quotes. It also includes plans for a photo shoot, production schedule, and presentation environment. The production plan lays out the process from content selection to printing and distribution across a two-week period.
Exam preparation
Brandon Fry has created a CD cover called "DiscoLights" by "Hungarian Mansion Dealers" to evaluate in relation to music genre concepts. The cover uses stereotypical design elements of dance music genres, such as a black background with large bold grey text. While simple compared to pop albums, these design choices will appeal specifically to dance music audiences by playing on expectations of the genre through repetition of conventions. No props, settings, costumes, or characters are depicted on the cover, as is common for dance music, allowing the music to be the focus without symbolic elements that could distract from the genre.
Unit 14
The document summarizes the pre-production work done for a print-based music magazine called "President". It includes rough sketches, masthead ideas, images of influence, a mood board, interview draft, graphic layouts, a photography plan, test photography, and a production plan spanning 4 weeks. Resources needed and costs are also listed, including staff salaries, office space, equipment, and a total budget of over $500,000. A location recce for a photo shoot is described, noting the date, time, lighting, shots, and minimal hazards since it was done outside with natural light against a white wall.
Student Digipak and Magazine Advert analysis
This document analyzes and critiques three student-created digipaks and accompanying magazine advertisements. For Digipak #1, the genre is not well established and the layout has some issues, though colors and images work well. Digipak #2 effectively establishes its indie genre through fonts, colors and images. While Digipak #3 lacks important details like the artist or album name, its abstract images may suit its genre. Magazine Ad #1 relates well to its digipak, while Ad #2 could better match. Ad #3 helps identify the otherwise bare digipak through the repeated image. Overall, the document provides feedback on how the students conveyed or failed to convey key details around genre, audience, layout
Evaluation post 2
1) The document evaluates how effectively the main product (a music video) and ancillary texts (magazine poster and digipak) work together.
2) The products use a consistent color scheme of black, white, and red to visually connect them and represent the artists as strong and bold.
3) Imagery, layout, and themes are also kept consistent across products to portray the two artists as equal and to make the products feel cohesive.
Fanzine Research
The document discusses different existing fanzines that could provide inspiration for designing a new fanzine. It analyzes the content, design, and subjects of three sample fanzines. The fanzines covered music bands, the TV show Better Call Saul, and the musician Kurt Cobain. Common elements identified across fanzines included interviews, photos of the subject matter, and a balance of images to text that increases images over time. Design elements like color schemes and fonts were also examined. The document concludes with potential ideas for creating a new fanzine on music, video games, or the tech company Razer.
Question 2
This document discusses and analyzes the design elements used across a music video and promotional materials for an Afrobeats album. Key design elements like colorful imagery, African prints, and vibrant tones are used to represent the genre in all products. The advertisement, CD cover, and blurb all feature consistent elements that effectively portray the artists and genre without needing to explicitly state it. Keeping the CD design simple balances the bold, colorful packaging. Additional posters with the artists could further engage fans and promote success. The materials work well together as a cohesive promotional package.
Question 2
This document discusses the design of advertisements, CD packaging, and a music video for a fictional Afrobeats album. The author aimed to represent the genre consistently across all media through African prints, colors, and imagery. Specifically, the advertisement and album cover use bright colors and patterns to portray the upbeat, colorful style of Afrobeats music. In contrast, the album back cover incorporates the color purple to represent vulnerability and emotion. The CD itself is kept plain as not to overwhelm the audience visually. Overall, the media work as a cohesive package to represent the genre.
Album inspiration
The document discusses album artwork for indie bands like Mumford and Sons. It notes that the writer prefers album covers that feature interesting images rather than just text, and likes the subtly grainy quality of Mumford and Sons' covers that reference their indie folk genre. The writer is inspired by how the images evoke thought and draw the audience in, and wants to create a similar aesthetic for their own digi-pack cover using a grainy photo taken with a disposable or polaroid camera to follow indie conventions.
Audience Feedback
The document summarizes audience feedback from questionnaires distributed to six people who viewed poster and album cover designs for the artist "Taylor and the Rubies." Feedback indicated that the designs were typical of album/poster formats in their use of themes, colors and imagery to represent the artist. Elements that stood out included unusual text formatting and a retro cassette design. All agreed the designs worked well to intrigue viewers about the artist's music and personality through a unified theme and mellow color palette. The brand image created was of a young, fun and energetic artist breaking boundaries in the indie/pop genre. The designer was pleased with the positive feedback and ways to potentially strengthen the designs further.

Eval 2
The document discusses how the ancillary texts and music video for a song portray the artist in different ways. The ancillary texts like album covers show the artist as a "street rapper" through images like low camera angles and street clothing. In contrast, the music video shows the artist in a more caring light through images of him in lighter colors and with his girlfriend. Both representations are meant to show different sides of the artist and allow audiences to relate to him in different ways. Elements like the baseball cap are included in both to maintain aspects of his rapper identity.
Evaluation 4
To create their music video and ancillary texts, the student used new media technologies like video cameras, Adobe Premiere Pro, Bandicam, Microsoft Office, YouTube, blogs, and slideshare. Initial research involved using YouTube to study other music videos. A video camera was used to film footage and vox pops which were edited in Adobe Premiere Pro and uploaded to YouTube and blogs. Blogger was important for organizing files and tracking progress. Adobe Premiere Pro, Bandicam and Microsoft Office were used to edit videos, screen record editing processes, and type documents.
Drake front cover and back cover
The document describes the front and back cover dimensions of Drake's "Take Care" album. The front cover is 12cm high and 12cm wide. The back cover is 11.8cm high and 15cm wide. The front cover features Drake's album artwork and name, while the back cover lists the track names, background information, record label, and institutional details.
Drake press
- Drake, whose real name is Aubrey Drake Graham, is a Canadian recording artist and rapper.
- He signed with Young Money Entertainment in 2009 and released his debut studio album Thank Me Later in 2010, which peaked at #1 on the Billboard 200.
- As part of Young Money, Drake has collaborated on several hit singles and been nominated for numerous awards, including Grammys, winning two Juno Awards in 2010.
Equipment being used in production of video
The document discusses various equipment used in producing a music video, including editing software like First Cut (which allows special effects but only works on iMacs), Adobe Premier (which made editing easier), a Tri-caster studio (which adds effects and supports green screen use), a green screen (to add effects and manipulate footage), a tripod and video camera (to record footage professionally), and an iMac computer (to use First Cut software).
Andrew goodwin’s theory
Andrew Goodwin identified several key features that distinguish music videos as a form, including a relationship between song lyrics and visuals, the use of voyeurism to attract mostly male audiences, inclusion of intertextual references, record company demands for close-ups of artists, and genre-specific music video styles and icons.
Chosen images
This document summarizes the rationale for images chosen for different parts of a magazine. An image was selected for the front cover that features striking clothing relating to the theme and would attract audiences. For the content page, an image depicts the culture and tradition of Bollywood music through instruments and characters. A double page spread was picked that is unique, shows traditional clothing and instruments, and reflects the magazine's theme of Bollywood.
Q2(1)
The document discusses how a media product represents 17-24 year olds. It uses colloquial language to appeal to this age range but limits it to also include 22-24 year olds. Images in the product like people playing a dhool instrument and being outside reinforce this group's energy and rebellious side. Fonts and colors used also relate to this group's familiarity with Asian music and fashion.
Q1
My media product uses several forms and conventions of typical music magazines, such as including a masthead, cover story, issue number, and price on the front cover. The contents page also includes standard features like month/year, images, page numbers, and website address. However, my double page spread only uses one central image rather than multiple images seen in real magazines, in order to focus the reader's attention and still provide a visual aid. While most conventions are followed, this challenges a common real magazine format.
Q1
1) The document discusses how the media product uses conventional forms and techniques from real music magazines. Poses, props, mastheads, sell lines, and other design elements mimic those found in magazines like Vibe and XXL to make the product feel authentic and familiar to audiences.
2) Specific conventions that were utilized include poses and props commonly associated with R&B artists, dynamic mastheads with drop shadows, "puff" text to promote the magazine, consistent color schemes, floating quotes, and inclusion of freebies - all of which are typical magazine marketing techniques.
3) While borrowing existing conventions, some unique design choices were made as well, such as taking up the full double page spread with the main image
Q2
The magazine targets a youth and teenage audience. To appeal to this demographic, the author used a female teenage artist on the cover and included colloquial language in interviews. The fonts and cover photography were also chosen to represent themes of passion, danger, and arrogance that would interest teenagers.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex Proofs
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Question 3
- 2. DO YOU THINK OUR ANCILLARY TEXTS COULD BE MAINSTREAM? Responder 1: Yes, I believe so as it looks quite professional as everything seems too look right and in its place, for example I believe the poster is simple but yet quite effective as it personalises the artist by showing where he is from and that allows the audience to understand the music a bit more Responder 2: The colours used reflect the genre and can be easily fitted into the genre so could be a commercial success. Responder 3: I think so because all the ancillary texts seemed to be linked to each other and it looks very appealing Responder 4: It seems very commercial for the rap genre, and I think it would be a good success.
- 3. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE IMAGES USED IN THE ANCILLARY TEXTS? Responder 1: I think that the main image on the poster is very powerful, as the artist is big and bold and stands out which also shows his body language and instantly can recognised as a rapper with the hoody and the baseball cap. Responder 2: I liked how the in the poster the artist is stood out and the glow looks very nice Responder 3: After seeing all the ancillary texts you can easily tell that they are all related to each other as the artist as the image is the most important image. Responder 4: I think that the image on the cd cover is too big and could have been a bit smaller.
- 4. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF OUR ANCILLARY TEXTS AS A WHOLE? Responder 1: I really like them, they look quite professional and I like how there is the mist on the front of the cd cover Responder 2: You can easily tell that they are from the same artist which I really like. Responder 3: I like them, but the back cd cover looks like there is too much going and would prefer it if it was a bit more simple. Responder 4: It was easily visible and If I was going to buy the cd the ancillary texts are quite effective at doing so. Responder 5: I like the inlay cards they are very good.
