Analyse 3 music magazines
The document analyzes how three music magazine covers establish their genres through signs and symbols. It discusses how Rolling Stone establishes the rap genre through the image of tattooed rapper Wiz Khalifa, symbols of wealth and rebellion. NME establishes the pop genre through Rihanna's glittery costume and props that connote fun and glamour. Kerrang establishes the punk rock genre through the image of guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, symbols of power and darkness conveyed through his clothing and makeup. Semiotics, the study of signs and symbols, is used to interpret how visual elements on the covers communicate the genres represented in the magazines.
Risk assessment
If it rains while using a camera outdoors, the camera could malfunction if it gets wet. To prevent this, a plastic bag can be used to cover the camera or a waterproof case can be purchased. When taking photos of a subject, they could lose their balance and get hurt, so the subject shouldn't be forced into uncomfortable positions and others should be nearby to help on slippery surfaces.

Experimenting with different designs and formats taught the importance of conventions, fonts, and making key elements stand out. Reflecting on the preliminary task allowed the student to better engage their target audience and create a more polished, professional final magazine.
Development Diaries
Simran is working on her final major project to create advertisements for a fictional female artist. She has been researching different types of advertisements such as magazine covers, posters, and album covers. Simran found samples from magazines and album covers from the 1980s to help with her research. She selected three popular musicians to research further and looked at their photography portfolios online. Simran is still working on finding a model and location for her photoshoot. She has been practicing with the camera and plans to book more time to experiment.
Reflective Diaries
Simran is working on her final major project which involves creating advertisements for a fictional female artist. She has been researching different types of advertisements like tour posters, magazine covers, and album covers. Simran found samples of these items from the 1980s in her library which provided inspiration. She has also researched photographers styles by looking at photoshoots from magazines. While Simran has made progress, she still needs to complete her research, find models for her photoshoot, practice using her camera, and update her website with her project work.
Question 7
The student has learned that planning and time management are important for organizing work and avoiding rushing. Research helped with planning their magazine concept and content. Drafting skills improved from gaining a clear vision. Photographic skills like using plain backgrounds and varied shot types improved. Editing skills in Photoshop and layout skills in InDesign developed. The student thinks they improved from the preliminary task by applying learned skills and addressing prior issues.
Final
1. The document outlines a coursework assignment to produce elements of a print magazine, including a front cover, contents page, and double-page article spread.
2. Research was conducted on existing music magazines to inform design choices. Elements like consistent branding and a balance of images and text were noted.
3. A mock music magazine was produced following the researched conventions, including a front cover featuring an original band photo, a contents page with photos and article previews, and a double-page interview article spread. Original photos were taken and image editing software was used to prepare the elements.
Q7
The student learned several important skills for improving images and magazine layout while progressing from a preliminary college magazine task to a full music magazine product:
1) How to use levels to improve overall image quality and properly lighten or darken areas.
2) How to use the spot healing tool to remove unwanted elements and make images look more polished.
3) The importance of planning photography in advance to have suitable high-quality cover photos and coordinate pages.
4) How to do research on other magazines' conventions to guide design choices like appropriate shots, pull quotes and professional appearance.
Evalautoion
The student created a magazine targeting younger children ages 7-15. They used bright colors, many images, and photos of young pop stars to attract this audience. The student researched other magazines like "We Love Pop" for inspiration on layout, colors, and content. They learned Photoshop skills like editing photos, spot healing, and using tools. The student would feel confident using these skills again and has improved since their preliminary task.
Question 7
The document discusses how the author managed various aspects of creating a magazine project. They learned important time management skills for equipment like cameras. They also learned to effectively manage models by having backups in case the original models were unavailable. Managing deadlines and allocating shoots over multiple days were also challenges that required time management. Researching the target audience helped influence decisions like only featuring one person on the cover and including both up-and-coming and famous artists. Locations, costumes, props, and drafts were also discussed in terms of the management and creative choices made for the magazine.
Evaluation - Question 7
The student learned many skills from completing the preliminary task that helped in constructing their final magazine product. They gained experience with Photoshop tools and magazine layout and design. Researching existing magazines helped the student understand conventions and what attracts different target audiences. The preliminary task showed how much the student had improved in using Photoshop and creating a professional magazine.
Q7
Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
Evaluation – part 7
The student felt they learned more from creating their music magazine compared to their college magazine. For the college magazine, they had less creative control and time due to restrictions. However, they gained experience using design tools. For the music magazine, the student had more freedom and time for in-depth research, planning, and organization. They improved their photo shooting, layout design, and time management skills. Overall, the extra creative control and time allowed the student to produce a higher quality final product for their music magazine.
College Magazine Evaluation
Holly evaluated their college magazine photography and use of design software. The photography could have been improved with better angles, lighting and focus. Photos were often cut off or too dark. Learning software like Photoshop and InDesign was challenging but helped advance the magazine. Editing photos and designing pages was difficult at first due to unfamiliar tools. Overall, Holly was pleased with their first attempt but felt the photography, design, and use of space could be improved for a more professional magazine.
Evaluation 7 final
The student has learned many improvements in photography, design, and magazine production from their preliminary school magazine task to the final magazine product. Specifically:
1) Their photography skills improved through learning techniques like depth of field, lighting, framing models effectively, and using Photoshop tools.
2) The design of the magazine improved by using more professional fonts, strategically placing cover lines, and designing a contents page influenced by existing magazines.
3) Their overall knowledge of magazine elements like page count, layout, and price improved to create a more polished final magazine.
Evaluation Questions
The document discusses the design and target audience of a student-created music magazine called "Fushion Chamber." It notes that the masthead is positioned down the side rather than at the top to stand out. Photos were chosen to represent indie styles and give a professional look. The intended audience is described as indie/rock loving teenagers, especially teenage girls, as the magazine focuses on fashion and free downloads. The language and images are aimed at attracting this demographic.
Question 7
The document compares the student's preliminary magazine project to their final magazine project. For the preliminary magazine, the student did minimal research by only looking at other student examples. However, for the final project the student did extensive research by analyzing professional magazines in the same genre. This helped with ideas, flat plans, and understanding their target audience. The preliminary magazine photos and layout were basic, while the final project photos were professionally shot with props and planned poses. The final magazine cover had more sell lines and the contents page had better balance and organization. Overall, the student learned important skills in research, planning, production and design that improved the quality and professionalism of their final magazine project.

Analysis of front cover
Rolling Stone magazine establishes a consistent house style across its covers through similar layouts and positioning of elements like the masthead and text. A close-up or midshot image of an artist is always used on the cover to elicit more emotion from readers compared to a long shot. This consistent visual style allows readers to immediately recognize a Rolling Stone cover. The language used on covers also varies depending on the artist, with more informal terms used for rock musicians while formal language is employed for others like Adele.
Feature artical analysis
The document provides an analysis of double page spreads in NME magazine featuring Lily Allen and Linkin Park. It notes that Lily Allen's enlarged foreground image takes up 50% of the page to emphasize her status as a popular figure. Similarly, Linkin Park's background image serves to highlight the band. Both spreads follow conventions like placing the image on the right side and headlines on the left. However, Linkin Park's image breaks from the "rule of thirds" composition guideline. The document analyzes design choices like size, placement, and layout to convey meanings about the artists and catch readers' attention.
Question 4
The document discusses the target audience for a hip hop magazine. It would primarily target males aged 16-25 from lower to middle income backgrounds. Specifically, the audience would be 70% male, with 29% of the audience being 21-25 years old. The magazine would use slang terms to appeal to younger readers and distance itself from older generations. It aims to target "Aspirers, Explorers and Mainstreamers," who have median incomes between £37,043 to £39,358, rather than higher income "Reformers." Careful profiling of the audience by demographics, interests, and spending power is important to ensure the magazine appropriately represents and appeals to its target readers.
Contents Page Screenshots
The document discusses the layout and design choices for a magazine contents page. The contents page uses a simple two-color design of green and black, which are the staple colors of the magazine, to appear professional without being overcomplicated. Larger text is used for the word "CONTENTS" and "FEATURES" to make those sections stand out. A green box is added around the date to make it more noticeable. Photos were added of featured artists to generate interest in purchasing copies of the magazine.
Double Page Spread Screenshots
The document discusses the design choices made for a double page magazine spread profile on artist SANKAA. Key elements included a close-up shot of the artist on one page to represent him as the focus, bold text to draw attention to the headline, and grey colors matching the artist's hoodie to avoid visual disturbance. Additional text was added to sub-headings and the front image was changed to ensure consistency and avoid confusion. Standard techniques for double page spreads like close-up shots and filled-out space were used within the constraints of representing the artist and magazine brand.
Plan for article and draft article
The document outlines a plan for creating an article and draft article for a magazine. The plan includes guidelines for layout, such as centering the headline and justifying the text. Consistency of formatting across articles is also emphasized, including consistent text size and color. The draft article will follow the plan, featuring a large image taking up half the page alongside the article text. A well-known artist will be the subject to attract readers and potential customers to the new magazine.
Masthead designs
The document discusses important factors to consider when designing a magazine masthead, including color scheme, alignment, text, and name. It states that the masthead is the most important aspect as it represents the magazine and can attract or deter readers. The color scheme and alignment are particularly key, as colors should complement each other and the genre while alignment needs to be neat and professional. The text size and style also needs to relate to the target audience and genre. Finally, the masthead name should be relevant to the magazine's subject, hip hop in this case, while avoiding slang terms that may date quickly.
Magazine inspiration
The document discusses aspects of magazine design that the author intends to emulate in their own magazine. This includes aligning the masthead according to conventions seen in other magazines to look professional. Text size and font will also follow examples that connote power and hardness, fitting the hip hop genre. Photos will use mid or close-up shots from eye-level as most magazines do to show power. Double page spreads will have half covered in an image and the other half with a headline and article below, as is typical. Conventions from other magazines will be adopted to make the author's magazine look perfect.
Image
The document discusses planning for photos for the front cover and double page spread of a hip hop magazine. It notes that front cover images are typically mid-close ups while double page spreads use mid shots. Location, artist, costumes, props, and lighting must all be carefully considered to effectively represent the hip hop genre through iconography and convey the intended message without confusing readers. Front lighting cannot be too bright or too dark to ensure high image quality while maintaining associations with hip hop culture.
Audience profile
The magazine will target 16-25 year olds, mainly targeting males, who have an interest in hip hop music. It will focus on the lower and middle classes as hip hop is most prominent within these social structures. While it will target all races, it will put more focus on black people given their dominance in the hip hop genre. The magazine aims to profile new and upcoming hip hop artists.

NANOTECHNOLOGY IN FOOD PACKAGING (FOOD TECHNOLOGY)
NANOTECHNOLOGY IN FOOD PACKAGING (FOOD TECHNOLOGY)
Question 7
- 1. Question 7 Evaluation Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel that you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product? My magazine production took a few weeks to create, since I had 3 different pages to complete. When creating and completing all 3 pages, I made numerous amount of mistakes leading to the final product although it was costly it made my product aesthetics much better. Cropping was my main issue when creating my magazine; sometimes the crop would be too rough causing the image to look terrible. I only corrected this mistake by using the tools a lot more, and learning solutions to my mistakes. In my preliminary magazine, you can see the poor masthead which is not cropped properly as you can see colour from the preliminary image. This is a sharp contrast from my magazine, although you can argue the crop on the front image is not fantastic but it is great for an Amateur who has little knowledge in Photoshop. If you gave me the same image to crop when I had started my preliminary cover, the outcome would be very different as my knowledge of Photoshop won’t be as good to the point where it is now. One other point is the quality of the shot; the difference in quality is evident. If you asked a random individual what is the main difference about the front image? More than likely the first thing they’ll say is the quality of photo. Although this could be down to the camera used, I believe other factors affected the outcome of my magazines. In my latest magazine, I understood the risks of taking a photo outside as the lighting could affect the picture quality. In contrast to my current magazine, where I took the photo indoors to not affect the picture quality meaning I wouldn’t have had to use Photoshop tools to correct the lighting and this is always risky. I never really followed the convention of a front image before, when taking a photo I wouldn’t think of the impact the photo would have on connotations. Mise en Scene is a combination of many features, NVC is part of Mise en Scene and this feature demands facial expressions. My magazine inspiration was Hip Hop famous magazine XXL, and I conformed too many of their ideas and one was NVC. This feature helps to signify what the magazine is focusing on, in my preliminary cover there was little, to no NVC and this made the models look like they were just standing there; however in my latest front cover, the NVC is strong, powerful which links to the genre of Hip Hop. Continuity was the same in both covers. Although in my latest covers, the clothing changed as this is a typical feature of a magazine. As there is only one page in my preliminary cover, there is not too
- 2. much continuity as there were no props just costume which was suits. I realised at both stages continuity was important, and if there is no continuity the magazine can look very amateurish as the reader will just have the view that the author just rushed his work without any consideration. In my latest pages, such as in my double page spread you can see the continuity of street wear which is a typical convention of Hip Hop. Health and Safety is an issue for all magazines of all genres. The real worry of safety came when we were taking photos as we didn’t want to fall or slip. When taking a photo, I took the precaution of only taking photos where I felt comfortable and not where I feel I can get hurt. Another worry was drinking near the computers, if I spilt some fluids on the computer the computer could overrun and collapse causing sparks to fly out and this may end in a fire or a burn. This means whenever I was drinking a fluid, I made sure it wasn’t near a computer and it was out of harm’s way. I only needed fellow students for photos for my magazine. My management of my fellow pupils went alright; even though it could have gone better I still think it was a great learning experience. When taking photos, I asked a fellow student to get dressed and then I’ll ask them to stand the way I wanted and several photos will be taken this way so I have a variety of options to choose from. I used YouTube as a resource, but this was mainly for Photoshop work in learning how to do certain functions. I would use these told whenever possible, if I needed help with a tool I would search it up on YouTube. Before I started creating my magazine, I had a plan in my head of how things should turn out. The people I wanted to feature in magazine were featured; I managed these people by asking them days before the shoot so I had conformation that they were doing it. On the day, I just asked the people before to get ready and the shoot happened like that. However I had to repeat the shoot many times, due to the photos not looking like it should but the process of asking before hand was done the same before every shoot. Costume was done a similar process like how I managed my models, I asked my models if they had any Hip Hop pieces and as one did I told him to bring it in. I used three different locations when creating my magazine. My first two locations never suited the genre; however my final location was a music studio that links to my genre of Hip Hop. My final location was the place where 90% of my images came from, and managed locations by carefully thinking the connotation linked with each area. I created a plan to help me when producing my magazine. I created 3 different plans, one for the front cover, a second for the double page spread and a final for the contents page. An example of my plan, is located on the right. I went into production with a plan, as I wanted my work to be structured otherwise I will be making rash decisions. I followed my plan mostly for all pages, however there were times were changes had to be
- 3. made because the plans were only made in theory of what we had in our heads and sometimes it doesn’t always work like that. You can evidently see, I never put a name on the front image on the double page spread, although the change is minimal it still counts that I never fully followed my plan. Sometimes I had to make decisions on the spot, and most of the time this would work for the better as it allowed my creative side to come out and flourish. My time management wasn’t entirely the best, if I knew how much longer a magazine would take my work would have less rushed however I am still happy with the outcome. Since the front cover is the most important, it is very important that its full of conventions and for that reason my time management got messed up to the point I had re-calculate when my work will be finished. Although my time management wasn’t the best, it still allowed me to have a reasonable amount of time to complete each page. A success of my time management was it allowed me to go over the magazine pages a final time to correct any final mistakes and this worked out since I changed some parts of my magazine for the better.
