Evaluation: Question 7
The document discusses the process of creating a school magazine as a preliminary task to develop skills in Adobe Photoshop, with the goal of then using those skills to create a magazine cover, contents page, and spread for a music magazine. It describes considering the audience, genre, and purpose for the school magazine. It also discusses analyzing existing music magazines to understand conventions before developing the final music magazine project. Market research with surveys was also conducted to ensure the final music magazine would meet the needs of the target audience.
Question 1
My final media products were designed for a dance and club music audience. I researched magazines like Mix Mag and DJ Magazine to understand suitable layouts and connect with my target audience's interests. I used a vibrant, nightlife-inspired color scheme featuring the colors from my "Rush" logo across all products to attract attention. These colors aligned with the photoshoots to seem youthful and exciting. Page numbers added continuity to appear like real media. I featured the same model on the cover and double page spread to avoid confusion, while using different images on the contents page to showcase additional artists and events. Overall, the consistent logo, information, and colors across all pages made the products resemble a real magazine.
Evaluation q 7
My preliminary school magazine contents page and cover lacked planning and attention to detail, containing errors and an unorganized layout. For my music magazine, I conducted research on magazine design conventions to understand how to structure pages effectively and attract audiences. This led to a vast improvement where the music magazine contents page and cover were more visually pleasing and used typography, color, and images purposefully according to their intended impact. The quality of my work increased as I learned to plan shoots and utilize the page space efficiently to tell a story through my magazine's presentation.
Evaluation question 1
The document discusses the production of a music magazine as part of an evaluation. It describes researching existing successful music magazines to inform decisions around layout, color scheme, images, and fonts. Photoshop, Fireworks, and Publisher were used to edit images and design the magazine pages. Research also helped with camera angles and photo editing to appeal to the target audience of young adults. The layout follows conventions of music magazines with an attention-grabbing cover and cluttered contents page.

Daniel Riley created a music magazine focused on the electro/house/dance genre to represent a young dance scene audience aged 18-30. He used typical magazine conventions like a front cover with barcode, issue date, price, and title. The contents page included features, an issue date, and enlarged cover image. Articles had titles, enlarged letter openings, and balanced imagery and text. Riley distributed the magazine through Bauer, a leading publisher with a gap in the dance market, targeting newsagents and supermarkets. He addressed the audience through quirky codes like paint splatters to identify with their creative, experimental lifestyle. Through creating the magazine, Riley learned new skills using Photoshop, Fireworks, and an Apple Mac.

Target audience
The document discusses appropriate target age ranges for a short film. It suggests that 18-25 year olds are a good target range as they are often students exposed to short films in courses, and are more open to discovering new types of films. It also proposes that 26-32 year olds could be interested as mature audiences who have less time but still familiarity with short films. The primary audience is thought to be students who have more opportunity and incentive to explore new media like short films due to limited income and access to technologies.
The photo shoot
The filmmakers wanted to make their short film about World War 2 as realistic as possible. They issued a World War 2 uniform and medals to the actor for a photoshoot. Several photos were deemed unusable due to issues like cut-off elements, poor lighting, or other objects in the frame. Other photos were praised for the pose, angle, and lighting, such as one looking up at the actor to convey power and one with shadowing that made his expression mysterious. The filmmakers planned to adjust lighting and retake photos to get the best shots for their poster.

Advanced Storytelling Concepts for Marketers
Every marketer knows you’re supposed to tell a story, but do you know how to tell a story? Do you know why you’re supposed to tell a story? Do you even truly know what a story is? While many marketing presentations emphasize the value of mythic storytelling, the nuts and bolts of actually constructing a story are never explored.
The goal of marketing may be to achieve specific KPIs that drive sales, which is very objective, but the top of the marketing funnel requires a softer approach. In our data-driven results-oriented fast-paced world, marketers must quantify results, but those results will never be achieved unless prospects are first approached with humanity.
There is a common misunderstanding that the so-called “soft skills” of marketing such as language and art are unmeasurable and subjective, but while the objective measures of market research are merely 100 years old, the rules of aesthetics have been perfected over the last 2,500 years.
Great story construction is a skill that requires significant knowledge and practice. This presentation will be a review of the ancient art of story construction.
We will discuss:
• Rhetoric – The art of effective communication
• The Socratic Method – You cannot teach, but you can persuade people to learn
• Plato’s Cave – You sell products, but you market ideas
• Aristotle’s Six Dramatic Elements – The secret recipe for marketing stories
This is for senior marketers who are tasked with creating effective narratives or guiding others in the process. By the end of the session, attendees will have gained the knowledge needed to work storytelling into all phases of the buyer’s journey.

From Hope to Despair: The Top 10 Reasons Businesses Ditch SEO Tactics
Are you tired of seeing your business's online visibility plummet from hope to despair? When it comes to SEO tactics, many businesses find themselves grappling with challenges that lead them to abandon their strategies altogether. In a digital landscape that's constantly evolving, staying on top of SEO best practices is crucial to maintaining a competitive edge.
In this blog, we delve deep into the top 10 reasons why businesses ditch SEO tactics, uncovering the pain points that may resonate with you:
1. Algorithm Changes: The ever-changing algorithms can leave businesses feeling like they're chasing a moving target. Search engines like Google frequently update their algorithms to improve user experience and provide more relevant search results. However, these updates can significantly impact your website's visibility and ranking if you're not prepared.
2. Lack of Results: Investing time and resources without seeing tangible results can be disheartening. The absence of immediate results often leads businesses to lose faith in their SEO strategies. It's important to remember that SEO is a long-term game that requires patience and consistent effort.
3. Technical Challenges: From site speed issues to complex metadata implementation, technical hurdles can be daunting. Overcoming these challenges is crucial for SEO success, as technical issues can hinder your website's performance and user experience.
4. Keyword Competition: Fierce competition for top keywords can make it hard to rank effectively. Businesses often struggle to find the right balance between targeting high-traffic keywords and finding less competitive, niche keywords that can still drive significant traffic.
5. Lack of Understanding of SEO Basics: Many businesses dive into the complex world of SEO without fully grasping the fundamental principles. This lack of understanding can lead to several issues:
Keyword Awareness: Failing to recognize the importance of keyword research and targeting the right keywords in content.
On-Page Optimization: Ignorance regarding crucial on-page elements such as meta tags, headers, and content structure.
Technical SEO Best Practices: Overlooking essential aspects like site speed, mobile responsiveness, and crawlability.
Backlinks: Not understanding the value of high-quality backlinks from reputable sources.
Analytics: Failing to track and analyze data prevents businesses from optimizing their SEO efforts effectively.
6. Unrealistic Expectations and Timeframe: Entrepreneurs often fall prey to the allure of quick fixes and overnight success. Unrealistic expectations can overshadow the reality of the time and effort needed to see tangible results in the highly competitive digital landscape. SEO is a long-term strategy, and setting realistic goals is crucial for success.

Question 7 evaluation
- 2. My preliminary task was to create a front cover and contents page for my school magazine and for me to then use the skills that I have just learnt there into making a front cover, contents page and double page spread for a new music magazine. In creating this we had to use Adobe Photoshop and having never used this software before, creating a school magazine was a good way to get familiar with it.
- 3. In creating the school magazine it gave us an understanding of not only the practical but what goes into making a magazine. So we had to consider things such as audience, genre, gender, and the purpose of the magazine. We also had to take photo’s so we had to understand shot types and what works best for specific magazines. In making this magazine I knew there was a lot of improvements before making my final product for a music magazine so I could pick out what I could improve on such as text six and page borders to ensure that when I make my final product, it would be much better and far more realistic.
- 4. Also, prior to creating my final product I analysed magazine covers, contents pages and articles to see what elements were key in magazine specific to music. I also looked at theorists such as Naomi Wolf, Marjorie Ferguson and Blulmer and Katz uses and gratifications. So I had a understanding of the theory, the practical and the conventions of music magazines before creating my own.
- 5. Music magazine layouts are full and packed Limited colour scheme so four at the most, along with the font types Numerous sized fonts to draw attention to specific information Terminology for features on magazines such as plugs, headers, banners. Shot types and poses House styles
- 6. The different types of content that we would see in magazines such as: Language use, e.g slang Social networking sites Photos Articles, reviews, quiz’s, competitions...
- 7. I can see a big difference between the preliminary task of creating a school magazine to the final product of a music magazine.
