The document discusses adhering to and challenging conventions in magazine design for a pop genre magazine. It describes using typical layouts, color schemes, and graphic elements commonly seen in pop magazines. However, it also aims to create a unique edge by using a gender-neutral band as the focus, atypical facial expressions and poses, and an interview-style article that subverts expectations. The goal is to engage the target teenage audience while putting a fresh spin on typical pop magazine conventions.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2. My main image is off my
models standing in a
straight line which allows
a clear front cover format.
I have used the same
layout so that there is a
clear layout. What I’ve
done differently is that
the posters are all the
lower tier.
The border of the
posters effect, has
been copied to make
them stand out and
helps enforce the idea
that they are posters.
The use of colloquial language
has been used in my magazine
so that the language is
understood by my intended
target audience
stereotypically/conventionally. House style colour
scheme: Main three are
pink, blue and yellow.
These summer colours
have connotations to fun
so they are
conventionally used in
pop magazines.
Adhering to genre conventions, I have used multiple
typography and allowed them to support cover lines. The
basis of my typography is the typography itself but what
makes it distinctive is the embevel effect. The white border
that assists the coverline makes it creates a connotation
association to the genre of pop.
The strapline and date release
are situated with the masthead
which makes it easier for
audiences navigation, of the
front covers page.
A puff has been used to
emphasise the price value. I
have used a puff to advertise a
competition opportunity. The
way the Primark logo is used, is
how I’ve established that the
competition prise is to do with
one direction. The typography
or brand awareness will stand
out to my intended target
audience.
The posters are smaller in
comparison to the main image.
The main image is the most
important aspect of the front
cover because it promotes the
main article which will appeal
to intended target audience.
A gradient tool is used for the
background so that the colour isn’t a
solid colour. Like this background
colour, I used the same white/grey and
pink shade to adhere to colour scheme
conventions.
The masthead uses
conventional colour so
that’s why I changed it’s
colour to pink instead of
dark yellow.
The embellishment, allows
attention to be drawn to the
main images cover story.
Taking inspiration, I used
shapes to present the artist
name and created a synergy
between the front cover and
double page spread story.
3. Develop- Subverting and adhering to conventions
I have taken inspiration for the
corner coverline exclusive. To
create an indifference, I have
changed the language to
make it a different type of
coverline that reveals more
information about its contents.
The typography has also been
matched to the coverline. I
have done this in order to
create consistency between
the smaller coverline stories
whilst embeveling the
typography so that it creates a
3D effect on the page.
The main image has inspired
my main image due to “mise en
scene” posture and facial
expressions. Little mix have
childish/ happy/ fun facial
expressions which creates
connotational conveyance to
the fun aspect of the pop genre.
Further facial expression analysis: I have created a gender mutual band which subverts
the conventions of the pop genre. The way in which facial expressions and body language
has to also stay gender neutral. Likewise, Little Mix are focused into a tight frame.
4. Challenge: subverting conventions of the pop genre which creates a unique edge
The main way I challenged conventions was by
making a gender neutral band. I chose two girls
and two boys so that they all can have a role to
play within the band. My idea is most
commonly used for indie bands but the band
Only the young has been able to create a new
side to pop.
My masthead/ name for my pop magazine
can be seen to have indie connotations but to
keep the adherence to pop, I adhered to the
color scheme and used typography that
creates association with artist stars. That’s
why I have used a star embellishment. My
target audience is younger teenage, 11-16
years, so that’s why the front cover uses
abstract shapes. This creates a different edge
to my magazine which makes it look more like
a scrapbook.
Facial expressions adheres to the
conventions of pop but to keep the gender
neutral band idea, each band member
portray an individual aspect of character.
The facial expressions are relevant because
I want my intended target audience to be
able to clearly notice my magazine genre
without having to read the magazine in
depth.
The coverline which supports the main image is a slight
challenge from conventions. The subject topic isn’t
revolved around celebrity crushes or the life story about
the artists. Instead, the coverline uses a written hotseat
to demonstrate individual character. In addition the
audience know its facts because what has been said is
from the band members.
5. Use: adhering to conventions of the Pop genre
Used a similar layout.
I have copied the
idea of a bold
headline typography
and copied the idea
of use of language.
Instead of calling my
contents page,
contents page, I used
language which has
connotations to a
gossip edge. I have
copied the use of
ellipses but used the
date positioning
above the ellipses to
create a tight format.
I have noticed that an editorial note is
featured. Here, I have learnt how to use
the right register to write an
advertisement note for the intended
target audience to read.
Pop magazines conventionally use
a lot of posters to increase
magazine value so I have used
Photoshop tools to create my own
posters.
The editorial sign of has
inspired my sign off because I
like the idea of creating an
informal friendly approach
towards my intended target
audience.
For my house styles color
scheme, I have used the
same three main colors
however I have used more
summer convocational
shades.
The use of shapes creates
an abstract scrapbook
edge which has
connotations to a gossip
diary. I have used this idea
but used a Star shape to
create association with my
magazine title, “Rising
star.”
I have used a pull quote as a coverline to create a
gossip edge to the possible coverline. The pull quote is
short and snappy however it will entice my intended
target audience.
6. Develop- Subverting and adhering to conventions
Considering
typography, I
have used a
larger variation.
I have used
bold typography
to draw
attention to the
individual
coverline.
For additional
coverlines, I have
used colloquial
language. For
consistency, I
have kept within
the color
scheme.
For the extra images, which makes up coverline
stories, I have included a border and a drop shadow
on my images. The glow effect makes the images pop
out the page which allows the focus to be shifted
towards the coverline. I have also played with the
words so that it stays within the given column but
creates a new dynamic to the page. I have used serif
font because the font will be enlarged so the language
is still interpretable. In addition, serif font has
connotations to feminine calligraphy due to the use of
curled typography.
Conventional pop magazines either have a green screened
background or a plain background. I have used shape tools
and calligraphy typography to create a new edge to my
additional posters. The colors has adhered to the pop genre
and my color scheme. For the signature sign off, I have used
typography that looks written so it becomes a poster with
increased value to my intended target audience due to its
feature.
7. Challenge: subverting conventions of the pop genre which creates a unique edge
“Mise en scene,” facial expressions and body language
creates a new edge to my pop magazine. Conventional
facial expressions and body language include a simile
smile and standing in a straight line. To challenge the
convention, I have thought more of facial expressions
and body language to connotates to a fun/ wild aspect.
The significance is that pop magazines are made to
entertain and breaks the barrier between audience and
celebrity so the context of the coverlines will be seen as
entertaining because of the combination of facial
expressions, body language and coverline text support.
8. Use: adhering to conventions of the Pop genre
The idea of the pull quote being the title but I
created an semantic association with the context
within the double page story.
It’s conventional to have a busy
double page spread layout however,
the layout is expected to have
concise columns.
The way the shape is placed slanted is what
I used for my media magazine. It creates a
new style to my magazine and my headline/
pull quote fits perfectly within.
The idea of using a ribbon and the different typography fonts have been
inspired by this. I tried the same ribbon effect but it didn’t look as effective as
what I chose finally. Inside the ribbon, I didn’t want the words to be put in a
straight line so I I enlarged and italics the bands name, “Young Parody,” and
used the same typography as the page numbers for the tour name and “The
who hotseat,” type of article. The typography for “Young Parody,” has also
been used on my front cover which enforces/ begins to build brand awareness.
The way in which the gradient tool is used
adheres to my house style. I have created
consistency between my front cover,
contents and double page spread by
using the same shades of white and pink.
This is a conventional aspect of all
magazine genres.
The way in which the questions are highlighted, I have
used the same idea however I have changed the
typography colors of the text spoken by the boys in blue
and for the girls pink. Each gender has a connotations color
whilst keeping within the colour scheme.
9. Develop- Subverting and adhering to conventions
I have used the idea of a bottom strip but instead of having
context such as tour information, I have used the space to
add page numbers.
The use of love hearts has helped me create clear
sections of where to put my question numbers.
Instead of boxing of band members responses, I have
created the same ripple effect but sectioned of within
columns.
My Strapline uses language that will appeal interest to
my intended target audience. The language used has a
gossip flair and also endorses my band.
My exclusive reminds me of newspaper
typography. I have used the word exclusive
but I have embeveled it and included a
drop shadow effect so that it doesn’t go un
noticed. The embelishment around has
been inspired by the headline.
10. The conventional subject stories of pop
magazines often including articles on
dating gossip or factual information
about the artists. However, I have
challenged the conventions by creating
a double page spread story called the
who hotseat. It uses short snappy
questions, in the form of an interview, to
ask such questions such as celebrity
crushes and best stage moment. I
believe this way of writing an article
creates an entertaining tone which will
appeal to my intended target audience.
Challenge: subverting conventions of the pop genre which creates a unique edge
