The document discusses conventions for designing a music magazine cover using Photoshop and InDesign. It mentions using the rule of thirds to align the main image in a comfortable area to catch the audience's eye. It also discusses using taglines to fill space and provide details about the magazine's contents. Combining faces from two creatures in the image would be a challenging aspect of photo manipulation. The cover could represent a particular social group by showing an artist around the same age as the target audience.

Evaluation Question 1
The document discusses how an indie music magazine product uses, develops, and challenges conventions of real magazines.
To use conventions, it mimics the minimal color schemes of magazines like NME, using bright primary colors on the cover and inside pages.
To develop conventions, it takes the chatty style of magazines and expands it by adding local slang and colloquialisms from Manchester to better connect with the target youth audience from that city.
To challenge conventions, the double page spread has a more personal layout with smaller Polaroid photos rather than a stiff geometric style, and includes an intimate sidebar using rhetorical questions to directly engage the reader in a way not seen in other magazines.
Photoshop exercise
The document describes a Photoshop exercise where the student was challenged to create the front cover of a magazine. They chose to recreate the cover of Vogue magazine. They gathered an image of Marilyn Monroe and edited it in Photoshop, making her lips red and giving her a cartoon effect. They layered the original and edited images to create a before and after effect. They also added text describing the magazine contents. For their poster, they screenshot the magazine cover and added red and black text above and below to promote the issue's release date.
Clash Magazine Double-Page Spread Analysis
The double page spread features a photo of an artist who is not looking at the camera and is in shadow. This could indicate that he wants to remain unknown or is shy, as the article may be introducing him and his work to readers. The simple layout places the image on the left and text on the right, allowing readers to view the artist while learning about him. The magazine uses a consistent font throughout and a simple color scheme of black, white, and green, which ties together the spread and matches the color of the artist's shirt, giving the pages a cohesive theme.
Question 1 conventions
The document discusses how the media product uses, develops, and challenges conventions of real magazines. It follows many conventions: the masthead stretches the page width like real magazines; images are edited to fit the genre and mise-en-scene; cover lines are positioned in the left and right thirds with the main line over the main image. The color scheme uses a typical three color palette to fit the rock genre. The strapline is positioned at the top to grab attention and uses colors from the palette. The only challenge is the double page text, which alternates image and text positioning and uses a question and answer format.
Question 1 conventions
The document discusses how the media product uses, develops, and challenges conventions of real magazines. It summarizes that the masthead, images, and cover lines follow typical magazine conventions. The text on the double page spread challenges conventions by alternating image and text placement.

The strapline follows conventions by being attention-grabbing and using colors from the magazine's palette.

These conventions include images, fonts, advertisements, reviews, lessons, and a structured layout. The magazine represents social groups like "Indie" and "Emo" through the genres of metal, indie, rock, punk and jazz. A suitable distributor would be a company like Future Publishing that distributes similar music magazines. The target audience is mature teens and people who like the focused genres of music or playing instruments. The student attracted this audience by using conventions from successful magazines to portray what their magazine contains.

Evaluation: Question 1
In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
Evaluation question 2
Tim McMorrow's magazine represents the rock genre and social groups through the images featured. The model is portrayed acting in a way that helps represent rock, though the magazine's color palette relates to other music genres as well. Most images use high-key lighting from one source on the model to tell a story about his past through his facial expressions and shadow. The magazine also represents social groups through the language used in the text and by featuring mostly young male models aged 17-25, fitting the stereotypical audience. The model's suit without a blazer, though still smartly dressed, maintains a rebellious look common in rock magazines.
Photoshop exercise

For a poster, they screenshot the magazine cover and added red and black text above and below to advertise the issue's release date.
Evaluation question 1
The document discusses how the media product, a magazine, uses and develops conventions from the real rock music magazine Q.
It uses bold serif and sans serif fonts on the cover to separate the headline from other text, mimicking Q's technique. The main cover image features a young artist to appeal to younger readers, as Q does. Dark colors are used on the cover and throughout to represent the rock genre, as with Q, but high-key lighting is used on photos atypical of rock.
The layout takes influences from Q like separating information with bars and highlighting page numbers, but uses circles instead of squares for a more informal look. Only two photos are used rather than several to prevent clutter.
Music magazine evaluation
The document summarizes the student's music magazine project. It discusses how the magazine uses conventions from real media products such as unique typography and central cover images. It describes targeting the magazine at people aged 16-24 and representing them through urban styles and bold, informal design. The student proposes using both physical and digital distribution including IPC Media and online/subscription options to attract their target audience. The student concludes they have learned skills in Photoshop and Publisher and how to apply conventions like three-column text layouts from researching magazines like Vibe.
Media Studies
Matt created a magazine to emulate professional conventions. He made the masthead big and recognizable to create a brand. The selling line under the title informs readers of the content without being too detailed. The tilted cover image and counter tilted cover line add interest. The magazine targets a young working class audience through music, clothing and brand reviews they can relate to. It aims to attract fans of the featured Leeds festival through a review and competition.
Task 1 + 2
The document analyzes the front cover of the rock music magazine Kerrang. It finds that the magazine uses sans serif fonts to give it a harder, rocker look. Black, white, yellow and red colors are used conventionally for the rock genre. Images of famous rock artists like Kurt Cobain are featured to appeal to readers. The cluttered layout follows design principles to draw the eye and showcase content. The language is informal to match the target audience. Overall, the cover design closely follows conventions of rock music magazines.

The document discusses conventions used on the front covers of real media magazines and how the designer applied and adapted these conventions in their own jazz magazine cover design. Some of the key conventions discussed include:
- Having a large masthead at the top of the cover that represents the magazine brand. The designer used a masthead design that resembles jazz instruments to reflect the genre.
- Employing color schemes that complement the magazine content and branding. The designer used a black and white scheme based on user feedback and included accent colors related to the cover image.

The document discusses conventions used on the front covers of real media magazines and how the designer applied and adapted these conventions in their own jazz magazine cover design. Key conventions discussed include:
1. Using a large masthead at the top of the page, with the main image overlapping or below it. The designer followed this by placing their masthead above the main image.
2. Incorporating design elements in the masthead that reflect the genre, like the slide of a trombone. The designer included letters resembling jazz instruments.
3. Employing complementary color schemes, like the blue and gold used in the example magazine. The designer used a black and white scheme with accent colors matching the main image.
Blog work evaluation
My music magazine aimed to follow conventions of the genre but also challenged them at times. It used a vintage lifestyle magazine as an example of conventions, such as placing the title at the top of the page. My magazine challenged conventions by putting the tagline above the title rather than below, and locating the main headline in the bottom center rather than the top. It also placed pricing and barcodes on opposite sides of each magazine cover image rather than following conventions.
Evaluation
Semble magazine adopts many existing conventions of real magazines, while also challenging some. It follows conventions like including a masthead in the top left corner, using pull quotes on the cover, and including a barcode in the bottom right corner. However, it challenges conventions by placing all coverlines on the bottom third instead of left and right, using a desaturated main image instead of a vibrant one, and giving the double page spread a varied design instead of matching the house style. Semble also aims to keep up with digital times by establishing an online presence on platforms like Facebook and Instagram.
Insitutes
The document evaluates potential media institutions to distribute Semble magazine. Bauer Media Group is experienced in print media but already distributes a similar magazine called Q. Time Inc. is a suitable option as it has a UK subsidiary and experience distributing a magazine similar to Semble called Uncut, though it may not want another similar title. Team Rock specializes in rock magazines but likely would not want Semble as it separates rock subgenres, unlike Semble. Based on the success of similar magazines, Time Inc. is concluded to be the best choice due to the popularity of its magazine Uncut.
Pitch
The document discusses planning for a magazine targeted at males aged 16-25 who enjoy rock music. Key points:
- The magazine will be priced at £3.99 to be affordable for its young target audience.
- Content will focus on the rock genre, which is the preferred genre of the creator and most popular in a survey.
- Different designs were considered and one was chosen based on focus group feedback preferring its layout and color scheme. Photos will give a feeling of exclusivity while demonstrating equality across features.

My magazine targets 18-30 year olds interested in indie/rock music. It develops rather than challenges conventions by using attractive imagery and focusing on a main image and content on the cover similar to other magazines.

First draft front cover analysis
The document provides an analysis of the front cover design for a magazine media product. It summarizes how the cover design both conforms to and challenges conventions of real music magazines. It conforms by using colors and layout elements typical of indie/rock magazines like NME. However, it also challenges conventions by using a less crowded layout between the styles of two example NME covers. The cover is meant to represent and attract teenage audiences interested in music and culture through the image of a teenage girl and use of music-related language.

My media product represents the electronic dance music (EDM) genre. It targets young adults aged 20-25 from working to upper class backgrounds in Western countries where EDM has gained popularity. The magazine would appeal to "explorers" interested in learning more about EDM artists they can personally relate to. I would attract this audience through competitions, featuring up-and-coming local artists, and utilizing social media platforms. In creating the magazine, I learned how to effectively use tools in Adobe Photoshop like layers, masks, and guides to replicate magazine design conventions.

1) The document discusses a music magazine created by Luke Smith for an assignment.
2) The magazine utilizes common conventions of real music magazines, such as positioning the masthead and featuring the main article on the contents page.
3) One way the magazine develops conventions is by using three medium-sized images per page rather than one large image.
4) The magazine represents indie music fans aged 16-20 by featuring solo artists playing acoustic guitars, shown casually dressed.
All evaluation questions completed
The document discusses how the media product, an indie music magazine, represents particular social groups. It notes that traditionally, indie magazines portrayed white, 16-20 year olds with a stereotypical "indie look" of glasses, tees, chinos and earrings who enjoyed music festivals. However, the summary argues it now challenges this stereotype by representing a wider range of indie music and fans beyond the typical portrayal to be more inclusive.

Luke smith
This document summarizes a student's music magazine project. The student utilized standard magazine conventions like positioning the masthead and featuring the main article on the contents page. One innovation was including three medium-sized images per page rather than one large image. The magazine represents indie artists through solo performers playing acoustic instruments casually dressed. It was designed to attract 16-20 year old audiences of both genders interested in indie music through colors, titles, articles and free gifts. The student learned desktop publishing skills in Microsoft Publisher and image editing in Fireworks and Splashup to construct the magazine. Researching other magazines helped the student understand layout conventions and the need for a consistent house style.

Evaluation Question 1
The document discusses how the media product uses conventions of real media. It provides examples from the cover page, contents page, and double page spread.
The cover page uses a masthead to show the magazine title. The contents page follows the layout convention of numbers in a separate column from page titles.
The double page spread uses conventions like a main image to show the article focus, and titles in contrasting colored boxes for readability. All parts aim to look professional and guide the audience through the magazine in familiar ways.
Mm presentation
The document summarizes a student's music magazine project. The student aimed to create a magazine that conformed to conventions of rock magazines by including things like barcodes, large images and titles, headings, and advertisements. The student included similar features on the contents page and article pages as professional magazines. The magazine represented teenagers and aspiring musicians through the images and content. The target audience was identified as males aged 14-19.
MMPresentation
Kurt Sumner created a rock music magazine that uses many traditional magazine conventions such as a barcode, large title, images, headings, and advertisements on the cover and contents page. The magazine represents teenagers and aspiring musicians through the clothing, poses, and locations in the photos. The target audience is males aged 14-19, and the magazine aims to attract them through informal design, relevant content, and photos that connect with the reader. Through making the magazine, Kurt learned how to use software like Photoshop and InDesign and improved his skills in planning and design compared to his preliminary task.
Natalie Nolan's Evaluation of her media product
The document evaluates the student's media product, which is a music magazine centered around indie/alternative rock music. The student looked at professional magazines like NME for inspiration on style and layout. Key aspects that were developed include using bold colors consistently, including a free CD as an exclusive, and challenging conventions with a non-facing cover photo. The intended audience is teenagers and young adults interested in indie/alternative rock music. Distribution may occur through IPC Media. Through the process, the student learned about technologies like Photoshop and how to properly construct a magazine to look professional.
Evaluation
This document contains feedback from an evaluation of Abbie Fowler's media magazine product. The evaluator provides feedback on several aspects of the magazine, including the use of conventions from real media products, representation of social groups, intended audience, and technologies used. The evaluator provides positive feedback on the strengths of the images used on the front cover, contents page, and interview spread.

How to Manage Your Lost Opportunities in Odoo 17 CRM
How to Manage Your Lost Opportunities in Odoo 17 CRM
Question1&2
- 1. Media Evaluation Questions 1 & 2
- 2. Matters At Hand For my Media Coursework, I had to work on creating a Music Magazine Cover. This is meant to teach me methods of using Media Tools such as Photoshop & InDesign.
- 3. Rule Of Thirds Ways that I can use the forms of conventional Media Products is the idea of the rule of third. This means having to use an invisible line that will align the main image with an area of comfort on the cover, making sure that image catches the Audience in the eye. It can also act as a way to split the Magazine Cover into separate Parts, making it easier to determine what type of information goes on each part.
- 4. TagLines Another Convention used for this would be that of Taglines, filling in every gap on the Page. This’ll make sure that I can be able to fill as much detail of what is inside the magazine and teasers for my Double Page Spread in the Shot as possible. This will make the Audience curious as to what my Magazine may contain and may choose to pick it up.
- 5. Develops & Challenges Of course, What will challenge the Forms of Media is that fact of what my Image is about. Since the Image combines the faces of two different creatures, the methods of making sure that both faces align with each other would be a very difficult challenge. However, this will help develop the Skills on Photo Manipulation and help make my Magazine stand out more from the conventional work pieces.
- 6. Representing Social Group My Media product can be used to represent particular Social Groups, by showing whoever may be in my Magazine being in the Same Age Group as my Audience.
- 7. How It’s Shown On My Cover? This can be shown on my Cover piece, since my Artist is shown to be around the 17-20 Age Area. Of course, the Miss-En-Scene that the cover represents, may give the idea of either, Rock, Metallic or Punk crowd for the Artist. This can be noted with the use of Dark clouds in the Background or the obvious outfit of her in a Black Matrix style jacket. Of course, since my Audience is mainly addressed to Indie Music, the genre of Music would possibly not matter in the Covers case.
