Evaluation of music magazine courseworkChristmasJ1
The document evaluates a music magazine product. It summarizes how the magazine challenges conventions of real music magazines in its layout, design choices, and content. This includes placing the contents list on the left page rather than right, including coverlines and straplines for each content item, and using one large featured image rather than multiple small ones. It also discusses representing a younger, more rebellious rock genre audience and choosing a publisher like Anthem Press that focuses on the music industry.
I developed ideas from similar music magazines like Kerrang and Q magazine but also challenged conventions by changing fonts, colors, and photographic styles. Key developments included using a guitar string graphic for the masthead, changing the interview tone from formal to informal, and incorporating "Polaroid" style photos of musicians in casual clothing to appeal to a younger indie audience. Reviews of new albums were also included to engage readers and advertise for the bands. Overall, the goal was to create a magazine that represented the wild genre but with a more stylish, youthful design.

The designs are intended to be simplistic yet effective using layers, rotations, sizing, and placement of text elements.
This document summarizes the design process and decisions for a concert poster. Key elements included incorporating consistent principles while varying rotation, orientation and sizing to see which worked best. A red and black color scheme was used to attract attention while conveying warning. The header was made bolder to stand out. After experimenting, the designer preferred the header on the right for clarity. Artist names were in unique, modern fonts to appeal to younger audiences. Ticket prices were emphasized in a large red font. The layout was refined by fading text banners and using a shadow effect with red text. Social media links were made smaller. Mixing uppercase and lowercase for the date and time added visual interest while maintaining readability.
This document discusses experiments with layout and design for a fashion magazine article. It begins by using a pink and pastel color scheme with cropped face images to suggest femininity. The article is laid out in three columns. Subsequent experiments include a simplistic 5x3 grid with clean lines, wrapping text around a model silhouette, and warping overlapping text and images in multiple layers for a more abstract style appealing to younger audiences. The final design emphasizes layering cut photographs underneath text in columns of varying sizes to maintain an abstract style.

1. A step-by-step guide for making a friendship bracelet found in a craft book or girl's magazine. It uses diagrams and minimal text with bold numbering to clearly explain the process.
2. A flyer for a museum party that informs people of dates, times, prices, and music lineup. It uses a stylized digital image and lists information in varying font sizes and a bullet point format for clarity.
3. A passage from a history textbook about Alexander the Great, using images and captions to supplement in-depth textual analysis formatted into paragraphs with bolded keywords. It aims to provide reliable information through multiple sources.
The document describes the process of creating experimental portrait photographs using mixed media techniques. To create the first image, the photographer added a black and white filter to the original photograph to make facial features stand out more. Contrast and curves were also added. Newspaper print with words related to unhappiness were layered over the top portion of the face. The eyebrows, eyes, and lips were created using a collage of cut up fashion magazine pieces. For the second image, the photographer created a collage of texts related to depression, then layered newspaper print and scanography images over the original photograph. Mixed media techniques including ripped magazine strips were used to comment on breaking through stereotypes and the idea of self discovery.
This proposal discusses creating a set of 3 photographs exploring the theme of self-discovery. The photos will use scanography to portray what lies beneath people's appearances and the fronts they put up. A model will be scanned with a focus on their face and hands to represent feeling trapped. Mixed media techniques like overlaying textures will also be used to pull out facial features as part of the image's front. The photos aim to show there is more to people than meets the eye and not to judge by appearances.

I will conduct a scanography experiment on Tuesday, February 4th at 4:30pm using a scanner, black and white prints, cling film, and quotes written on paper. The experiment will involve taking close-up portrait shots of faces with different expressions and poses to select the best three images. These selected images will have color and text quotes added using additional layers of scanned cling film and paper. The goal is to experiment with different effects and layers to produce three final scanography images.
The document outlines a photography experiment to be conducted on February 3rd at 4:30pm using a camera. The experiment aims to create an image similar to a previous scanography but using a different technique. Close-up, eye-level shots will be used to show emotion in the eyes and draw the reader's attention. While the scanography will have closed eyes, the photography will show open eyes to reveal emotion through the eyes in a transparent layer over the scanography. Both black and white and colored images will be taken of posed and laughing subjects and then further developed in Photoshop using filters and photomontage techniques.
The document outlines planning details for a mixed media experiment taking place over two days at York College. Materials including felt tip pens, cellophane, acrylic paints, and textured paper will be used. The first experiment will involve using cellophane as a transparent layer and adding colored pen outlines to contrast emotions in scanned images. A second experiment will explore framing techniques and layering colored papers to create a collage-like effect.
This document discusses ideas for experimental photography projects related to self-discovery. It presents four ideas: 1) Using abandoned buildings to represent memories and history, applying filters and mixed media. 2) Combining scanography and mixed media to create portraits with hidden meanings. 3) Using light writing, reflection, and out-of-focus techniques to capture changes to city locations over time. 4) Creating a still life of sentimental travel objects, scanned with photomontage to represent rediscovery. Each idea discusses techniques like filters, textures, and overlays to convey themes of discovery, identity, and memory.
This proposal discusses creating a set of 3 photographs exploring the theme of self-discovery. The photos will use scanography to portray what lies beneath people's appearances and the fronts they put up. A model will be scanned with a focus on their face and hands to represent feeling trapped. Mixed media techniques like overlaying textures will also be used to pull out facial features as part of the image's front. The photos aim to show there is more to people than meets the eye and not to judge by appearances.
The document describes several experiments in experimental photography conducted by Charlotte Shaw. Shaw explored out-of-focus photography, capturing movement with long shutter speeds, capturing reflections, creating photomontages, light writing, using the Harris shutter app, and scanography. For each technique, Shaw explains the process, shares examples, and discusses ways the experiments could be further developed.
Ronny Engelmann is a 24-year-old German student and photo artist whose experimental photography work using techniques like Photoshop has gained recognition since 2012. His work has no single genre as he quotes "There are too many things in this world." The examples provided show overlays, composites, and manipulations that give his work a contemporary style within experimental photography.

I will conduct a scanography experiment on Tuesday, February 4th at 4:30pm using a scanner, black and white prints, cling film, and quotes written on paper. The experiment will involve taking close-up portrait shots of faces with different expressions and poses to select the best three images. These selected images will have color and text quotes added using additional layers of scanned cling film and paper. The goal is to experiment with different effects and layers to produce three final scanography images.
The document outlines a photography experiment to be conducted on February 3rd at 4:30pm using a camera. The experiment aims to create an image similar to a previous scanography but using a different technique. Close-up, eye-level shots will be used to show emotion in the eyes and draw the reader's attention. While the scanography will have closed eyes, the photography will show open eyes to reveal emotion through the eyes in a transparent layer over the scanography. Both black and white and colored images will be taken of posed and laughing subjects and then further developed in Photoshop using filters and photomontage techniques.

11. Overview;
• Additional information hints and tips on how to spice up the taste of the dish.
• Red white and blue colour scheme throughout to reflect our theme of a British afternoon
tea.
• Making sure that the text will be bullet pointed out into key steps so that its easier to
follow and understand.
• Using a sans serif font to make it clear and easy to read, as well as using a serif font for the
title to make it look traditional and in keeping with our theme.
• Making sure that we are including a photograph on both the front and back so the reader
doesn’t have to constantly turn over the page to view the photograph, and helps to make
it look more visually appealing and splits up the amount of text on the page.
• The background of the images will help portray the theme of the cards but to insure full
focus is on the food, and the background will be blurred.
