Actual completed market research of existing music magazines
This document summarizes the key findings from market research on existing UK music magazines. It identifies some of the major music magazines such as Kerrang!, Classic Rock, and NME. It then analyzes the design elements and conventions used in BBC Music Magazine and NME magazine, such as the use of columns, images, and color schemes on the front cover, contents page, and articles. The summaries highlight design choices like fonts, headings, and layouts and how they aim to effectively engage and guide the intended audience for each magazine.
Task 2 media
The document provides an analysis of the design elements used on the cover and contents page of a punk music magazine. It summarizes that the masthead font stands out to catch readers' eyes, the cracked font style reflects the magazine's brand identity. A jagged serif font for the headline creates a punk aesthetic that matches the genre of music covered. Photographs on the contents page advertise featured articles and correspond to individual stories. The minimal color scheme, use of photos and white space in a double page spread creates a clean, visually appealing layout that draws readers in without overwhelming them with large blocks of text.
Task1 nme analysis
The document summarizes the layout and design elements of a magazine cover. Key points include:
1) The masthead is in a large, bold font and bright colors to draw attention as the iconic logo.
2) A "flash" uses an informal tone to highlight news stories with catchy text.
3) The main image takes up most space and anchors the cover line, appealing to the target audience of 16-28 year olds.
4) Sections inside are clearly labeled so readers can easily find content areas like news, reviews, and features.
Contents analysis 2
This document discusses several key elements of magazine layout and design including:
1) The left and center thirds of the contents page are reserved for images related to classical music, while the right third contains text. This clear layout helps readers easily identify article placements.
2) Magazines establish recognizable house styles through consistent use of colors, fonts, and layouts across issues to brand themselves for target audiences.
3) Images and text should be relevant to the target audience, in this case classical music enthusiasts, and integrated to correspond with the genre to be recognizable to readers.
Contents analysis 2
The document discusses the layout and design elements of a magazine contents page. It describes how the page is divided into thirds, with images on the left and center columns and text on the right. Each image has a caption linking it to a featured article. Other design elements discussed include the masthead, date, page numbers, headings, and subheadings, all of which help readers navigate and understand the magazine's content. Consistency in house style and relevance to the target audience of classical music enthusiasts are emphasized.
NME and Rolling Stone front cover analysis
The document analyzes the layout, design elements, and effectiveness of the front covers of two music magazines. It discusses similarities and differences between the magazines, including the target audiences addressed, language used, genres represented, and purposes of the designs. Elements like the use of white space, model gaze, limited color schemes, barcode positioning, and adherence to design conventions are examined. Photo editing techniques on one cover, like lighting and shadow effects, are also summarized.
Contents Research
The document discusses the layout and design of contents pages from three music magazines - NME, Q, and Rock Sound. It explains that contents pages help readers navigate magazines by including subheadings that categorize articles and page numbers next to titles. Visual elements like images and fonts are used consistently across pages to create recognizable styles. Larger fonts and images highlight key articles. Advertisements and website links take advantage of the page's visibility to readers.
Lesson 5
The document provides examples and guidance for analysing the graphic elements of magazine contents pages and double page spreads. It begins by outlining the key elements to analyse for a contents page, including the title, masthead, images, sections and typeface. Examples are then provided of contents page analyses for magazines like Vibe, Billboard and Empire at different grades. Guidance is given on planning a contents page design before an example student analysis is shown. The document concludes by listing the elements to analyse for a double page spread and providing example analyses.
Question 1
The document discusses conventions of real media products like magazines and how the student's product challenges or follows those conventions. Some key conventions discussed are having a bold masthead in red, black, or white at the top, featuring the cover artist prominently on the cover, and including a contents page listing article topics. The student's masthead is longer than typical but uses a similar color scheme. Images feature the artist prominently and text is organized into columns, following conventions.
My magazine
The document discusses the conventions used in magazine design that the author's music magazine follows, such as including a model on the cover looking at the reader, using text layers for depth, and promoting offers; it also explains some conventions the magazine breaks like having the model working instead of looking at the reader. The author believes following most conventions helps the magazine be recognizable while small breaks in convention add uniqueness.
My magazine 2.0
The document provides guidelines for designing the front cover of a music magazine, comparing the conventions used in other magazines. It notes that most conventions are followed, such as using text layering, excluding text in front of the model, and using cover lines to show contents. However, it breaks from having the model look at the reader, instead showing them working, to fit the magazine's focus on music for film and TV. Sticking closely to conventions helps potential readers recognize it as a music magazine, but some breaks from convention can be justified to better represent the magazine's topic.
