Evaluation Question 5
The document discusses how the author attracted and addressed their intended audience through the design of the magazine's front cover, contents page, and a double-page spread. On the front cover, the author used a slang title, bold text, and an image of a model in genre-appropriate clothing to appeal to a younger audience interested in chart music. The contents page highlighted key articles using subheadings and incorporated many images of popular artists alongside minimal text. The double-page spread featured an enlarged artist name covering 1/3 of the page alongside a full-page image and condensed text to appeal to the target audience through less reading.
Evaluation 5
The document discusses how the magazine cover and contents page attract and address the intended audience. On the cover, the slang title, bold text, model photo reflecting the genre, and names of popular artists in large font grab attention. The contents page uses sub-headings to summarize key features, images of well-known artists to highlight articles, and a layout with many images and little text to appeal to a younger audience. The double-page spread enlarges artist names and uses a single large image to condense writing and attract readers while maintaining a tidy look.
Analysing contents pages
This document analyzes the contents pages of three music magazines: Q, Billboard, and Q again. It finds that they all follow typical conventions for magazine contents pages, including: having a large central image related to the main feature; smaller additional images and their corresponding page numbers; section headings and subheadings to categorize articles; listings of articles alongside their page numbers; placement of the magazine title; and consistency in house style colors, fonts and layout throughout the issue. The document examines how these conventions help make the contents pages visually appealing, informative, and easy for readers to navigate.
Content magazine
The document summarizes the design elements of the content page for a magazine focused on heavy metal/rock music. It describes the house style with bold red, black, and yellow colors and a white background representing the genre. Fonts used for titles and sections are bold and capitalized to stand out. Images on the content page represent the heavy metal genre and information is organized to make finding pages of interest easier. The target audience is fans of heavy metal/rock music and various artist images are included to attract them.
Evaluation q5
The document discusses how the magazine attracts and addresses its target folk punk audience. Key features included a masthead with a traditional black and white font matching audience expectations, photographs of people playing music matching the reader profile, green colors associated with folk genres, and a layout similar to other music magazines appearing professional. The price was also meant to attract readers by being cheaper than comparable magazines. Songwriting tips and advertising an outdoor folk festival addressed the audience's interests in community and outdoor lifestyles.
Evaluation
The document discusses the creator's R&B music magazine project. It summarizes that the front cover features a single artist, like Vibe magazine, to clearly identify the main focus. The content page includes a large image and brief descriptions to entice readers without distraction, following conventions. However, the creator inverts the layout by placing text over the bottom of the image rather than around it for a different approach.
Existing content pages
This content page contains a lot of information presented in columns on the right side instead of the typical left side placement. Large central images draw attention, and arrows pointing to other pages encourage reading. Dark colors lend a genre-appropriate mood. The next page has less text and columns for a minimal look, with coordinating colors and a model in an unusual pose suggesting a unique magazine. The title "MOJO" is also unusual. The final page contains more images that may appeal to non-readers, with rock-genre cues from dark colors and models. Quotes make the content more personal, and images instead of columns have page numbers for uniqueness.

The document summarizes the textual analysis of various elements of a magazine's layout, including the front cover, contents page, and a double-page spread. Key points include:
- The front cover uses a low-key main image against a bright color palette to attract female readers. The masthead is in a sans serif font to appeal to stereotypical female audiences.
- The contents page has a neutral layout with stereotypical colors for its target demographic. Images relate to interior content and are positioned staggered between text.
- The double-page spread follows conventions with a large cover image and column of text between two images to separate content and engage readers visually.
Evaluation Question 1
The document discusses various conventions used in magazine design and how the media product challenges or follows these conventions. For the front cover, conventions like the masthead placement, sell lines, and imagery are both followed and challenged. The contents page includes features columns, page numbering, and images as per conventions. The double page spread utilizes anchor text, columns of text, and full-page images as seen in magazines like Q and NME.

Question 1
The document discusses conventions used in magazine design. It summarizes how the author structured their magazine cover, contents page, and article page based on conventions from the rock magazine Kerrang!. While following typical conventions like layout, colors and images, the author also challenged some conventions by including inappropriate language on the cover and strange images to appeal to their target rock audience. The author based their work on existing rock magazine conventions like those used in Kerrang! to engage their intended readership.
Codes and conventions contents
The document provides examples of codes and conventions used in magazine contents pages and double page spreads. It analyzes magazines like Country Weekly, NME, Billboard, Maverick, and Q. Some common conventions highlighted include using large prominent images, consistent color schemes, bold text for key information, separating sections clearly, and drawing attention to main articles. Maintaining a magazine's house style and using techniques like direct address, pull quotes, and drop caps helps engage readers.

The layout is described as well-organized with regular columns and sections, uniform fonts, and titles that emphasize the Q brand through repetition and alliteration.
Codes and conventions
The document discusses codes and conventions commonly used on music magazine front covers. It notes that magazines typically use hermeneutic codes to intrigue audiences, bold mastheads in capitals, close-up or mid-shot images of artists to create personal relationships with readers, large bold text anchoring images, varied colors and fonts to attract attention, and bold subtitles to engage readers. The document provides examples from specific magazine covers to illustrate these typical design elements and techniques.

Surrey Life Analysis
This document summarizes and analyzes the codes and conventions used in the January 2014 edition of Surrey Life magazine published by Archant. It notes that the magazine logo is prominently displayed in white in a traditional font at the top center of the front cover. The cover line "Get set for 2014" written in yellow suggests the main topic is preparing for the new year. Additional details and topics are featured on the front cover in red text and separate images. The contents page displays topics in sections and uses a mixture of traditional and serif fonts alongside images. Advertisements also use images and colors that tie in with the regional focus and overall design of the magazine.
Question 1
This document summarizes how the media product uses and develops conventions of real music magazines.
The masthead, cover image, headline, and cover lines follow conventions by using attention-grabbing fonts and colors. However, the headline is not centered. The contents page uses a neat column layout and continues the theme's fonts and colors.
The article headline stands out against the text with a different color and font. A pull quote and body text in an easy-to-read font also follow conventions. While the article image is atypical by not matching the cover, additional images provide context and make the star seem accessible. Small details like an Instagram screenshot further develop realism.
Magazine write up question 1
The document discusses how the author has used, developed, and challenged conventions in creating a music magazine.
For the cover, the author followed conventions from Rolling Stone magazine by molding text around the cover artist and including an "exclusive" banner.
For the contents page, the author was inspired by NME magazine and included section headings and images.
For the article, the author combined conventions from Kerrang and Rock Sound magazines, including a large pull quote and separated columns.
Some challenges to conventions included not having direct eye contact on the cover, including a thumbnail of the cover on the contents page, and placing text in non-traditional locations within the article.

Individual magazines also have distinct styles, like Fader using minimalist typography, Vibe centering around large cover artist images, and XXL employing pull quotes and lighting techniques to attract readers. Overall, the contents pages aim to tease readers into specific stories using visual cues and consistent branding elements.

Research task 3d analysis of own magazine similarites between 3 parts
- 1. Similarities • Colour scheme of red yellow and blue – This is to keep the house style consistent throughout the magazine and the bright colours make the pages eye catching, as well as the magazine representing the bold loud nature of the music inside, due to the rock sub- genre, therefore giving them magazine a unique branding. • The main feature and story line of Gerard way – This is to show the main feature of the magazine which would appeal to the audience interested in rock music, so keeps them interested in the magazine throughout. • Titles in capitalised, larger and coloured font – This is to make them stand out instantly to the target audience, and know what content the page will show, as well as making the page appear more dynamic and appealing. • Text in sans serif – This is to keep a simple and standard font of text and follow the conventions of serif and sans serif text in magazines • Use of Images – This gives the audience something else to look at other than text on a page, which keeps them interested and adds to the format of the page, using up more space and so makes it look better presented. • Use of captions on images – These tell the target what is going on in the image. • Main image – The main image is the main focus of each page, so gives the target audience an image that would appeal to them to look at straight away, drawing in their attention more and making them want to read about them, as they are all anchored with an article. • Informal and colloquial mode of address to audience – This makes it more relatable to the younger age range and working class lifestyle of the target audience, therefore creates a good relationship between the audience and the magazine, engaging them further.
