The document provides an analysis of the front covers of three different music magazines: NME, Billboard, and SPIN. For each cover, key elements like the masthead, images, text, and layout are described. The target audiences for each magazine are also analyzed. NME targets teenagers and young adults interested in genres like rap and indie music. Billboard aims for teenagers to young adult females interested in mainstream chart music. SPIN's audience includes a wide range of music fans but skews slightly male between the ages of 22-34.
The document summarizes typical conventions used in music magazine layouts, including placing the main image prominently on the front cover, listing article titles and images on the contents page, and including identifying information and pull quotes within article spreads. Key elements are consistent color schemes, prominent placement of artists, and visual cues to guide readers through content.
The document analyzes and compares the contents pages of two music magazines, Q and NME. Both magazines use a three-column design that is vertically balanced and easy to read. They also follow a consistent color scheme of red, white, and black. However, Q uses more large images in its contents page to showcase stories, while NME only includes one small image and focuses more on listing band names in text. Overall, the contents pages of both magazines effectively attract their target audiences through their distinct approaches to layout, imagery, and text usage.
The document analyzes the front cover, contents, and double page spreads of the Smash Hits magazine from December 2005. It finds that the cover uses bright colors and colloquial language to appeal to its target teenage audience. The contents and articles also employ the magazine's house style colors and images of artists to look exclusive and attract readers. Overall, the document evaluates how various design elements of the magazine work to target its young female audience.
The student used various media technologies at different stages of their project on violent video games. During research, they used Google, YouTube, and mobile internet to search for existing works and information. They used Blogger to document their research and planning process by embedding videos, pictures, and documents. Microsoft Word and PowerPoint were used to create documents, questionnaires, and presentations. For construction, they used a video recorder, Apple Mac, Final Cut Express, Photoshop, and InDesign to build a documentary, double page spread, and radio trailer. For evaluation, they posted their video on YouTube and embedded it in their blog, and used PowerPoint and SlideShare to create and share an evaluation presentation.

The document discusses how a media product, a documentary, uses, develops, and challenges conventions of real documentaries. It follows conventions such as introducing interviewees with names and titles, using voiceovers, and including facts and figures. However, it challenges conventions by not having questions in interviews, starting the voiceover after the title sequence rather than at the beginning, and using a unique title sequence featuring scrabble pieces. The documentary also uses techniques such as home videos and abstract openings in ways not seen in other similar documentaries.

The document discusses how a media product, a documentary, uses, develops, and challenges conventions of real documentaries. It follows conventions such as introducing interviewees with names and titles, using voiceovers, displaying facts over relevant footage, and conducting vox pops in relatable environments. However, it challenges conventions by not having questions in interviews, starting the voiceover after the title sequence rather than at the beginning, and using a unique title sequence and home video footage. The radio trailer and magazine spread also both follow and challenge conventions of those media.
The document discusses how a media product called "My Documentary" uses, develops, and challenges conventions of real documentaries. It follows conventions like introducing interviewees with names and titles, using facts over footage, and conducting vox pops in relevant locations. However, it challenges conventions by not having an on-screen presenter, starting the voiceover after the title sequence, and using an abstract opening for its radio trailer. Overall, the documentary borrows techniques from examples like "Super Size Me" and "Video Game Invasion" while also adapting elements to make it unique.
Morgan Spurlock's 2004 documentary "Supersize Me" documented the negative health effects of eating only food from McDonald's for 30 days. By eating three meals a day from McDonald's, Spurlock gained 24.5 pounds and his cholesterol increased. The film highlighted America's growing obesity problem, with 1 in 3 children in Mississippi facing obesity. It also showed that many schools were banning unhealthy foods in response. While the film had some positive impacts, it also represented some Americans as lazy for using diet pills instead of making lifestyle changes.
The document reflects on the learning and skills gained from an initial preliminary magazine cover task to the final full magazine product. Specifically, the author notes learning important technology skills in Photoshop and InDesign and gaining a better understanding of the magazine industry and how to target audiences. This increased knowledge and experience with design software allowed the author to create a higher quality final magazine.
The magazine represents the broad rock music genre and its target audience of 16-30 year olds. It uses an informal tone and common vocabulary to be accessible to this age group across social classes, as rock music appeals to many. The magazine incorporates different rock sub-genres to be inclusive of various tastes within its overall focus on rock music and lifestyle.
The media product uses many conventions of real magazines, such as the masthead, sell lines, pull quotes, barcodes, and a "win" icon. The contents page also follows conventions like listing the "Contents" at the top, featuring a main image relating to the cover story, including the editor's letter, and titles/subtitles of articles. However, one double page spread was made to look more unconventional with a slanted diagonal line separating the image and article. The article also uses an interview format with questions in red and answers in black. Continuity is created through consistent colors, images and styles.
The double page spread uses a large main image taking up the entire left page to create visual interest and balance for the text on the right page. The text is separated into two columns as is commonly done in other magazines and includes a smaller embedded image. A footer with the magazine's title and social media links is added to tie the pages together, mimicking features found in other real media products.
The double page spread uses a large main image taking up the entire left page to balance imagery and text. The text is placed on the right page separated into two columns as is commonly done. Smaller images are included within the text for variation. A repeated element of the magazine title in the footer links the pages together, mimicking features found in other magazines.
The student learned more about specific magazine genres and technologies through their preliminary and final tasks. They progressed in taking higher quality pictures using rules of thirds. Researching different music genres and styles helped create a more professional looking magazine. Knowledge of typical magazine conventions and research into music magazine conventions improved the preliminary task into a final music magazine.
IPC media is a large UK publisher that distributes magazines like NME, though its genre may not match the document's magazine. IPC's Look and Now magazines could be a good fit. InterMedia Partners distributes magazines like Vibe that would likely match the genre and audience of the document's magazine. As InterMedia has successfully marketed Vibe, they could effectively distribute the magazine.
The document discusses how the media product uses, develops, and challenges conventions of real media products. It summarizes that the product uses typical conventions like mastheads, cover lines, barcodes, and centrally-featured images. However, it challenges conventions by using affordable clothing styles and a busy background image on the double-page spread. Developments include thin mastheads, secondary artist images, and consistent copy across pages.

9. ANALYSIS OF WRITTEN
ARTICLE
The article itself is basically about Dizzee
Rascals story and his year of 2009 where
he had a successful year. The header
suggests the article is about how Dizzee
Rascal has gone from being in trouble with
police and been on tags too becoming
successful and getting rich, this may be
seen as a aspirational story.
The article itself is written in 4 short
columns each of approx75-100 words
which would not be a lot of words for a
teenager/young adult (being the target
audience) to read and they would therefore
not get bored of reading it.
