Question 1 evaluation
My media product, a music magazine called "RAVE", closely follows conventions of real music magazines. It has a front cover with a bold masthead title, main image, issue details and multiple storylines. The contents page also adheres to conventions with consistent branding and layout. However, the front cover image challenges conventions by being manipulated to look more like a painting rather than a clear photo.

It also outlines what the student learned about using Adobe Photoshop and InDesign software and highlights areas for improvement, including managing time and learning new tools.
Evaluation powerpoint
The document compares the design elements and conventions used in the student's music magazine to the real music magazine VIBE. For the front cover, the student used a similar color scheme but made their image less bright. Their masthead and sell lines are also bolder. For the contents page, both magazines place the main contents on one side and use a box to highlight top stories. The layout of the article pages is also similar, with a picture on one page and text on the facing page. However, the student made some customizations like adding a quote on the picture page.
Q1
The document discusses magazine design conventions and how the author has both followed and challenged conventions in their cover, contents page, and article designs. For the cover, conventions like using a cover image and direct eye contact are followed, while using a black and white image challenges conventions. For contents, an artist index is included conventionally but multiple feature articles challenge norms. The article uses a paper-like background conventionally but adds graphical elements unconventionally.
Final Double Page Spread
The document discusses design decisions made for a double page spread in a music magazine. For the left page, the artist image was made smaller with a border and page number to relate to the other spread. A glow was removed from the image to make it more natural. A quote was added in red text to continue the continuity from the cover. On the right page, only half an article is shown to be continued on another spread, modeled after conventional magazine layouts. A large image was added beside the text to break up the heavy content. The same font is used for the title and first letter to keep the pages consistent.

The main task is to create a local newspaper called the Lambeth Press, with two ancillary projects of a newspaper poster and two hyperlinked pages for the newspaper's website. The student conducted research on newspaper design conventions and local newspapers. Feedback was gathered on tasks from an audience. Drafts and final versions of the ancillary tasks are presented, showing how feedback was implemented. The student learned about aligning elements, filling space, and using HTML text based on audience feedback. Key concepts like narrative and representation are discussed in linking the main and ancillary tasks.
Production process of front cover
The document summarizes the production process for the front cover of a magazine. It describes:
- Positioning the picture and creating the masthead with appropriate effects and color scheme.
- Adding coverlines of different sizes and colors, separated by rectangles.
- Creating a large red main coverline with drop shadow to grab attention.
- Adding date, positioning statement, and drop quote underneath.
- Designing a circle with a rocky texture and effects to highlight an interviewed band.
- Creating a black rectangle for the strapline and adding text about an exclusive interview.
- Finishing with a drop quote and highlighted text for another story.
Task 8
The student created a tabloid newspaper cover for a punk culture magazine by starting with a 3x3 grid layout. They added content such as a headline image and title in the top center. Additional elements like side stories, dates, and ads were included to fill space. Different fonts were used to represent the genre, and images were treated as magazine clippings. Overall the layout balanced readability with a style fitting the target audience. Further developments could include more ads or interior content previews.
Presentation1

The Sunday Times - Travel
The document provides an analysis of the layout and conventions used across various articles in the Sunday Times Travel section. Key points analyzed include the use of mastheads, images, text formatting and placement, and lexical choices to attract readers' attention and convey important information in an engaging manner. Different article styles are also examined, such as diary, review and wish list formats. Overall, the document discusses techniques for effectively presenting travel content in magazines.
Representation
Representation refers to how any medium portrays aspects of reality, whether through a single image, sequence of images, or entire program. While the media does not present reality directly, it re-presents things that have already occurred through various constructions. Representations aim to invite audiences to understand them in preferred ways, though allowing for some interpretation depending on the viewer. However, representations also implicitly convey ideologies, meanings, and values, giving media institutions great power and responsibility over how they might influence social attitudes. Stereotypes, as an extreme form of representation, are used to help audiences instantly identify meanings but can also exaggerate traits, usually in a negative manner based on assumptions.
Questionnaire results
The document summarizes the results of a questionnaire about a magazine final product. Respondents generally found the front cover interesting due to its professional and vibrant design with bright colors that contrast well. The bold writing and taglines on the cover were seen as grabbing attention and providing enough information to persuade reading further. Most respondents said they would buy the magazine based on its attractive, colorful and modern cover. The target audience was identified as women ages 11-18. Some improvements mentioned were maintaining a consistent house style with matching pink tones throughout.
Evaluation Question 2
The magazine represents social groups in the following ways:
1) It uses stereotypical "girly" colors like pink, orange and white that appeal to its target audience of teenage girls.
2) It features attractive female celebrities on the cover to exploit the theory that this makes girls want to buy the magazine to emulate them.
3) It includes content that appeals to different age groups within its target range of 14-17 by taking inspiration from magazines oriented to older and younger audiences.

Top UK Cities
- 1. Creating Articles: Top UK Cities For this article I don’t really have much progress photos as I followed the a similar design to the Cuba article and therefore knew what I was doing.
- 2. Title is the largest text of the page; standing out and is the same colour of the cover page so it fits the theme. The description of the photo is found in italics underneath the photo. The page number is found in the same colours as the colour scheme for the magazine The picture is takes up the full page, acting as a cover page for the article. I chose to use a London photo with London being the Capital.
- 3. The description of the photo is found in italics underneath the photo. The page number is found in the same colours as the colour scheme for the magazine I chose to make the page half and half; half of the page being text with the other half being a photo that represents the city or something that was talked about in the text. The same technique is followed throughout the rest of pages.
