UNIT 14 LEARNING AIM A
The document discusses the codes and conventions of magazine covers and spreads. It analyzes covers from Rolling Stone magazine featuring director Jordan Peele and singer Adele. While the Peele cover challenges some conventions by not including many visual elements to draw readers in, it effectively uses a close-up black-and-white image of Peele and provocative text to pique interest. The Adele spread mostly follows conventions through its masthead, drop cap, and use of the singer's large image, but challenges conventions somewhat through Adele's atypical gaze away from the camera. Both features ultimately aim to appeal to Rolling Stone's target middle-class audience aged 15-30 through discussions of popular culture and celebrities.
Learning Aim A
The document summarizes the technical considerations of digital versus print magazines. Some of the key pros of digital magazines are easier distribution and production which reduces costs, greater exposure to target audiences, ability to include interactive elements like videos and hyperlinks, and being more eco-friendly. However, digital magazines require an internet connection to access and can be harder to read than print. Some pros of print magazines are being portable without internet, appearing to have more value since they are a physical product, and the target audience potentially having more access to print versions.

It notes type 2 readers as the target primary audience for the author's planned R&B magazine, which will feature artist Angela Evans and encourage readers to engage with music production. The magazine's design is described, including dark color scheme, loop lighting on the cover photo, and content focusing on Evans' original songwriting style rather than her appearance.

Further development of digipaks.
The band originally chose an image from a music video as the cover for their tour DVD but decided it was misleading and did not represent the tour. Throughout exploring different cover designs, they found that incorporating different parts of one background image worked well by providing a sleek background for the text. They also learned they should use colors on the back cover tracklisting that are clearly readable. Numbering the tracks with Roman numerals instead of regular numbers provides something individual and alternative for audiences to find their preferred songs.
Digipak ideas analysis.
The document provides details on potential album covers, DVD covers, and magazine advertisements for a band called The Wombats.

Let’s explore the intersection of technology and equity in the final session of our DEI series. Discover how AI tools, like ChatGPT, can be used to support and enhance your nonprofit's DEI initiatives. Participants will gain insights into practical AI applications and get tips for leveraging technology to advance their DEI goals.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

'TOTP' double page spread analysis.
- 2. 1 2
- 3. PAGE 1 Although the magazine is titled Top of the Pops referring to popular chart music. This double page spread is based on the release of Zoella’s new book. Zoella isn’t even a musician herself, she’s found fame from her health, beauty and lifestyle videos. And therefore wouldn’t be a very good example of what to include in a music magazine double page spread. We could say that because of the scale of Zoella’s young female following the magazine has used her as a tool to generate a larger audience. As well as the magazine is produced by the BBC they’d be more concerned about the education of the target audience than any other magazine out there as the BBC produces educational media. In the background of the text there are falling snowflakes to represent that this is the December issue of the magazine. As the target audience are so young they’re still heavily influenced by tales of Santa clause and elves.
- 4. PAGE 1 The page then develops into an interview about Zoella and her lifestyle. They’ve cleverly used the rule of three to make the text more digestible for the target audience. The questions are highlighted in pink, the response in black to separate the text. The different coloured question lines accent the paper like ribbon on a Christmas present. As well as they’ve laid out the pictures in line across the page after one and other. They consist of ‘selfies’ and more candid shots that Zoellla has most likely taken herself (from her Instagram). This makes the interview appear less structured (unconventional) and presents Zoella in a humble friendly light, therefore the audience admires her for her humility. Like the majority of the double page spreads I’ve come across they use drop quotes in a larger font to amplify the most interesting part of the text in order to draw the reader into the article rather than skip over it. As well as the writer and photographer credits run down the side to accredit them, although this is played down because they want the main focus on the article. Overall there are some benefits to this type of double page spread however, I think I will take inspiration and alter it slightly so that it fits in more with a music magazine. For example Zoella could mention some of her favourite CDS, gigs that she’s been to/upcoming music events she's going to.
- 5. PAGE 2 The talent used for the article is a girl named Zoella. She is an English, fashion and beauty, vlogger, YouTuber and Author. Although Zoella isn’t of much importance to the music industry, its important to note the growth of self- made online stars. Through apps such as YouTube anyone can upload content and anyone can view the content. Therefore It makes it a lot easier to gain popularity, So when it comes to my own magazine my talent could be a musician from YouTube as it’s a form of social media that has significantly risen over the past few years, Zoella is dressed in a smart, friendly manner for this picture. As it is for a significantly younger audience it would be inappropriate for her to be wearing a low cut top for example as it would make her appear more sensual and this audience doesn’t regard Zoella in a sensual manner but instead someone that they can aspire to be. She is smiling and her hair and make up is kept very natural and open. She appears more doll like this way. To the side of her on the right is a column promoting her book release and a competition. The bright pictures and text lures the audience in because in contrast to the background its presented in a really colourful way. However the plug used (WIN!) isn’t colourful and is quite dismal in comparison, this was probably done to stand out against the bright backdrop of pink. The competition itself tells you the value of each item you could potentially win, the magazine itself costs £4.85 to purchase but even though they’re in the bands C1 in the NRS (National readership survey) and above , it’s a chance to gain something for free as well as educational as it encourages the target audience to read more. As an example of a music magazine double page spread its not a great example…it doesn’t mention music whatsoever. However, its inspired me to link music and other aspects of lifestyle into my article, and to reflect on social media influence so that my audience can see how music linked to every aspect of their lifestyle.
