Unit 1 lo2
The document discusses psychographic segmentation and how Q magazine's target audience fits into different categories. It states that Q's audience would be categorized as "aspirers" and "mainstreamers" based on their ages being 15-24 and interest in fashion and status. Demographically, Q targets age group A which includes high-income professionals. The target audience is focused on younger generations aged 15-24. Socioeconomically, Q targets all classes but most readers likely come from higher-income backgrounds. Q uses social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram to engage readers and invite new audiences.
Log Book
The document summarizes research on magazines, including codes and conventions of magazine covers, target audiences, unique selling propositions (USPs), genre research, and publisher research. Specifically:
- It identifies codes that should be on a magazine cover like a masthead, images, cover lines, barcode, and convergence links. An analysis finds that a Rolling Stone cover is missing some of these elements.
- The target audience for the author's proposed magazine is identified as people aged 13-25 interested in rock and pop music.
- The magazine's USP would be featuring emerging artists in the art world beyond just music.
- Research on the genre identifies Rolling Stone as inspiration for including both music and art
Unit 13: LO1
The document provides information about the Rolling Stones magazine, including its purpose, form, style, content, genre, target audience, and production process. The magazine was founded in 1967 in the United States to provide content focused on music and music culture like reviews, articles, and blogs. It aims its content at younger audiences between 15-24 years old through its use of bright colors, photos of celebrities, and articles about music gossip. The magazine is produced biweekly and has a website to further engage its target audience.
Newspapers
The document discusses theories about why people consume news media. It outlines Blumler and Katz's "Four Needs" theory, which proposes that people use media to fulfill needs of escape, surveillance, social interaction, and identity. Newspapers and websites can satisfy these needs by providing engaging stories, information about current events, opportunities for discussion, and ways for audiences to relate to people in the news. The document also examines concepts like hard news, soft news, news values, target audiences, and the language used in print and online media.
The music press intro to a level
The document provides instructions for a foundation portfolio assignment to design the front page, contents page, and a double page spread for a new music magazine. Students must include a minimum of four original images and text. The assignment is intended to have students consider the role and influence of music magazines in shaping music trends and culture from the 1950s to today, and how digital media has impacted the industry.
Uses and gratifications explanation and application
This document provides an explanation and application of Uses and Gratifications theory. The theory focuses on why people use media rather than the content itself, and assumes that audiences actively interpret media to meet personal needs like identity, information, entertainment, and social interaction. The document then applies this theory in summarizing how magazines like VIBE and NME meet these audience needs through artist interviews, news, and topics for social conversation.
The Big Issue Presentation conventions.pptx
The Big Issue adapts to appeal to different audiences through various magazine cover styles such as celebrity covers featuring direct eye contact and expressions, political covers using graphics and real images to portray biases, and pop culture covers referencing recognizable characters. Using different styles helps attract a diverse audience by fulfilling different entertainment, information, and social needs through the Uses and Gratifications theory.
The pitch powerpoint
The document proposes a new pop music magazine targeted at 18-25 year old females. It would provide information on the latest pop artists and music releases, as there are currently few magazines catering specifically to this audience. The target readers would be in the E and D social classes, either working or in university. Potential publishers like Hearst Magazine could produce the magazine. It would include articles on music charts, new releases, trends, and profiles of artists. Possible names discussed are Top Charts, Updates, Pop Station, and Station.

Creative portraits
This very short document does not contain enough contextual information to generate a meaningful 3 sentence summary. It includes a title "Creative Portraits" and two lines of text that are fragmentary and do not convey a clear idea or story.
Black lives matter ppt
Black Lives Matter seeks to highlight racial inequity, not deny the struggles of others. The movement aims to address systemic racism by acknowledging that while everyone deserves equal treatment, Black people currently receive unequal and unfair treatment, similar to one family member receiving no food at the dinner table while others eat. The document also includes images that inspired the author about Black Lives Matter through their emphasis on culture, resistance, activism and unity in the face of injustice.
Political movements
Black Lives Matter was created in response to police brutality cases where African Americans were unreasonably killed. It is regarded as a new civil rights movement that draws inspiration from previous movements like black power and black feminism. Born as an online campaign, Black Lives Matter demonstrates the power of digital activism and represents the voices of black people, including the LGBT community, fighting against systemic racism and police brutality.
Time magazine website
The TIME magazine website replicates much of the print magazine's content online, including naming their "Person of the Year" and running related articles. While some articles are nearly identical to the print versions, the website takes advantage of digital formats by including videos and photos. Both the print magazine and website maintain a consistent red brand identity color and serious, slightly left-wing tone when covering complicated global and US issues.
Dazed website analysis
The document analyzes digital convergence in Dazed magazine. Photographs and themes are consistently used across print and online articles to create continuity. Coverage of topics like the Hype House were more extensively developed online with additional videos and photos. Brand identity is created through design elements like unusual photos, colors and content selection that showcase atypical individuals. Intertextual references to pop culture are used online through article headlines and images to foster shared experiences among readers.
Brief don't forget to do
Plan my audiovisual content and make sure my representations are intentional, sophisticated, and appropriate for my audience. Demonstrate knowledge of conventions and codes through a range of techniques. Create a form that fits the media industry context. Anchor images and text to create meaning and have a suitable tone for the audience. Convey an ideology through values, attitudes and beliefs. Reference other media through genre hybridity or allusions. Clearly label online-only content on the website and include hidden references between media. Mix found and new material across platforms.
Revisiting the pitch
This document outlines Zoe Olawore's pitch for a current affairs magazine. It discusses keeping coverage of social events and international news, making it clear this is a new magazine, and engaging audiences digitally through a newsletter and social media. Additional content ideas include culture topics like TikTok and opinion pieces. Digital features like clicking images to access extra content or past magazine articles are proposed. The magazine aims to value individuality, challenge norms, and represent a diverse range of voices and topics for young audiences through a left and liberal ideology.
dazed magazine analysis
Dazed Magazine attracts a young demographic through its eye-catching aesthetics and creativity. The document discusses a focus group where many young people said they would be interested in magazines with "nice front covers." It then analyzes a Billie Eilish cover photo, noting elements like the long shot and haze effect that create mystique around her celebrity persona. Additional photos show Dazed appealing to youth through casual, candid imagery set in familiar scenes like a bedroom that represent their readers' carefree individuality.
Colorful marketing plan presentation
The document provides an analysis of The Guardian Weekly magazine. It summarizes that the magazine prides itself on independent, progressive reporting and features long-form articles on overlooked issues from an international perspective. Intertextual references in cover images subtly communicate liberal values and left-leaning cynicism about current events. Inside articles use emotive imagery and language to position readers in an anti-authoritarian stance supportive of protests and resistance to oppression worldwide.
Zoe olawore 2
Based on audience research, the document summarizes key findings about the target audience's leisure habits, media consumption, and characteristics. For leisure, the audience enjoyed R&B music and entertaining films with inspirational themes. Their activities centered around watching TV series and creative hobbies. The audience was aware of popular culture shows. Most had read magazines but now prefer online versions for accessibility and cost. They get news from various online platforms. Most of the audience can be characterized as either goal-oriented succeeders or experience-seeking explorers who value image.
Textual analysis #2
This document provides a textual analysis of The Guardian Weekly magazine and Time magazine. For The Guardian Weekly, it analyzes layout, photography, typography, and intertextual references on the covers. It finds the magazine uses intertextuality and progressive language to convey left-leaning viewpoints. For Time magazine, it examines Greta Thunberg's Person of the Year cover and finds symbolic representations of her message and activism through her expression, clothing, and gaze. It also analyzes ads and articles in Time that reveal liberal social values and a focus on underrepresented groups.
Moodboards
This document provides a brief overview of several magazines including The Guardian Weekly, The Big Issue, and The Spectator. It mentions that The Spectator focuses on inspiration. The document also notes that it contains a mix of inspirations.

Understanding the brief
- 1. Understanding my brief Current Affairs Magazines
- 2. What does current affairs include? sports US women’s football team Megan Rapino, Coco Gauff Serena Williams Or less on events and more about topics- why are women paid less than men in sports the delaying of olympics due to covid international news Simplifying Israel vs Palestine The oppression of Muslims in China, North Korea approaching news from a humorous side e.g. conspiracy theories about covid FGM political events definition: events of political and social interest significant for young people social eventsBrexit Keeping up with Corbyn- casual segment- what is he doing politically now 2020 US election which centre around social issues e.g. racism, gender, homophobia, climate change Oscars so white, church of england statement on same-sex marriage debates Identity politics meritocracy- written from the perspective of the WC? Are we headed for a post-racial society philoso- phical- what happens when we are dead The Big Issue did this- weekly seg
- 3. What are current affairs magazines • From research so far, I’ve understood that current affairs magazines are magazines (visual forms of communications) which focus on political and social events of importance • Typically, current affairs magazines adopt a formal tone and are targeted towards older readers. Satire is a big convention of current affairs magazines e.g. • However, more modern current affairs magazines such as ‘The Big Issue’ and ‘The Guardian Weekly’ have grown to be more colourful, visually engaging but the arty style/illustrations have still remained • The Big Issue, despite being a current affairs magazine in order to attract a wide audience also depicts culture and entertainment (hybrid magazine)- this seems to be a direction that magazines are moving towards • Satire of politicians and right-wing politics in order to evoke humour and engage
- 4. Conventions of these magazines • Loose conventions govern the current affairs magazine genre • Satire is very popular • There is often a merging of culture and current affairs- even ‘The Week’ has a fashion edition • There is an element of entertainment snuck into the magazines- either through the cover lines, or for example how The Big Issue often have celebrities as their cover stars (then political cover lines) • Provocative- images and also cover lines- irreverent- a lack of respect- witty- perhaps something a younger audience would enjoy • Unconventional layout with a dominance of image and less cover lines • Eye-catching visuals to grab the audience’s focus • Serif font traditionally used- connote seriousness and authority apart from The Big Issue- sans serif font to attract a modern audience
