The document provides an evaluation of the student's media coursework assignment to create a magazine. It summarizes the key ways the student's magazine both follows and challenges conventions of real music magazines in its design. This includes using layouts similar to Kerrang magazine but with unconventional color schemes and fonts. It also discusses how the content focuses solely on punk rock, representing that genre. Overall, the student learned important skills in using Photoshop and balancing conventions with original designs.
The magazines researched target different audience demographics. Kerrang targets a younger audience interested in punk and alternative music. It uses casual writing and includes free posters. Mojo targets an older audience with more established music tastes. It focuses on classic artists. Q targets the widest range of ages and musical interests but lacks a consistent visual identity across issues. Common features included bold color schemes, photography focuses, and double page spreads for major stories.

Snapchat is a photo and video messaging app launched in 2011. Its purpose is for users to communicate with friends by taking images or videos that last for a few seconds before being deleted. Users can edit their snaps with filters, lenses, stickers and send them to friends or add them to their story for all friends to view. Revenue comes from geofilters that users can purchase to display on their snaps in certain locations, and advertising placements that companies pay to display in the discover and story sections. Legal issues include respecting intellectual property and copyright of content posted, and ensuring user privacy through controls on sharing location data.

3. Genre
Q magazine is known for promoting upcoming artists and new
releases of music material from well known musicians and
new artists. They are also known for exclusive interviews with
artists that they are able to share with readers through the
magazine which makes them more intrigued to analyze more
about the artist and get to know them more through their
music and through themselves as people, that’s how the
reader is able to connect with the artist/band through their
music and who they are as individuals. The genre of Q
Magazine would usually be indie, alternative and rock due to
the fact that’s really what the magazine bases all their articles
on and the artists which are ranged in the two genres.

Secondary research
As shown in the pie chart, the percentage of pop music sales is
the highest as it is 36% compared to rock music sales which is
35% so they have a 1% difference. This implies how pop music
is popular amongst all audiences in the UK. These figures are
from 2015 so compared to all other music genres, rock and
pop music is the most favoured from all audiences in the UK.

8. Moodboard conclusion Slide
These two images were picked out from both mood boards as
they use the colour schemes that are the same as the ones I
have chosen for both magazines ideas I have chosen. In addition,
the content featured on these front covers are very similar to the
ones I have decided upon for both my magazines ideas which are
displayed on the graphic and hand drawn drafts.
9. Front cover- inspiration slide
The masthead of the magazine
is clearly cut by the guitar as it
wants the reader to focus more
on the main image to connote
to the reader that the main
image( Paul McCartney) is the
most important feature of the
magazine along with the
masthead.
With the coverlines, each artist
is in bold text along with what
their feature in the magazine is
about which is under their
names but in normal text. This
conveys to the reader how the
artists are what attract the
audience and how they relate
to the genre the magazine is
implying to the audience.
Another feature of front cover of a
magazine is puff promotion which would
usually be seen in bubble or border
shape which highlights to the reader
what promotions the magazine have to
offer to the reader and how they are
giving something back and rewarding
the reader for purchasing an issue of the
magazine.
Based on Steve Neale-1980, I
will repeat the way Paul
McCartney is positioned on the
front cover in order to connote
to the reader the body
language of the artist and how
passionate they are about
music. The guitar has been
given the 3d effect in which it
stands out to the reader in a
way the guitar is Pauls’ secret
weapon into being more
successful in the music industry.
10. DPS-inspiration slideTwo images of Jake
Bugg have been used
which is one of him
looking in the distance
and the other of him
playing at one of his
gigs. The initial
thought of the first
image could suggest
that he is looking back
at what he was before
he gained attention for
his music and the
other image connotes
how much passion he
has for music and
dedication he has for
it.
There is a drop capital in which this suggests where the reader starts
reading the dps and this in a way gets the readers attention as they are
more interested in the interview compared to other features on the dps.
The main headline
uses a pun as the
editor of this page
wanted to suggest
how this dps is comical
but at the same time
can have moments in
the interview which
are serious and in a
way, this main quote is
what keeps the reader
going.
Below the main headline of this page is stand first which
suggests what the reader should look at first before they start
reading the full article so that they come across the point of
this dps. The words in white text in the stand first highlight the
important individuals in this article which includes Jake Bugg as
he is the main artist of this dps that is being interviewed.
Under the stand first is magazine credits in which the magazine is
giving all the credit to the editor of this page who worked on
setting up the page and constructing it in a way readers will
understand it. By crediting the editor, this connotes to the reader
that it isn't the artist that should be given credit as they took part in
photo shoots and the interview but not the whole editing of this
page.
19. Font style
• These fonts that have been selectively chosen are bold, the masthead will
be clearly read by the reader and will easily capture the readers eye on a
deeper level if they are into the genre the magazine fits in.
• In addition , this connotes to the reader how the magazine is convincing
them to buy an issue as the masthead is very detailed, relates with the
genre of the magazine and stands out on the magazine along with the
image.
Font name: War Wound Font name: CF Green Corn
Font name: Sliced Juice
20. Font style-continued
• These fonts that have been selectively chosen are bold, the masthead will
seem very simplistic and easy for the reader to notice when picking up an
issue of the magazine.
• Also, this is similar to other mastheads for NME and Q magazine as they
use a bold font and capital letters to emphasize the genre the magazines
as they fit into the rock, alternative and indie based genre.
Font name: Lemon/Milk Font name: The Bold Font
Font name: Quartzo
21. Font style conclusion
The two fonts chosen will be the font styles that will be used for
both my final magazine ideas. These fonts will be well suited for
the each magazine as they juxtapose with the genre that is
based on both magazines and bold text highlights to the reader
that the magazines stand out to them and this is one feature on
the magazine that is supposed to grasp the reader’s attention
along with the main image and the content featured in the
magazine.

This is a 5-week plan as to how the production of my magazine ideas will go. The first week will consist of
buying equipment, hiring employees through setting up interviews and setting up the office. The second
week consists of giving out tasks especially to the photographer, writer and journalist and looking for an
artist to feature on the front cover and dps. The third week is formatting the front cover and dps through
programs such as Adobe Photoshop as well as adding the interview and other relevant stories into the
article. The fourth week consists of finding other stories that could be featured in the magazine that are
relevant to the genre ad sending off the completed magazine to the production company. The last week is
based on the distribution of the final magazine idea, setting up social media accounts that lead up to the
launch of the magazine. It also displays how employees get weekends off so they don’t have to turn up for
work on the weekend, that is their 2 days off.
31. Production process
1. Firstly, you need to decide on the date of publication of the magazine, this is important because this is the date the issue so
when the issue is completed is set to be released to the general public for them to purchase it. Once this date has already
been set, this means that a schedule should be set. The schedule is the plan in how the production process should go to be
successful and how each process in the schedule will go to move forward with the magazine.
2. Also, you need to manage the schedule in order for the schedule to go to plan, this is the most important step of the process
and should not be taken for granted when the production of the magazine comes into place. In order for the magazine to be
produced efficiently, you need to manage the schedule in a sufficient way. To meet the deadline, there should be ways to
solve issues that could possibly be an interruption to the production of the magazine so that it can easily meet the deadline if
those issues are resolved.
3. There is also editorial and budgetary decision which is when the magazines editorial team have to decide what topics should
be covered in the magazines next issue for it to be published. The editorial team discuss about the important contents that will
be featured and make up the magazine. As soon as the topics, photographs, stories and illustrations are decided for the next
issue of the magazine, the team have to make the budgetary decisions of the magazine. They look into how much the
production of the magazine will cost and the money that will be available for them when it comes to producing and publishing
the magazine.

32. Production process (continued)
4. The next stage is content acquisitions, which is when the topic decisions for the magazine are finalized
and also when the artwork(illustrations and pictures that will be used for the magazine) and
graphics(images that are edited on a computer program like Adobe Photoshop) for the issue of the
magazine are also worked on in order to publish the next issue of the magazine. Also, more research in
detail about the topics and events that will be covered in the magazine will be done by journalists or
reporters of the topics, research can be done on the internet and news which covers similar topics.
5. Sub editing is the quality control of the issue of the magazine, this is checking if all facts used in the
article are accurate, being sure that the words are spelled properly, making sure that grammar and
punctuation is correct, if all articles follow the same house style and working on how the page should be
laid out.
6. Page layout is how each page of the issue should be laid out so the layout decided by the layout team
do this on many pages in order for the magazine to come together.
7. The next step is proofreading so the editorial team print out a hardcopy of the issue in order to find
the mistakes easily whereas with a softcopy it will be harder. They keep proofreading if they are satisfied
that all the mistakes are no longer visible.
8. File emailed to printer is once the magazine is proof read, the dtp( desktop publishing) file of the
entire issue of the magazine is then printed and pre-pressed so sending the fonts and images that have
to be used in the magazine with the file. As soon as this is completed, the company that are printing the
magazines take over but before that, the company prints out a few copies and then sends them to the
publication editor to have at least one more check over the magazine. Once the team are pleased with
the printers proof, then they are able to print out hundreds and thousands of copies of the magazine
which will be the finished product that will be sold to the general public.
9. This is the final stage of the production process which is distribution, once the printing company have
finished printing out all the copies of the magazine, they are able to package them nicely and send them
to the warehouse. After being sent to the warehouse, the magazines are then distributed to the retailers
and then sold to the general public. References

36. Distribution to retailer costs
• This screenshot displays the email
I sent to Marketforce which is a
TimeInc company.
• In addition, this email is evident
that I contacted Marketforce
through their email found on the
contact us page, it explains that I
am researching about magazine
distribution to retailers like
WHSmith and I am finding out
about a estimation to how much
it costs to distribute two
magazines that have 60 pages
each to retailers.
• I have also specified that I am
studying CTEC media which
indicates to Marketplace that this
is for educational purposes and
this information is vital in order to
complete research into
distribution to retailer costs.
37. Distribution to retailer costs(continued)
This screenshot displays the
response that I got from one of the
employees that work in
Marketforce regarding to the email I
sent on the previous slide about
distributing magazines to retailers.
In addition, this email explains how
the retailers would take around 10-
20% of the cover price of the
magazines but this depends on
which retailer you chose to
distribute the magazines.
through this response, this is able to
give me an idea of what the
distribution costs for my magazine
will be as well as the cover price of
the magazine.
38. Spending power
• The cost of both magazine ideas is £2.50 which is
a reasonable price for the audience I am targeting
my magazine ideas at and based on the amount
of content that is within each issue of the
magazine.
• As the social class is high up on the socio-
economic needs, this means that the spending
power will be higher compared to social classes
that are lower on socio-economic needs as
people within ABC1 social classes have jobs that
have a high income.
39. Advertising revenue
• As displayed on the magazine flat plan, there is 11 full page advertisements
that are in each issue of the magazine which is an appropriate number of
advertisements in an issue of the magazine.
• The price of each full page FH(full page advertisement) is £3,025 (according
to advertising rates on the screenshot above).
• As there is 11 pages that are full page advertisements on my magazine flat
plan, the total cost of the 11 full page advertisements is £33,275.

40. Subscription offers
1 magazine each month(12 months) for the
price of 8 magazines=
8 x £2.50= £20.00
10,000 subscriptions x £20.00=£200,000
£200,000 = The total that is made through
subscription offers for the magazine.
41. Profit and Loss breakdown
Profit
• 15,000 x £2.50= £37,000
• advertising revenue=£33,275
• subscription= £200,000
• £200,000+£33,275+£37,000=£270,275(Total profit)
Loss
• £97,200+£9,270+£315+£49.99+£1,276.00+£8.33+£2.33 +£53.20
+£8,091=£116,265.85(equipment and cost)
• £25,000+£25,000+£25,000+£25,000+£25,000+£25,000+£32,500+£23,724=
£206,224(staff and cost)
• Total cost for printing quotes and cost=£5,624.35
• Total loss=£328,114.20
42. Profit and loss breakdown(Continued)
• Total loss=£328,114.20
• Total profit=£270,275
These figures displays the total loss and profit the magazine is
going to make which means money will be lost in the first year of
production of the magazine. Also, this is due to the fact more
money is spent on staff and equipment compared to how much
is spent on advertising revenue, subscription offers and the cost
of producing 15,000 copies of the magazine.
43. What I intend to repeat-
Steve Neale(1980)
• Steve Neale(1980) stated that “genres are instances of
repetition and difference” and “difference is absolutely
essential to the economy of genre”.
• He is technically explaining with these two statements how a
film and its genre are defined as two different things and how
the audience can understand a film and identify its genre.
• What intend to repeat is the genre of the magazine so stick
with the rock/alternative/indie genre and the bold masthead
in capital letters so that it appeals to the reader and can be
easily recognizable. Lastly, it will have a simplistic colour
scheme so that it is noticeable to the audience and how it will
not be such a confusing colour scheme so sticking with red,
white and black.

44. What I intend to repeat(Continued)
• Based on my magazine of inspiration for the NME front
cover , I intend to repeat the layout of the magazine so
what it looks like, the colour scheme it has consistently
throughout the front cover and the way the barcode is
positioned but how it is displayed will be changed. In
addition, what I intend to repeat with my magazine of
inspiration dps is how the stand first is positioned in the
first dps, the colour scheme for the NMH magazine idea
will involve a similar shade of blue that is in the first dps
whereas with the Louder magazine idea, the colour
scheme consists of black and red.
46. Legal and Ethical issues- ipso
• The editor’s code of practice is based on rules which have been enforced by members of
industries that relate to magazines and newspapers that have to be agreed on and accepted. It
is administered by the Editors’ Code of Practice committee that includes ten editors and 5 lay
members which certainly include a chairman and chief executive of the IPSO.
• This is relevant for my magazine as this makes sure that any errors that are made during the
production of my magazine, ipso must be taken into consideration as failing to comply with
the clauses listed on the ipso website could lead to legal action being taken against my
magazine from a certain individual featured in the magazine or competitor.
• On the previous slide, it displays how to make a complaint through ipso about a certain
publication that you were unhappy with or spoke in such nature that was not appropriate to
mention in a publication.
• In order to fill in a complaint to IPSO, an online application form can be filled in, they also
accept writing in a complaint and telephoning in is acceptable.
• There is also a time period in which the complaint must be submitted into IPSO within 4
months of when the article that is being complained about was published or any action that
has taken place. they could possibly take in complaints that are about an article that still has
access through the website of the magazine/newspaper within 12 months of when it was
published.
• This relates to my magazine as accuracy(Clause 1 of the Editors’ Code) is one of the clauses
that relates to my magazine which means that the information given in the magazine must be
accurate, from a reliable source e.g. the artist featured and must relate to the genre of the
magazine and the magazine itself. if any inaccuracy is spotted within the magazine, a
complaint can be sent in by the reader if they are reading information that is false, doesn’t
come from a reliable source or doesn’t relate to the magazine or article featured whatsoever.

47. Legal and Ethical Issues-ASA
ASA stands for Advertising Standards Authority which is a UK
independent advertising regulator so they ensure that
advertisements that are broadcasted or not broadcasted across
the UK comply with the advertising codes that are provided.
This applies to my magazine as this makes sure that any offensive
material or any subjects deemed unsuitable for advertising isn’t
displayed to the public as this could lead to legal action and
possibly fines if any material deemed unacceptable is discovered.

48. Editors Code of Practice
The other clauses listed on the Editor’s Code of Practice which relates to my magazine are:
Clause 12- discrimination
– The press must prevent any content that is prejudicial to a certain individual’s race, colour, religion,
gender, sexual orientation etc.
– Any details that cover any of the subjects above must not be spoken of unless it is relevant to the
content that has been published.
This relates to my magazine as some artists which feature could be from a black background so those
who are involved in the production of the magazine as well as writing the article about the featured
artist should be carefully in terms of the words and phrases used which could relate to the black culture
as some terms could be offensive and cause some outrage with some readers. This could possibly lead to
the magazine being sued and causing the ipso to take action against this.
Clause 14-Confidential sources
– Every journalist have moral obligations in order to protect any sources of information that have to be
kept confidential and out of the public eye.
– This is important as any information that should be kept from the public but then released means
that any news source can gain information from this and legal action can be taken into place as there
is evidence to back up that the release of confidential information is in breach of Clause 14.
This is relevant for my magazine as this makes sure that any errors that are made during the production
of my magazine, ipso must be taken into consideration as failing to comply with the clauses listed on
the ipso website could lead to legal action being taken against my magazine from a certain individual
featured in the magazine or competitor.

49. Ethical issues
• There is issues which regards to either a person or group having no choice
but to voice their opinions on whether alternatives are ethical (right) or
unethical (wrong).
• When it comes to producing magazines, companies will have to comply
with the rules once the magazines have been published and sold to
consumers so it will prevent any harm or offence caused to individuals.
• If any ethical issues were to occur in music magazines, it would be more
relevant to those who are younger artists compared to those who have
been in the music industry for long enough to be irrelevant.
• As my magazine features more of younger artists rather than artists that
have been in the music industry for years, this means that ethical issues
will be more relevant to my magazine as they are more to voicing their
opinions through interviews that take place that would be featured in the
magazine.
50. Copyright and IP
• IP stands for Intellectual property which is defined as having the correct type of intellectual property
protection to prevent other individuals from stealing or copying your work. This can be applied to the
names of certain products or brands, your own inventions, the way your product is designed and the
work that is produced by yourself. Examples of intellectual property is Copyright, patents and
trademarks and these types of intellectual property can be already be there automatically or will
need applying so that intellectual property is protected. Intellectual property can either have more
than one author/owner, if it belongs to a group of people or business and if it has been sold to
another owner or transferred to another individual/business. This relates to my magazine as it is
similar to the copyright rules based on protecting any of the content that is included in the magazine
such as the text used and any images that were taken specially for the magazine. Also, this prevents
users from having unauthorised access to the logo and text within the magazine.
• Copyright is when an author has legal rights into creating copies, licenses and other musical or
artistic work whichever the format and is entitled to owning that work that requires authorised
access for it to be used by other individuals if the author gives permission. This links with my
magazine in terms of the content that is presented throughout an issue especially with the images of
the artists that have been taken specifically for the magazine. In addition, images that have been
taken specifically for the magazine comply with copyright as I am the original owner of the images,
meaning that people would have to ask for permission to use the images.

51. Watermark
• Watermarking is defined as a specific mark that is place on
different types of paper whilst in production that can only
be identified and seen in certain angles of light.
• Depending on the number of photos and videos that will
be watermarked, the prices range from £0 to £13.37 per
month.
• In order to go through the process of watermarking, the
easiest and fastest way of watermarking your images is
through certain websites like watermark.ws which requires
monthly pay in order for it to watermark a certain number
of images and videos that you require.
• What I would watermark on my magazine is the front
cover and back cover so that it conveys to the reader that
each of the material that is featured on the front cover
shouldn’t be plagiarized or else certain action would be
required for this to be prevented.References

52. Data Protection Act 1998
The data protection act allows you to control how personal information from
certain individuals is passed around in businesses, organizations or the
government.
This information must be used lawfully, fairly , must be accurate, has to be
kept safe and secure from the public eye, it also must be kept within a certain
time period if necessary and must be relevant to the content.
This is relevant to my magazine as it highlights that it is important to keep any
information relating to the featured artists away from the media as some
information that is leaked that wasn’t supposed to be could lead to legal
action occurring as the data protection act is put in place in order to protect
all information on people specially from the public.
