The student learned several skills from creating their magazine product. They used Photoshop to design the magazine cover, learning how to edit images by removing blemishes and unwanted elements. Indesign taught positioning and layering of text and images. Blogger was used to upload work, which the student had not used before but found easy to learn. Illustrator introduced the basics of creating and manipulating text for the masthead. Photography skills were developed using a DSLR camera in the studio, such as adjusting shutter speed, focus, and saturation levels.

The document is a magazine proposal by Jazmin Sinclair for a magazine called Persona. The proposal outlines that the magazine will focus on individual readers and feature interviews and articles on up-and-coming R&B, hip hop, and soul artists from the UK. It will be published monthly both in print and online. The target audience is youth ages 15-30 and the price will be about £3. The proposal also includes designs for the magazine's masthead, front cover, contents page, and double page spread.

The document discusses how a hip-hop and R&B music magazine represents social groups. It represents working class audiences as many artists come from working class backgrounds. It aims to represent all ages and ethnic backgrounds by using diverse images of artists and models, varying styles of fonts and clothing, and neutral colors. The inclusion of a hijabi model and modestly dressed female models makes the magazine unique in representing different religious groups.

Bauer Media Group would be an effective publisher for the media product because it is a large, well-known media company that can distribute the magazine through its 600 existing magazines and radio/TV stations, promoting it to a wide audience. Distribution through Bauer across multiple countries in stores would increase the number of readers. Social media could also help by promoting the magazine on popular sites like Facebook and Twitter to appeal to younger audiences and build a wider fan base.

The document summarizes the improvements made from the author's preliminary college magazine to their final music magazine product. Some key developments include: - Photography skills improved through learning to use a professional camera and lighting setup. - Layout elements like cover lines, mastheads, and mid-shot cover photos made the final product look more polished. - Consistent color schemes in the final magazine presented it as more professional compared to the preliminary version with blurry photos.

Bauer Media would be a suitable publisher for the media product. As one of the largest magazine publishers in the UK, Bauer has an established online and physical distribution network that could reach a wide audience. Their portfolio is lacking a hip hop magazine, so there would be less competition. Bauer publishes magazines, runs radio stations, and has online and physical distribution capabilities. They are an innovative company known for helping new products find audiences. Distributing the magazine through Bauer would leverage their multi-channel network to market the product to Bauer's large, global audience without competing directly with other rap magazines.

I learned several skills from using various technologies to construct my magazine product: 1) With Photoshop, I learned tools like the dodge tool to add shadows and dimension, and the lasso tool to select and edit areas of images. These allowed me to enhance image quality and correct mistakes. 2) InDesign helped me design professional page layouts, including adding images without copying, lining up text, and using columns. I also learned to use gradients to add depth. 3) In Illustrator, I created a magazine masthead using colors that portrayed my music genre and kept the design bold and simple to attract readers. 4) Other programs like Prezi, Timetoast, B

Tyanne Stewart has decided to call her new music magazine "tunes" because it relates to how teenagers describe songs they enjoy. The word "tune" refers to a simple melody, especially in music, linking it to her focus on R&B genres. She aims the magazine at younger audiences aged 18-25, as they can afford to purchase it monthly and be interested in up-and-coming and major artists featured. Her target demographic is classified as C2-C1, who are still quite young, and the psychographic is mainstreamers keeping up with trends, which appeals most to the 18-25 year old portion of her target audience.

This document summarizes how a media product represents particular social groups. It discusses using a black female model to represent that the magazine appeals to both girls and boys. It aims its target audience at ages 18-25 by featuring clothing styles inspired by musicians like Chris Brown and Justin Bieber that would appeal to those listening to R&B and pop music. It also aims to represent the black Afro-Caribbean ethnicity by using a black African cover star that people of that ethnicity can relate to. It challenges stereotypes by using standard English rather than slang in the journalism, seeking to give a more positive representation than stereotypes of being uneducated troublemakers.

The student learned several lessons from creating their first college magazine that they applied to improving their music magazine. Based on feedback, they made the masthead on the cover larger and stand out more. They also spaced out the cover lines so they were not too close to the cover image. For the contents page, they lined up the page numbers and enlarged the main image so the contents page color matched the cover page color better. Overall, they believe they successfully met the targets they set to incorporate the lessons learned from their first magazine.

The document analyzes the forms and conventions used and challenged in the creator's music magazine media products, including the front cover, contents page, and double page spread. For the front cover, conventions like the masthead placement, cover lines, and skyline are used, while the equal prominence of both cover stars challenges conventions. The contents page incorporates images, page numbers, and social media links. The double page spread features images, pull quotes, and columnar text layout with some unconventional formatting. Overall, the media products develop and challenge real music magazine conventions while maintaining an authentic style.

Question 3 what kind of media institution might distribute your media product...fatsss10038

IPC Media would be a good publisher for the magazine because they are highly successful and experienced, having published magazines for over 60 years. While IPC Media publishes some music magazines like NME, they do not publish any rock magazines, so the magazine proposed would not be in direct competition with others they publish. IPC Media also publishes magazines across multiple platforms like print, digital, social media and mobile, which matches the target audience aged 16-22 that consume media that way. If published by IPC Media, the magazine would be distributed in major UK retailers like Asda, Tesco, WHSmith and HMV, with their thousands of stores providing wide reach.
