Introduction

Hello! My name is Kelly and I want to welcome you to my first blog post!

I plan on creating a four page magazine that will include: a magazine cover, contents page, and a double page spread as part of my AICE Media Studies coursework. 

Listed below are more specifications regarding my coursework:

Main Task

  • Ensure that ALL content (images and text) produced is my original work
  • Create a front page, contents, and double-page spread of a new magazine
  • Post an individual edition of a music magazine (if I choose to work with a group, we must follow the same house style. The maximum group size is four members.)
  • Produce a minimum of four original images
I look forward to documenting the process of my magazine creation which will include four aspects aspects: preliminary research, planning, production, and reflection. I will do this reflection once I have fully created the magazine.

Due to my general research and communication skills, the Media Studies coursework will be facilitated for me. Also, my past experience with blogging may be beneficial to me throughout this process. Though these skills will help me, this course will help me learn more about the process that occurs while media is being created. This process may include: different camera shots, different camera movements, and different camera angles. Not only will I learn more about these different production techniques, I will also learn about the effects they bring to films.

Evaluation Question 1: How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?

 Below is the link to my YouTube video: https://youtu.be/dDTCcIevXUc   Transcript Hello. My name is Kelly Lopez, and I will be answering compulsory question 1. The question is "How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?" Throughout my magazine I incorporated images such as the cover image on the cover page. I had mastheads, a barcode, subheadings, a tagline, an issue number, a date, columns, editor information, and even color schemes. I maintained the color scheme throughout the cover page, the contents page, and the double page spread. I kept my fonts the same for my cover page as opposed to using alternating ones throughout. I felt that this helped make my cover more aesthetically pleasing and more simplistic. I tried to ensure that any images featured were always the center of the attention in the design. In one way or another everything else on the page ensured that the readers stayed captivated and that they focu...

Comparing Music Magazine House Styles

Since I plan on creating a magazine dedicated to music, today I will comparing a few music magazine covers and their house styles. I want to take note on any similar patterns that I may notice in different brands. This type of research is essential because I want to create something original, but also appeal to my audience effectively.  First, I did research on the Billboard magazine. I noticed their masthead is a thick, bolded, and rounded font with all lowercase letters. Also, there is not a definite color for the masthead, as it changes for every issue. In late 2019, their magazine issues had a vertical masthead, but they have now changed it to appear horizontally (like most magazines). Despite this change, most of their magazine covers tend to direct all of their focus towards the cover image.                                                 Next, I looked into...
