presentation of media product

http://prezi.com/kinqatkggdpc/media-music-presentation/

 This is the outcome of my media product. front his experience if i where to go back and redo the media product again, i would  do the music magazine the exact same  but  replacing the the background with another yellow  background. This would make it much easier to read the writing that is on the left third of the magazine. although  the words are very visible  the words don't really stand out. 
 overall i was satisfied with the outcomes of my media product  and believe that the colour coordination blended in well with one other which therefore made the magazine alluring and grab the readers instant attention.  This was an objective that i felt i had succeeded very well.
 The writing was a slight change from my original plan, which i had changed because the writing style that i had before i had my final style was  to simple and dull unlike the final where it brightened the magazines and was unique and funky.
 The  images i had chosen for my media product was clear and very visible  and reasonable sizes that were not to big but not too small.
mixing slang quotations and proper English was to attract the target audience, where they will feel a personal connection with the media product  by relating to  the common slang used within the magazines.
  my media product turned out better than i had expected.

my double spread page



 My double spread page is an interview on the upcoming collage band.

Using adobe photoshop i managed to create a consistent yellow background with white arrows that are formulating different shapes and patterns.  I choose this consist background because  it matches with the front cover background but more simple than the front cover. the yellow background that represents the bright colours  that are usually used to represent dancehall and hiphop.

 WHAT MAKES IGNITION IGNITION is the article title of the interview. this i choose because it is a rhetorical question that allows the reader to think about what really does make the band IGNITION tick and be who they are. Not only this but it is appealing and grabs  the readers attention  to make them want to read on and find out what does make this new band who they are. within the title IGNITION  i have used onomatopoeia to emphasis the power  that the band has.

  The writing style that i have used for my  interview questions is Ravi Latin  in Size10.37 which i selected because the writing style is funky, hip and modern nd out of the ordinary. With the written illustrations i continued with the same colour scheme red and black  so that the colours are consistent. The black i used for the titles or questions or subheadings were as the red i used for other information aside from titles subheadings and questions. for the answers to the questions i used wide Ravi Latin size 9.37. This was consistent with the writing style of the questions.

 

 This was my first image that i placed on to my double spread page.  I choose these image because it shows the girls who are within the band and they are dressed in urban fashioned clothes that are colourful and stand out.  This image was taken outside in the bright light so that the wind blows through their clothes and hair so that it look extra exaggerated.  having the girls looking extra and divas perfectly suited the music genre dancehall and hiphop because it is exaggerated and crazy and has a lot of attitude.

 this is  the second image of the boys in the band. i wanted the boys to look extra and to look as though they were vain but cool.  To represent the bright colourful colours that go along with dancehall and hiphop the boys where dressed in casual  bright clothing that stands out and is very eye catching.  the image was taken out in the nature outside.

 This is the third image that i  used of the group band. I has the girls positioned around one of the boys in the band. This was to represent how close the band is together and they look like a big diva family. this picture  i choose because the positioning of the band members are exaggerated and have a lot of attitude. this represents the dancehall genre  where it is based around attitude and exaggeration. The image was taken  in front of a red and brown brick wall because the wall makes the picture look more urbanised. The band dressed in colourful colours to look appealing and extraordinary  and different these are their signature colours which makes them unique.

my music contents page

  For my contents page i wanted it simple but outrageous. However continued with the same colour background and  the red and black Wide Latin writing.  Placing the contents title on the side of the magazine just made the magazine seem unique from other music magaqzines that placed their contes titles top on the middle of the page which seemed to be much popular with music magazines.

The writing that i used for my contents title was Wide Ravie Latin writing. I choose this wriiting  because the style of the writing looks urban and very different to usaul common styles.Placing trh introducing just made it seem appealing  and gave an outrageours positioning.

 The  page numbers on my contents magazine i positioned them diagnolly beside the horizental written illustrations. This made the written illustrations stand out and look alluring and appealing. The writing consists of two main colours red for things that readers will find inside the magazine and black for subtitles and titles.

 In my contents page i wanted to use three main  iconography's because  i wanted them to represent the written illustartions on my contents page. The three mian images consist of an image of the new and upcoming band,  an image of  the behind scenes of beenie man and an image relating to the fashion tips.

 Some of the written illustrations are bigger than the other illustrations, this is because they draw an instant attension and they make the contents page stand out when the size of the writing is very differernt.

My Music Front Cover magazine

 My music magazine  is a Hiphop and Dancehall music magazine, which i selected because  this is the kind of music that appeals to my interests. Not only this but  both  music genres hiphop and dancehall combine to enforce the rhythmic feel of freedom through dance and hard based sounds that are fast instrumental with different instruments such as piano,electric guitar, drums with the mixture of nature sounds or the heartbeat of a human being.

 The title of my magazine is WHINE UP which is a shorter way of verbally saying lets dance. Before i came to a final decision  of  the title WHINE UP i had generated several different names for my music magazine. these were  HEAVY ROTATION, IGNITE, SEEN, RAH BWOII, HOT WUK, FAB-WHINE. All these names suit the music genre Hiphop and Dancehall, however they are ad hormone titles meaning that they represent other meanings and may sound like other genres or give an image that goes away from
Hiphop or Dancheall music. Also these names are to common which is why i went for WHINE UP,  it is unusual and makes one think about  the tile which then makes it catchy to people because it is not an everyday phrase you here.

 The selling line RE-ENFORCE THE FUSION OF VIBES  stand out and relates to how we can all get back into the vibes that we tend to ignore looking through the the magazine. In other words the music magazine takes you away to the good time of fusion of vibes. My selling line is very simple using onomatopoeia  in fusion to emphasis the musical journey that readers would be taken through.

 My music magazine is a monthly magazine which is why the price is £3.90. Doing some ssecondary research on  prices in other monthly music magazines within the same music genre. They were priced at a minimum price of £4.50. For my music magazine pricing my magazine at £3.90 was suitable to my target audience of  C1 - C2 class.

For my background for my front cover using photoshop with a mixture of firework to create a urban based background, formulating shapes to create arrows and a black pattern. This made the yellow, black and white blend in with one another to make the front cover appealing and eye catching.

 My main image is a group of collage sixth formers who formed a band called IGNITION

 On the bottom of my main image i placed written illustrations of different artists that represent the music genre of hiphop and dancehall music and illustrations of what genre the music magazine is.

 The  most hardest part of making my front cover was that it was hard to mix and  match  colours so that they beond with one another ,while standing out and being eye catching and readable. Another aspect that was very difficlut about making my front cover of my music magazine  was that  gettign the right writing style that suited the music genre was very hard because the writing had to look unusual  than normal common day writing styles.

my final title

 This is my final finished title that i produced on graffti creator. this  is very  bright but also it is easily readable. it matches with my background   fof my fornt cover onaccpunt of teh background is yellow with red, balck and white graffti drawings. which makes teh title blend in with the desighn on my front cover. the title is WHINE UP which  is another way of saying a wild creative dance.  the yellow glow on teh background stand out and blends in with the background making the background seem as though the title is faded into the background. the black stripes on the title it makes the title look unique and very creative and orignal because it is not the kind of style that you would see in everyday titles and it embraces the hiphop theme.

the first attempt at my title

  My magazine title is WHINE UP.  This was my first attempt to do my title. The jamacian colours even though  it stood out it was very hard to make out what was written. The  jamacian colours respresented  the dancehall  theme with a mixture of  hiphop because most colours  that represent the dancing,wild theme is green, yellow, white and red. This title was very hard to match with my yellow background because the yellow i had placed on the title was very dull light yellow were as my background was alluring bright yellow.

what the music represents for the photos for my music magazine

 for  my music magazine i am going to be focusing on hip hop and dance hall genre.  i choose this type of music  because i am very interested  in hip hop and dance hall music.  dance hall  is  the type of music that concentrates on embracing hard bass of drums and guitars infusions into ones ear. the beats are very fast and energetic.
hip hop  is the type of music that concertrates on using everyday sounds as beats such as the heart beat of a human heart or the cries of an animal  creating beats that are fast but powerful. dace ha;l and hip hop both have many factors in common they balance between fast, energetic, powerful and effective music to your ears. the main sound  that dance hall and hip hop creates  is the enhancement of the hard bass.

   In most music videos and magazines, photos or any association to these two genres you will find that the colours are always  bright and allures someones attention  instantly. not only this but  body positions  in any image illustrations that has to do with hip hop or dance hall the positions are always outrageous and are never limited inside the box. they are  body positions that  are abnormal and strike a crazy weird but stunning style.

 With my models for my music magazine  the costumes for them was very bright clothing that stands out and  is very eye catching.  i choose this because hip hop and dance are very out going,outrageous,different, unusual type of music just like bright colours.  the pictures   that i photographed contain a mixture of  three boys and 4 girls. the band IGNITION were Timi, Miriam, Debbie, Gandy, Silvia, Mutsa, Eman
 
 the  picture have the models wearing bright clothing and very outrageous posing in an outdoor location. an outdoor location was the best location for this type of music  because it as surrounded by nature and i wanted to get images of  the wind blowing in the models faces which makes their clothing look more baggy and more loose.
   they all had to do an instant pose often most outrageous pose they would never do in normal pictures.

  
 the boy's in ignition i wanted to look ghetto and hood were as the girl's i wanted them to look hood but fabulous hood. with music such as hip hop and dance hall the boys are always seen as the ghetto more dominate characters and the women are always seen as the independent more fierce characters.

 for the boy's i had them position sitting on the bench because i wanted them to look as though they were boss boy's and  to come across as intimidating, then i wanted to make the girls to come across as diva's but sensitive.

    dance hall is a seductive type of music that embraces the beauty and depth girl's beauty are regardless of how someone look.s it embraces all types of beauty and body. so i photographed the girl's in ignition surrounding the boys in the band showing the different beauty that is represented within the music.

my genre mixture of hip hop and jamcian music

 the  genre that i have decided to concentrate on for my music magazine is a mixture of hip hop and dance hall magazine.  myself i am very into this because it is very interestingn wild, exciting and it gets you in the mood for dancing when in a club, when you are relaxed  at  party. this music is the kind of music that  gives the feel of getting up and dancing because it is so upbeat and funky a d enjoyable to listen to.

  hip hop and dance hall colours are usaully bright colourful and stand out. they grab your instant attention. even on the writing is bubble,grafity writing that stands out that is exaggarated to suit the music concicdering that the music is exaggarted and wild.

   both front pages have simple information of the artist that is issued on the front of the magzine and they  have  list of  artists that are in that same catorgory.  this is the only main illusatrtion that are on the front page.  it also has the number of ages in the magazine and teh number of issue of the magazine.

 to promote and sell the magazine the magaine offers prizes to be won if a competiton is entered within the magazine.

 the main magzine images are just of one artist and have  close up shot. the images are exaggerated just as much as the writing on the front page,

my final front cover

 

   i changed my whole design form my  original front cover to this on account of   this looks more appealing to me than my last front cover.  Producing a magazine for people in my age group i need to ensure that it is appealking to  me if i was someone who was lookign to read this would it apeal to me either threw written or image illustrations  which would make me want to read on.

 for my background on my magazine i used red but in various shades  so that  the cover looks different and original. i used a gradient background where i can place the shape that i want t he shading to go  so it is aliened with one another.  even though there are many shades of  red on the background the red comes from  the  darkened red of the school. The red stands out and is very appealing to look at.

For the written illustrations i have used black Franklyn Gothic writing because it colour coordinates with the  red background. hover i have used red for the writing that is over the really light white reddish background so that the writing stand out. the red and black stand out over the  different shades of red an a light mixture of red and white. i have placed ST. MARKS  on the left vertical of the cover which stands out considering that the light red blends in with the red mixed with white. i personally thought that the magazine would look better and more appealing  if there was  the same mixtures of colours. my three basic colours that i decided to use for the cover was black for most of the writing, red for bits of the writing that were over the white section of the cover an d the white used to blend in the black and the red so it stands out even more.

 the date of  issue is 2nd February and the number of issue is 12.  this is the day that the magazine as published. underneath the date of issue  there is eh selling line which  is a couple of words that explain exactly what the magazine is about.  my selling is  RELIEF YOURSELF OF ALL THE SCHOOL STRESS i choose  this on account of it emphasises that the magazine  is ambiguous. it has many meanings to it. it could mean that there are many tips within the magazine that can relief that stress that school may have  upon one or that it is an easy relaxations that eases  ones mind from the usual stress.

 i used various cover lines of things that will be within the magazine such as how to deal with teenage problems, find out what type of personalty you have, advice and tips for sixth form .i choose  these cover lines on account of it represents the issues that  students mainly  face in lower and upper sixth form such things  as personalty changes, stress for exams and catching up with  assignments  and the occasionally social problems that  students  may have which is  hwy i have placed them as the main coverlines on the  front cover because they highlight these main issue of students and instantly students can relate to the magazine when  they see the cover lines on the front cover.

 the magazine suits its  tare audience on account of it  appeals to its audience with  relating to  issues that students face when  they have reached the stages of lower and upper sixth form .Also it is colourful bright and eye catching. the big bold Franklyn Gothic writing stands out  with the mixture of  the red background.

front cover analysis

 this was my first attempt at my school magazine  front cover. the information that i  placed on the front cover i felt that needed to be kept simple and easy to read and not to have to much information or iconography's on the front cover so that it doesn't take away the attention form the the title of the magazine and the main image.

 The initial plan foe my front cover magazine as to have t he main background white ad bits of red on t he edge out side the white. I used a brush stroke to place in the  red on the  edge of the cover. for the white was a faded brush stroke  of the white. i thought that the background would stand out and come across appealing.

For the written illustrations i had planned  to make the writing format in stencil because it emphasised a school and it looked formal, which i place on the right vertical side of the front cover page this was  something different on account of  in so many magazines the title is always at the top of  the magazine. with my school magazine  i choose the right vertical side on account of it made the front cover magazine seem as though it was a personal school diary, the title being the unlock pad.

  The picture below was supposed to be a picture of  a sixth form student  wo was hnking of the history of St Marks and  she thought of the dedication  of sixth form new block. however placing the image underneath the main image didnt make the magazine clear which was the main image and  what each image stood for .

 my first  try at my school magaqzine was not very appealing to me and was very boring and  plain.  the magazine wasn't a magazine i thought  me as a sixth form student would  pick up and  actullly read. The front cover  of  magazine is the first thing that people are going to see and if  it is not interesting and plain and hardly attractive you would not  read on and see what it has to offer.

the front main cover image

  I choose this image as my main front cover image on account it  represents what St Marks is all about. St Marks is a sixth form school that  works hard in giving all the students a good education. Not only does it  support and guide children it always build students in a school family community and this picture shows unity and  an example for the school community that St Marks has.

contents page plan analysis

for the background of my contents page i have chosen a red and white background matching the front cover colours. The lighting on the background will be bright to ensure that the page itself stand out and is very appealing to the reader. for the title of the page i have place CONTENTS on the top left hand side of the page. The title will be in black and red bold Franklyn Gothic writing which will be more prominent over the white background.

Alongside the title there is a medium large arrow that points onto the contents page which illustrates exactly what a contents page looks like to the readers. The arrow is also black and red the same colour a the title. so that the colours blend together an look as though it is part of the title.

Underneath the title there is a bar which goes directly across it horizontally. The bar and the arrow are part of my design which i choose because it was something that makes the contents page look different,unique and appeal to the reader.

The illustrations on what exactly is going to be on each page are set in stair case format in other words each page illustrations goes a little more further than the last sentence. The written illustrations are going to be in small Francklyn Gothic writing. the iconography illustrations will be in order with the written illustrations and also in a stair case format. the top half of written illustrations the writing will be in black and red so it stands out over the white background. Were as the bottom written illustrations will be in black and white so they will be prominent on the red background. there are 5 boxes that have different images in them which are represented by the written illustrations.

Across the  first written and photographic illustrations there i have placed a small advertistement that involves a talent show competition  with prizes to be won this competitons i placed  it on  the contents  page so that people would be interested in reading on with the magzine on account of many people pick up a magazine and only read it just for the competitons.
 across the bottom illustrations there is a speech bubble that asks a question DID YOU KNOW? then following  the answer to the question a little history of St Marks Sixth Form block.

contents page analysis

 for the background of my contents page i  have chosen a red and white background matching the front cover colours. The lighting on the background will be bright to ensure that the page itself stand out and is very appealing to the reader. for  the title of the page i have place CONTENTS on the top left hand side of the page. The title will be in black and red bold  Franklyn Gothic writing which will be more prominent over the white background.

Alongside the  title there is a medium large arrow that points from the last letter of the title  onto the contents page  which illustrates exactly what a contents page looks like to the readers.  The arrow is also black and red  the same colour a the title. so that the colours blend together an look as though it is part of the title.

 Underneath the title there is a bar which goes directly across it horizontally. The bar and the arrow are part of my design which i choose because it was something that makes the contents page look different,unique and appeal to the reader.

 The illustrations of exactly what is on each page  is laid out in  a stair case format where each information goes a little further across than the last illustrations.  the iconography illustrations go in line with the written illustrations an are in a a format of a stair case as well. there are  five boxes of different images in them showing different things that will be in the magazine.

The written illustrations  will be in small  Francklyn Gothic writing.i choose this writing on account of it goes with the whole gossip magazine theme, the writing is cheeky and funky. for the top half  of the writing is going to be black and red on account of it will be prominent over the white background. were  as the bottom illustrations  is going to be in black and white  so hat it stands out on the red background. red balck and whte are colours that blnd well with one another and  standout excellantly against one another.

contents page

 For my contents page i would be having  the title of the page on the top left hand side in  bold  black and red writing,  which i have chosen on account of it would be prominent on the white and faded red background. The white on the background would be on the top  right side of the page  with  medium dull  lighting this will make the sharp writing stand out. Below the white there would be red  that is light faced out this is so that there is a mixture  of reds that brighten the page.

Alongside the main title  there will be a medium large arrow going down from the last letter of  contents onto the top of the the  contents list. i have placed it here  on account of it is much easier to identify exactly what a contents page is which allows it to be much easier for the the reader to understand and read.

 Underneath the contents title there is a bar that is directly underneath which  is part of  my contents design  this i have chosen this  on account of it  makes my contents page look unique and different and also make the page look more appealing.

 my contents design page i  have designed where  there are six boxes on the  right hand side where there are different iconography's  to show the different things  that would be in the magazine and they also are illustrated by  the writing on the left hand side which describes exactly what is on each page.

 Each page illustration will be writing in  small Franklyn Gothic writing. the top half of the illustrations will be in black and red so that the colours blend whith tehoff white bacground at teh top and tehnbottim iilstartiosn wil be black and white so that they match  with

nature magzine

 Thursday 22 january 2011

 in our media lesson today we were  making out own nature magazine front cover where we were applying all the skills that we had learned  on Tuesday about using photo shop to change a photo and  apply editing that we see fit that a photo needs. 

 Firstly we were each given digital cameras for us to go and take pictures of different nature that surrounds. we were each assigned to different groups to work with. Within my group there was Kiera and Letisha. We all went out and began to take pictures of  the nature surrounding us. In my group we came up  with an aim to  take pictures from different camera angles then from those angles we will have a variety of  photos to each choose from. we selected four different types of  camera shots (long shot, close up, looking down shot,very close up shot,) to take with all  the iconography of  the nature that  we were taken.

 Once we had taken all our photos we each choose  individual photos that we selected as our front cover magazine.  For my  nature magazine front cover i used a close up camera shot i choose this because i just wanted the animals itself  and the water that surrounding them and didn't and anything else in the mise en seen. for my nature magazine the lighting i changed to black and white and very bright lighting because i wanted to emphases freedom as though a light is  the ending of all troubles. i used yellow writing account of it stands out on a black and white backing.  around the animals i used shadowing so they stand out and u instantly are attracted to them , they are the first thing that appeal to the reader who looks at it. the front cover magazine is A4 size. for the caption of the cover i used THE PURITY OF PEACE AND LOVE. this i used because the swans are lightened to look pure  and in a heart shape. the second caption that i used  DESIRES FULFILLED, this i use because its has though that freedom has finally being reached. the front cover represents love and peace then freedom on the other hand.

secret of front ocver magazine

21st of January we had to write down notes of the different aspects that a magazines contents on the front cover these  things where such things as the master headline which the name the magazine, the cover lines which is the story lines that may occur within  the magazine, the main cover line is the main story  within the magazine, the selling line is a couple of word that basically tell the reader exactly what the magazine is about and in this in case the selling line was your natural health expert which emphasis that the  magazine is based on your natural health, the left third  is the bar code, the  information that people  will see before anything else and the dateline which is where the month of the yer of the publication and this is important because we ant to know knew information not something that we have heard about before.

how i find photoshop

 using photo shop i find really easy. i enjoy all the facts that you can use to change or improve a picture it an exciting programme that allows you to all possible things to the picture  such as increase the lighting of the image, soften the picture

first day of using blogger

 in media class we Have started to blog and how we have Been actually been introduced to blogger. honestly i am actually excited about this because i can be more interactive with this and get into it because it is very practical.
