Rough Design of Double Page Spread with Notes and Annotation
This is only a rough design that I have made on Photoshop so that I could practise using the programme more and get some idea of what I want to do.
Since designing this double page spread, I have thought further into what I want to include and if the layout is suitable. I decided that having a photo on the crease of a page wouldn’t be totally suitable and the power of Robyn (my models) facial expressions would not be as strong in the image; they may be slightly distorted and spoilt.
I have now decided to change the layout style to what is seen in this image, I will have one main image that is large and covers the majority of one page, and then maybe include some others little pictures around the two pages.
Contents Page With Notes and Annotation
This is a very basic design for the contents and looks very dull. The contents page will feature a mix of different pictures from artists that will be included within the magazine. I want my cover story to stand out on the contents page, as the person in it is an upcoming artist and I want to draw people in to read the article.
The main story that I want people to read will be in a larger font and positioned in a place where more people are likely to see it.

Codes and Conventions
There are 3 categories of codes that are used to convey meanings. These are:
- Technical codes.
- Symbolic codes.
- Written codes.
Technical codes which includes camera techniques, framing, depth of field, lighting and exposure and juxtaposition.
Symbolic codes, that refers to objects, settings, peoples body language, clothing and colour.
Written codes, the language which is used and the effect it would have on the reader/audience.
The codes and conventions give the text meaning and determine the response of the viewer. They can be used as a basis for simple text analysis.
Codes are the equipment what are used such as the cameras. Symbolic codes could be what the person is feeling and how they are portraying this to us as the viewer.
Convention are the way things are done within the video this also describes the genre of the music video
