Contents Page: Progression
Transforming 'CYCLONE' to make it bigger and more pronounced and also moving it above the description to make it the most important feature.
Blue and red font, same as used on front cover, gives off a distorted effect, so coi-incides with the magazine name.
Black and white photo contrasts the fluorescant green photo, and makes them stand out as the two highlights in the magazine. Large, clear font for p4 and p17, to also make it stand out to the reader
Finished product, having moved the text/images into a good position to make the page easy to read and identify the key points. the use of the colours of bright greens, blues and reds contrast eachother well and give off a distorted image, so they co-incide with the magazine name

Youth Subculture and Media Press History Presentations
Points I was not aware of in the presentations:
Youth Subculture:
1) The values of a youth subculture: Attitude, conformity and rivalry
2) There are different views on what makes subcultures different from each other, e.g. CCCS believes they are all similar as they all follow a sense of rebellion from mainstream, but Grant McCracken believes that each subculture has its own beliefs and origins which cannot be generalized
3) There isn't a defined mainstream any more, there are too many subcultures and streams to name one as 'mainstream'
History of the Music Press:
1) In the mid-70s there was a split in the music press between 'Music Journalism' and 'Political Journalism' focusing on the politics and beliefs of artists
2)In the late 70s, style was more important than content in music magazines
3) Fanzines were first produced in the 80s, they looked very handmade but they inspired a great wave of interest in journalism, writing and drawing
