Planning: Codes and Conventions on Genre

 Application of Codes and Conventions on Genre

Genre: Rock/ Grunge

As seen in the picture, this band (PVRIS) follows the codes and conventions of a Rock band.
They wear black, have tattoos and piercings. The girl has the side of her head shaved.They have an eerie sort of outlook. It is as Daniel Chandler states in his Genre Theory that it is due to these shared codes and conventions that are then regarded as being part of one genre.

Genre : Indie-Rock

This is an example of an Indie-Rock band (Echosmith). They are seen to be wearing light pastel colors and floral shirts and button down shirts. They have a more of friendly outlook as can be seen with the way they dress and their body language and these codes and conventions can be seen to be followed by other bands and artists of the same genre.

Planning: Flatplan

Flatplan is a vital part in any publication production. It gives you control over the publication production process and is very important for an art director to have insight into how various stories are laid out and how will they be arranged in the publication. 

Flatplan is nothing more than a diagram of thumbnail pages in which each story is represented by the number of pages (thumbs) it consists. Ad pages are included also and it is advisable to color them differently from the editorial part of the magazine so that they can be recognizable as such.

Flatplan is also important for a production manager. Magazines with large number of pages can print for a few days. This is vital information for production manager and designers because they will know which pages should be done first. Printing sheets can be made of 16 or 32 pages so it is advisable to mark the ends and beginnings of each sheet on your flatplan.
