Evaluation Question- 7 Looking back at your preliminary task what have you learnt in the progression form it to the final product?

Evaluation Question 6- What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

What I have learnt about TECHNOLOGIES from the process of constructing this product is that my research has to match my product in order for it to be applicable to the public. I have used the internet to search for different magazine to put it onto my BLOGGER.Through the intenet I have tried to secure that I have sufficient information for me to create my original idea. Having this information has helped me with the creation of my product. It also took me a while to grasp ‘blogger’ but I have practised and explored to enhance my use of it.

In addition, I had used Adobe InDesign for the preliminary task however it has still been a challenge trying to create a masterpiece as there were certain effects that I wanted to create that I did not know to. Therefore I decided to play around the tools and use InDesign  to create my front cover, contents page and double page spread. I had to play with different fonts to decide what would best suit my product as certain fonts appeareed to soft or too harsh and I wanted a font that was in between. I also had to use different colour swatches to blend with the feel of my magazine. Lastly I used different effects on the fonts to make it stand out or blend with the background colour or image.

I also used  ADOBE PHOTOSHOP to edit my pictures. I used various layers to create a particular look for example to add more hair to my models head. I also used the clone tool to give a flawless appearance to the face. I needed some assistance initially but have become more familiar with how to use the tools effectively on my own with practice. I also used the lasso tool which is very effective with the use of opacity and the HARSHNESS of the brush.I feel more self-reliant to use it in the future due to the process of contstructing my product.

Evaluation Question 5- How did it attract/address your audience?

Evaluation Question 4- Who would be the audience of your media product?

My target audience desire to see a captivating photo of an artist they are familiar with as this will make them more inclined to purchase the product. As my target audience is young adults both male and female, they will want to see a front cover that does not disregard a gender but rather connects the two to create a desirable product. For example I am planning to have a woman on my front cover with blue writing for the title as blue is stereotypically for males. Or perhaps I could have my front cover as a male but have a lilac colour for the title to decrease the focus mainly on males.
