Evaluation question 6- what have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product





SLR Camera
I started off using the digital cameras and couldn't get the quality of picture I needed so I then used the SLR cameras and these gave me much better quality picture.


Imac
I used the Imac for editing, this was my base. We each had one and this is where all of my work is loaded to and from. (pictures)


Software used includes:
  • Photoshop- I produced each one of my pages in this software.
  • Indesign- I edited a few pictures using this software.
  • Flickr - I uploaded my 3 pages to this and wrote where I would distribute my magazine.
  • Blogger - This is where all my work is stored, every bit of work that I have done is uploaded to this software.
  • Youtube
  • PowerPoint- I used this for my first question of my evaluation.

Evaluation - question 5 - How did you attract/address your audience?

Question 4 evaluation: Who would be the audience for your media product. why?


This is my target audience. They are my target audience as they listen to the right music, so they will be familiar with the stars I have used in my magazine, they will also be able to relate to the real life stories in the magazine and also the fashion pages will be good for them as they will dress in the clothes that are in the magazine.

Evaluation question3 - part 2

evaluation question 2: how does your media product represent particular social groups?



The  images are represented quite similar as they are both the same genre. The similarities are:
- The first picture, the female is strong, she isn't looking at the camera
-She has her own mind as the writing over her face shows whats on her mind
-Both females are independent as they are alone in the picture.
-Both have a lot of makeup shows they care about their appearance.
- Both females aren't wearing much clothing, which shows they are both comfortable with their appearance.
-Both models have their hair down which shows confidence in their own appearance, it isn't scraped back and sophisticated, its more fun and shows energy.
-Both are tanned which shows they have took care in their appearance and are bothered about what people think of them.
-Neither of the models have expressions on their faces which shows they are serious.
-Both are wearing jewelery that go with there outfits, again this shows that both care about their appearance, this also shows that its R'n'B with the bling.

Evaluation question 1: use, challenge, develop




Use:
I have used the word 'contents' as the biggest thing on my page as it stands out to the audience and automatically guides them around my magazine. I have also put the pictures big, and not used that many so that the audience can also see clearer what the magazine is about. The script style contents list is a little different. I put my editors letter on the right hand side of the page so that it stands out to people, and it makes them want to read it.

Develop:
I didn't use any magazines to get my ideas from for the contents page of my magazine, however i did look at magazines to look at the layout. Many magazines that I looked at were the same layout. The contents was in a normal list and it looked very boring, seeing as though my magazine is RnB and very unique, I thought id change the stereotypical magazine to be different and a style of my own. The pictures being tilted also give the RnB theme to the magazine.

Challenge:

I have used a script style contents list which is very different for an RnB magazine. the name of the magazine being faded in the background also stands out and is very different. A lot of the things that I have done I have done as it is an RnB magazine, and the audience for this magazine will be unique, independent and have there own style of clothes/attitude/personality etc. I have tried to focus on these main parts and challenge my magazine using them.
