Evaluation 3
Evaluation 3: What kind of
media institution might distribute your media product and why?
I could use a range of different social
media websites to advertise my music magazine as my target audience are around
the ages who mainly use social media website such as ‘Facebook’ ‘Twitter’ and
‘Instagram’. I could also use music magazine payers such as ‘Bauer Media’. Bauer is Europe’s largest privately owned
publishing group, it is a mulit-platform they are largely viewed and respected
as industry innovators. It advertises music magazines such as Kerrang this
shows the success that this publishing group can bring, as Kerrang is known
largely. This would work well for my music magazine because both Kerrang and my
music magazine have the same genre. However it does cost a lot so they are some
of the things that would have to be considered. Also to start off by getting
the magazine known it would be good to consider giving a certain amount away
for free.

Evaluation 7: Looking back
at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression
from it to the full product?
From doing the preliminary task I have learnt a lot on how
to create a magazine, by using Photoshop I would say that, that’s my biggest
improvement. As you can see from my front covers there is a big different in
both as I have learnt how to use Photoshop better and the skills you need to us
for it. Using a style model is the biggest thing you need to think about when
creating a magazine because you want to make it as professional as you can make
it look. My front cover for my preliminary task is very plan and boring and the
colour background edit is very poor whereas on my main task front cover of my
music magazine it has a lot more detail and looks more like a magazine due to
all the things I have added to it. The way the photos have been taken are
different as on the main task it connects with the audience more, also, the
text included, the colours and conventions I have included.
Looking at the layouts on my contents page again they are
both very different. The images on my contents page are only two small ones
whereas on my main magazine I have one main image, which connects with the
audience, and then smaller images. My main magazine contents page is a lot more
full like a magazine should be. I have
used a lot more conventions on it and by looking at a style model I have learnt
how to do the layout a lot more. On my main magazine there are no spaces
whereas on my preliminary task magazine there are a lot which makes it boring
and not stand out. I have also realised that it is hard to tell that it is a
magazine because on the contents page and the front cover it has no barcode or price.

Evaluation 6: What have you learnt about technologies
from the process of constructing this product?
Whilst
creating my music magazines I only used a few technical equipment, I used:
· A camera to take my images and I
learnt how to use the camera and take better images for example how to focus
the shot properly.
· Apple mac computer, I learnt how
to upload the images from the camera onto the computer and how to save things
in the correct files.
· Photoshop- I used Photoshop for
the preliminary task but I didn’t know how to work it properly and I also
didn’t have many skills on using it but by doing this main task I now know how
to do it and I have gained skills in using it.
· Blogger- by using this I have been
able to share my work and also look at how other people are getting on to know
what standard I am up to.
