Evaluation: Question Seven

Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

At the being of the course I completed a skills audit on how will I could use a Mac and programs on it, I was not very good at many of these tasks as I had never used a Mac before. However over the course I have learnt and developed knowledge on how to use a Mac and its programs. Compared to the preliminary task that I did of the college magazine there is a clear improvement, as I become familiar with the Mac and how to create a professional magazine. From the two magazine covers below you can see how I have improved and developed over time. In my preliminary task, the college magazine, i did fill all the spaces well as there are still a lot of spaces and I haven’t included a main story, however in the music magazine project there is no more space for any more taglines and I have included a main story that stands out and looks very professional. Also the colour scheme for my music magazine is much better than the college magazine as it’s got more than one colour and the colour links with the main image.  I feel I have learn how to use programs such as photoshop to a greater effect to create a more visual effective magazine. I have now been able to use websites like blogger, flickr, prezi and slideshare to great effect to present my project and having not used these programs before I picked them up very easy and will continue to use them and create more great work like my music magazine.

Evaluation: Question Five

How did you attract/address your audience?


One way that I address my audience is though social networking sites such as Facebook as from this i could upload images, texts and final outcome and get instant feedback from my target audience. This was good as it was really easy and also it kepted my friends and target audience wanting more as i slowly released the final outcome.
I also addressed and attracted my audience with my front cover:

Evaluation: Question Four

Who would be the audience for your media product?

 The target audience for my magazine ‘AMP’ would be both male and female, as my magazine is not biases to one specific genre, they will between the ages of 13/14 to early 20’s because this is the age when people start going become more interested in music and start to prefer one specific genre, so when they come to buy a magazine they will know if this one is for them and their personal taste in music. Their taste in music will be mainly in the genre of alternative, indie and indie rock, such bands as mystery jets, The Maccabees and the Futureheads. They would mainly watch comedy, action, horror and sci-fi films and enjoy watch channels such as comedy central and BBC Three. They would dress smart casual, normally wearing shirts or tees from shops such as Topman, burtons or designer names such as FCUK, Ben Sherman and Ted Baker, they would wear smart leather shoes or bight coloured plimsolls and have a individual look. They would spend their time at local and big gigs, going to house parties and playing sports such as football and rugby. They would also go to college or university and spend time studying and part time working to afford the gigs and parties they attend. If old enough they would go to the pub and clubs at weekends with friends. They would enjoy listening to music and listen to it whenever they can.
