Question 6

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

Some of the things i learnt from this whole experiance

-Alot About Macs
I had never used a mac before i started my media course, and it was nice to be able to use one of these for the first. time. However i have not enjoyed using these one bit, and i feel if i had done everything on a PC it would have been done to a lot higher quiality and in less time due to the fact we wernt giving any training on Macs and simply asked to complete 2 large projects on them with pretty much no knowledge.
-How to use Photoshop
i breifly learnt how to use photoshop breifly, as i done a small bit of picture editing on here.
-How to use InDesign
I done nearly all my design work on Adobe InDesign, and found this program very easy too use. This program was very useful and by the end of the work i became very comfortable with this.
-My Phone can record in 720p HD
This was useful despite the fact i didnt use it for my project, initialy i was going to record a video for some planning work but this never evolved.
-How to use blogger
Blogger has been a very useful site to use and has enabled me to manage all work work in one place, i will probabaly use blogger in the future outside of college.
-The mass intergration between Facebook, Blogger, Yotube ect.
I was almost amazed at how i create my blogger account with my google account, link my blogger account to my facebook acount, and then post videos from my youtube account to my blogger and facebook all at once. This became very useful in the research process and i did not know this type of mass intergration was available.

Question 5

How did you attract address your audience?

I used many differnt ways of attracting my audience, for evidence of this please see the image of my magazine below on the blog. My main goal was to make the music magazine colourful but keep a sense on contempory style about, as i beleived this would catch the readers eye when they were browsing through a bunch of magazines. I Think that my magazine achived this to an extent as i was very with the title, and the sub headings, as well as most of the anitation i done to all of that. However the picture is the one thing i felt let it down, as it was a reasonably dull picture which meant that it didnt really add much to the whole style of the magazine.

I also tried to address my audience my making a very striking font in the title, i think this worked pretty well as the digital/pixel style font goes very well the whole technology/young auidence style that i was trying to attract.
