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.

Friday 7th JAN
tried starting a front cover with some images i took over christmas but not very happy with them. may try to take more pictures, but still might use the ones i have. layed down a basic layout for the front cover also
Friday 14th JAN
went out and took some more pictures for front cover as the ones i have i didnt think were good enough, i done some serious editing to one of the pictures that i think i might use as my front cover image.
Friday 21st JAN
spent most of the lesson editing my photographs to select the correct one for the front cover. the one i selected was the one i had done lots of editing to last week.
Friday 28th JAN
cracked on with front cover today as it needed some work. still needs some work but looks nearly finished, the major things i added today include the colour scheme of subtitles, position of subtitles and some small shading around the title.
Friday 4th FEB
Today i tried finishing off my front cover. pretty much done to a decent level i feel. i added backgrounds to the text boxes to make them stand out more, and also made a few minor tweaks such as the placement of the bardcore and the title.
Friday 11th FEB
Today i started my double page spread and made good progress adding lots of text and arranging the title to how i want it layed out. i also made a few small tweaks to my front cover but these were only minor. the double page spread still needs some work doing to it, but the basic paltform is down.
Friday 18th FEB
Today I Finished my double page spread up to the point that i could, i corrected all the grammar in the text and fitted it all correctly. All i need is one large picture and my double page spread is done. i also began thinking of ideas for a contents page today, and how i could lay that out. will take some pictures for contents page over half term.
Friday 11th MAR
Today i returned after a week off through being very very ill. I cracked on with completing my double page spread and starting my contents page.
Friday 25th MAR
Today i finished my contents page, and pretty much completed the whole magazine. I still feel very ill and have not been able to work properly due the fact of being ill. The magazine is praticaly finished and i started my evalution.
Friday 1st APR
Today was april fools day, and i made a few minor tweaks to my magazine and added a few final touches, with a bit of alteration because after starting one of my evalutation tasks i realised that my magazine could be changed abit.
* Missing dates are when i was ill and/or half term
