Goodbye

Hello everyone I am glad to say I have finally completed my project. It was a real pleasure doing this from all the way in the start of the year till now and I want to thank you for reading my blogs and as you can see from them I've developed my skills as the days and weeks went on and this wouldn't have happened without this course so once again thank you and I hope you enjoyed my blog 😃

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

In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

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

While constructing this product I've encountered variety of different technologies. Below you'll find how the technologies were used with the images of them.

Apple Mac:

I've never used the Mac before so I had to learn key components about it. I used Adobe Photoshop to edit pictures and to create the front cover and the contents page of my magazine and for my double page spread I used Indesign. Finally I also used Adobe Premier Pro to edit some videos which have been included in my Blog.

Iphone 6S:

I also used my phone for the creation of my music magazine. This is because I recorded feedbacks from people about my magazine and to take photos of the flat plans we've created which then I had to upload onto to my Mac.

Canon Camera:

Finally I also had to use a professional camera to take photos which will be included in my magazines front cover, contents page and double page spread.  However I had to learn how to use it properly as I haven't used one before.

How did you attract/address your audience?

I attracted my audience by having real recognisable artist names on my front cover as like this people will know about some of the artists and could be more interested to see how they feature on my magazine. I've also included real issues such as artists versing each other in the front cover of my magazine. I thought this would be good as it could make my audience engaged wanting to know more about the issues and buy the magazine as a result!

Who would be the audience for your media products?

What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

I believe the best media institution that will distribute my product (Magazine) is Bauer Media Group. This is because they're the biggest magazine publisher in the U.K and have been involved in the industry since 1953. As my magazine has potential and them being the leaders in the industry I believe they will be the best magazine to distribute my magazine because with their help my magazine could go into the right hand (Target Market)

How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Double Page Spread 3 (After feedback)

This is my final update for my double page spread after the feedback of my peers. I have changed quite a bit as from my feedback and looking at it carefully I didn't quite like it. First thing I done was enlarge my picture and made it fill the entire page and put the pull quote underneath so that side of the page was not empty. Also for the Main Pull quote I changed the way I put it and put it across two pages which made it look more sharp. The background colour was changed as you can notice and put red background for the Main Pull quote and the introduction as it makes the text stand out more. Finally I added a bottom strip and included the Masthead, Date and the website.

Content Page Update 3 (After feedback)

This is my last update for my contents page and as you can see it's finished! I changed the font from the last update as I felt like it didn't suit the page too well. I added a editors letter as every professional magazine seems to have included it in their contents page so I felt like it'll only be right if I do too. Finally social media links were added as I felt like there was a gap up there which I had to fit.

Front Cover Update 4 (After peer feedback)

Hello everyone this will be last update on my front cover as I feel like I've finished. As you can see there's lots of changes. First of all I added the cost and the date of my magazine on the bottom left hand corner along with the bottom strip as I felt the bottom side of my magazine was left empty. Then I added some FX to ''Exclusive Interview'' as it was hard to read. As you see I've added 'The Top 50 hottest tracks of the year as my issue was published in December and I felt like it would be a good feature to include as it's relatable to the season it's issued on.
