Evaluation Question 7:
Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
I have learnt alot in the process of creating my music magazine, espcially about targeting my audience and about making my magazine have a house style. My college magazine was very bland and boring however my music magazine is very busy and has alot more style to it. I paid attention to how each part of my magazine would target my audience like the colours, images, articles and the layout of the page. In my college magazine I didnt really know what my target audience was therefore I made it look quite girly however my music magazine was aimed at both so I used different colours I also kept to three colours meaning that it looked professional.

Evaluation Question 6:
What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
I used this camera to take the image for my magazine so that they were high quality.
I used a imac to create my magazine as this allowed me to use all the software together. It allowed me to use photoshop, iphoto and it also allowed me to import images and export images to the internet and blogger. It also allowed me to use the adobe creative suite.
I used blogger to document my progress and research and planning.
I used adobe illustrator to help create my magazine before exporting into photoshop to edit further
I used photoshop to create my front cover and my contents page. I also used to it edit images for example I made my image black and white to fit better for my house style

I used indesign to create my double page spread as it was easier to lay the text out than on photoshop.

Evaluation Question 4
Who would be the audience for your media product? Why?
I have chosen to draw this person as they listen to the music by the artists featured in my magazine and also goes to the gigs as well as she is wearing a band t-shirt. She is also only slightly younger than the artists in my magazine which means that she may inspire to become the artists and see herself in their in a few years. She also watches television programs which are youth orientated which may feature music by the artists. She also has dyed her hair to a color similar to one of the artists featured in my magazine.

Evaluation Question 2:
How does your media product represent particular social groups?
- They both have a open posture however my artists seems much more open as she has her body is positioned more to the reader.
- Both the image from Kerrang and my image are at eye level so that the readers feel that they are connecting to the artist.
- I used a long shot in my image as I wished to show the background as it fitted with the name of my article 'Going Solo' as she is alone in a forest.
- The image from Kerrang is in a studio therefore It will be in high key lighting. I didn't use any lighting as there was enough natural light where I took the image and I didn't wish to make it too bright. I also felt it wouldn't look like the artist was in a forest and wouldn't fit the article that it goes with.
- Both the artist in Kerrang and my artist are wearing dark colours although Amy Lee is wearing much darker colours only black. I decided not to do this as I felt that it was too rock for my magazine and this wasnt the look I was going for. However my artist has dark eye make up on as Amy Lee does but my artist has bright lipstick on to make it feel less dark and more indie. My artist is wearing more casual clothing than Amy Lee as I felt that It would look very out of place in the surroundings that my artist was in, if she was dressed like Amy Lee.
- Both have a slight smile but dont seem especially happy as this isnt expected of a Indie artist.
- Both have long dark hair however my artist has straight hair which looks more natural. My artist has dark purple which goes with her outfit.
