Evaluation Question 7 - Looking Back at Your

Evaluation Question 6 - What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

For my product, I used an imac; this was for all of my research and planning, including my product. I used this imac because it has a range of professional programmes on it, that I was able to use, this made my product look professional. I made use of the programmes the imac had to offer, but I also used websites that helped me such as www.dafont.com- where I could have a wider range of fonts for my product, and www.prezi.com for my research and planning.




To take all of my pictures for my product, I used this professional camera, and for my pictures I also used a professional lighting studio, this meant I was able to change the settings of the camera and lights to make the image become what I wanted it to look like. I was able to eliminate shadows by being able to change the lighting settings which made my images look clearer and sharper to the audience. I have learnt about how to take different photos, and learnt the ways you can or should take a photo, and was able to show this in my images. I was able to take the shot I wanted by changing the lighting settings and the camera settings.

Following secondary research in the initial stages of my product i found the audience of  KERRANG! and NME magazine was teenagers who were interested in Indi music. I then conducted some primary research which suggested what my target audience were interested in, and helped me to decide what colour scheme and how i would design my magazine. Therefore i will make my target audience teenagers and people into their early twenties who are interested in to a slightly different taste of music, which will be Indi.
