Evaluation Plan (Part 2)
4. Who would be the audience for your media product?
- From an overview my audience would be that of young people, more specifically mid-late adoloescents.
- There is no specific gender in which my magazine is intended for, in this m magazine will not seem controversial, further, in sales my magazine would generate far more money as there would be twice the amount of peole buying my magazine rather than if there was only one gender buying.
- Plus, only selling to one main gender would restrict productivity in my magazine as it would become labelled meaning it would be able to grow as a brand.
- Without trying to seem arrogant my magazine would most likely appeal to people of middle-upper class. Not dismissing people of lower-class as they would be more than welcome to buy my magazine but through presentation and fashion used by artists it would seemingly not be suited to them.
5. How did you attract /address your audience?
- In order to add real insentive for my readers, I have implimented prizes for competitons, for example winning a trip to another country or winning clothes. The clothes idea I found to be fairly crucial as my magazine has the intention to be quite fashionable, and the youth reading my magazine will most likely as it were 'be in the know' fashion wise, therefore this aspect will or should appeal to them.
- To attract my audience I have used a contrast in colours. I have used a vibrant explosive yellow as well as using a black to compliment it. Using yellow as a main colour hopefully should engage the reader's eye and stand out.
- To relate to new media devices, I have expanded my magazine on to multiple media sources, for example through instagram, twitter, facebook and through the use of an app also.
- My use of expanded media is in keeping with the uses and gratifications theory. This is as all of the media sources I have placed 'POWER' magazine in/onto are all for audience manipulation, meaning the audience have the ability to explore and investigate everything about 'POWER' on their own accord.
6. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing the product?
- In order to produce my magazine I used the software 'Adobe InDesign'. This software allowed me to formulate and edit my magazine, whilst also giving it a professional feel/look.
- To capture my photographs I used a canon camera, for me this camera was great insight into new technologies, as it showed me how indepth and detailed production can be in the modern era.
- During the use of the camera, postioning and lighting became two major factors. Positioning in relation to this camera was very good as the camera was dynamic and diverse allowing me to take quality images from a wide range of different angles.
- For my final product I did use photoshop as I felt my photos would stand out greater with added effects. Photoshop as a software itself is very useful as it has a large library of devices in which one can enhance their work a great deal. Features; include effects...........
- InDesign I found to be of great use. The amount resources within the programme is outstanding. I used my techniques during the process of creating my magazine. These techniques included
7. Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
- Since starting on my magazine I have gathered many technical skills
- When first approaching my school magazine task, I was skeptical about how to make the magazine detailed and how to make it stand out.
- I did however gather the basics of the program and simple conventions of magazines. For example in the school magazine on the front cover I used a bold main title and used thumbnails for other articles.
- However for the contents page, the layout was very basic and lacked character. As I used a non-appealing font alongside few pictures.
- In comparison to my music magazine the 'Haydon Weekly', looks under developed and weak.
- Through the extensive use of 'InDesign' and teacher discussion, I have managed to understand techniques and features to add to my projects in order to improve them, therefore the reasoning behind why my music magazine is so much more detailed and bolder than my original school magazine.

Feedback 2
This week I took 5 photos of my magazine from the computer on my mobile phone. I took these photos home and showed them to my parents and a few friends, this was the feedback I gathered.
Feedback from Parents:
Mum: "Ross' new magazine design is very different from his original idea. I believe that the changes he has made are made for the better as there is a new found dynamism in his work, whereas before his ideas were good but fairly plain. The only criticism I would make is that all his images are very similar and aren't too eye catching."
Dad: "I like Ross' new magazine design. In all fairness I from what I remember him saying I preferred his original idea but I do think that this final magazine he will use is of a high standard. When speaking to him about this, Ross said his first colour scheme consisted of mostly of blue, and obviously in comparison this colour scheme is much opposed. But I do like this colour scheme of yellow and black, rather than the idea of blue. I do think his imaging is too the same and needs to be changed."
Feedback from Friends:
Friend 1: "His magazine is very decent. I'm not too sure on the colour scheme of black and yellow, personally I would change to red and white. I do however like his text style and use of font as they are quite easy on the eye and don't pose a harsh or harsher feel. I spoke to Ross' mum about his magazine and we both agreed that he imaging is far too similar. Ross has asked me if I could be used as a model in a photoshoot. I am more than happy help and will try and make sure Ross gets some decent images for his magazine."
Friend 2: " The last time Ross showed me his magazine ideas and told me what he would like to do was quite a while ago. From what I remember, his design has changed drastically. Most notably he has changed the colour scheme and images. I take media at A-level also, we have to carry out the same task as well, and in comparison to mine I would say Ross' is much better than mine and a lot more developed. If Ross uses this idea well, I reckon he can receive high marks."
