Hello...what's up?

1. 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 both the uses of Photoshop, InDesign and illustrator and the specific uses; I have learnt the difficulty in creating an organised magazine and the advanced techniques needed to create so (shortcut keys). Also I have gathered a more specific knowledge on magazines and social tribes, and within my evaluation the need to create videos rather than just using slideshows or plain text as it could be interpreted more clearly…hopefully; also I have noticed magazine common mistakes and avoided similar mistakes which almost occurred but of course met new challenges within InDesign and illustrator.
1. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
I have learnt how to operate Photoshop to a more advanced manner and also why Photoshop is a photo editing tool rather than a magazine creating software, InDesign though hard and occasionally needed to edit with is very complex and also I have learnt on how to create an organised magazine in InDesign with columns to keep structure.
1. How did you attract/address your audience?
By the formatting within the magazine, bright colours and internet link, young faces, characters gender, scenery, text. The format is relatively simple so both sex should still have no negative effect upon this feature the background shows elegance and is quite a sophisticated to attract the older audience but this is accompanied by extremely bright colours to attract the young audience also though the main page is filled with images of girls the articles show that males are also the audience.
1. Who would be the audience for your media product?
The target audience for my magazine is very obvious, adults, adolescents of both genders (male & female) from the ages 14-20+ of a social tribe of both jazz or classical groups & rnb groups; it is made clear in my magazine by its content effects and also because of the level of literacy within the article and for the younger audience as an alternative source of information if failing to comprehend or gain interest an internet link is stated within the front page.
The audience within the magazine are supposedly from the age of 16 + making both age groups gain interest because of feeling of relation, also with the range of colours both audience are also attracted.
