Question 5

This will be a Voice over 

How did you attract/address your audience? 

On the front cover of my magazine, I advert a ‘Free Poster inside’ and also have an opportunity for the consumer to gain free tickets for a concert this draws the target audience. On the link to the website there is a ‘shop option’ where you can purchase merchandise which is made the artists themselves and many other things like they latest news, music plans, concerts, fan club. 


Question 4

This will be a Video


Who would be the audience for your media product? 

My target audience ranges from 16-25 this is mainly because I want to attract a younger audience and statistics have proven that mainly a younger audience listen to my genre of music. They do not have to be defined by a certain class, so it could be anyone from Low-to working class. The majority of people who listen to alternative rock tend to be of a white ethnicity but it doesn't matter for my magazine because can read it they can also be male or female. They have to have a good sense of style, someone who is trendy and interested in art, and music.

Question 6

Question 6 ( This question was completed in Microsoft Word) 

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



Prezi - Prezi – Presentation software online which can be used in different types of ways in terms of presenting for example you can have a current theme or layout. I used Prezi instead of PowerPoint presentation as I found it more interesting and different, it is also a great way to explore and present work. I learnt how to apply an image to the page and editing it by changing the size, also how to customize the background to a certain theme.

 Adobe In-Design- Adobe In Design- I can definitely between InDesign and Photoshop, I feel as that it is much more technical in terms of you have to know the basics before you start using the software. In InDesign it is harder to get an object in how you want it to be for example; placing an image you can’t change the size after doing so. You can also have to create your own layers so it isn’t done automatically like Photoshop, I learned how to apply a different font sizes so that it relates to the theme of my magazine.

Adobe Photoshop - 
Adobe Photoshop – is graphic editing software which I used for my front cover and double page spread. The first time I used Photoshop I did find it much easier to use than InDesign. We were given an ‘induction’ on how to use it and I understood much faster than InDesign; You have different layers every time you select something on the page, and you can re name by (right hand clicking layer properties )Other than that  I gained a few skills while using this software for example how change the effects of an image using brightness and contrast tool bar, how to place an image over a background by moving the layers over each other so that the image is over the background and is able to show.  


Timetoast -
Time toast – An online timeline which can be used by teachers and students. Our first task was create a timeline of our deadlines, I did find the deadlines a bit intimidating as the dates were so close to each other but time toast helped me to stay organised.
