Evaluation: Question Six

I used blogger to record my progress with my magazine. It was good because it meant I could see my progress in front of me, and all my notes in regards to research were all in one place. People can also comment, which was useful for audience feedback

I used an iMac to produce all of my work. It was more useful than a pc as imacs are designed specifically for creative use.

I used ishowu to record elements of what I have learned during this task

Prezi is a good method of storing information in a presentable way. My prezis helped me to stay focused on what I had to do with my magazine

Photoshop was the program I used to create my magazine front page, contents page and double page spread. It's a great program as there is so much you can do with it, and I feel it was the best program I could've used in the editing of pictures and creation of my magazine

Evaluation: Question Five

How did you attract/address your audience? on Prezi

Evaluation: Question Four

Who are your audience? Why?

Kelly is a typical member of my target audience because she loves the music featured. She's the sort of person where the music she listens to forms part of a soundtrack to her life and defines her completely. Because of this, music is more than just listening to tracks to her. She loves knowing interesting facts about her favourite bands, and has been to so many gigs and signings that she could probably write a biography about some of her favourite indie stars.
