Evaluation Question 6

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

I have learnt numerous things about the variety of technologies I have used throughout this media course, such as photoshop, I knew I was going to be creating a magazine so I decided to make a mock magazine using photoshop.

This was the mock magazine that I created to get feed back from so my final product would have improved, as you can see my photoshop skills are pretty poor, I ended up doing a critical analysis on this magazine front cover which helped me improve my ideas for my final magazine cover.

Now you will see my final magazine cove, as you can see my photoshop skills haven't really improved but I made it fit the genre for rock and metal and got  my ideas from that kind of magazine.

During this media course I've used blogger a lot, google docs for questionnaires and youtube as part of my research tasks as proof of points I try to make, such as why I think rock and metal music is hectic and out of control with their targeted audience.

I  used a lot of youtube videos for my research for example;

Here is a video of a Slipknot concert, this is how they speak to their fans and how their fans react, this proves what I'm saying about rock and metal music being hectic and informal.

This is how I used my research on youtube fit into my blog and make it make sense and relate it to my magazine.

As you saw in the third question of my evaluation, I used Google search to find out information I needed to complete my work, such as researching the distribution companies that own / publish Kerrang! Magazine, the distribution company is in fact Bauer Media.
