magazine terminology

  How did you integrate technologies – software, hardware and online – in this project? For the development of the magazine I used several technologies to produce the final product. Hardware and software assist in producing media. Hardware technology used to produce the project were just laptop, camera, and usb DSLR Camera was used for high quality shoot and was one of the most important component as it made the magazine pictures look professional Along with this Laptop was used extensively for post-production of the magazine, it was essentially used to Blog, Photoshop the magazine and edit pictures. Usb was used to store the images and the Photoshop files whenever we needed to. This made it much more convenient to work on my magazine anytime I wanted to. The softwares which I used were Photoshop, for the construction of the magazine for both the preliminary and final magazine.

  How did your production skills develop throughout this project? My media studies blog was my first actual blog, I didn’t know much about Photoshop, Illustrator and their uses, however they developed over time starting from the preliminary tasks. I learnt the importance of camera, shots and angles. For my print media task in AS, the development of the magazine was done by extensive research and planning on my genre.

In order for my magazine to be successful, I must make sure to know exactly what my target audience requires, that was made possible by carrying out market research in the shape of an online questionnaire targeted to people around the ages 18-25 years and according to their feedback I was able to add content that I knew would appeal to them. The color scheme used in both th

    Q1. HOW DOES YOUR PRODUCT USE OR CHALLENGE CONVENTIONS AND HOW DOES IT REPRESENT SOCIAL GROUPS OR ISSUES?    The media product I decided to make for my main task magazine was a Flower magazine .  The magazine overall uses many conventions which an ordinary flower magazine would use because using conventions that are already implied and widely understood is a scope which any magazine can gain along with this I wanted to make it exclusive and different from the rest of the magazine.  The colors were bright as it and eye catching as it targets a young audience. I used a unique font for the masthead on my cover page and for the rest of the cover lines, I used different fonts because using too many different kinds of fonts would attract the viewers’ attention as to what is written at various spots. Since  target market for flowers reaches  across all genders , Women appear to be more likely to crave roses than men, coinciding with , children too love flowers and their scents , I used c
