Evaluation Question 6-What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

The different technologies that I used for my magazine are: 

Blogger I updated regularly with posts of how I was getting on with my magazine and this is where I uploaded my pictures of my models and also magazine ideas prior to making the magazine.

 I used Flickr to answer questions on how my cover, contents and double page spread and how I would distribute my magazine.

 I used the SLR camera's to take the shots of my models for the different pages of my magazine.

I used Prezi because it is a different way of showing the audience about the fonts colours and other things I used when I was creating my magazine.

 I used Photoshop to actually create my magazine cover, contents and double page spread.

I used In Design to help me create the columns on my double page spread and my contents page so it would be easier to add the text and it would look more professional.

Evaluation Question 5-How did you attract/address your audience?

   

How did you attract your audience? on Prezi

Evaluation Question 4-Who would be the audience for your media product? why?

The target audience for my magazine would be students as there will be a much higher amount that buy music magazines at around the age of 16-19 than any other age. Stereotypically R'n'B music is aimed at males but I have decided to aim my magazine at males and females and this is the reason why I drew this picture as a male. My target audience would most likely shop at shops like Topman, River Island and they would mainly only really watch the music channel as this is their main interest.

Evaluation Question 2-How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Posture
I took the image of my friend in the same style of the image on the right, I made it so it was a low angle of him so it makes him look more arrogant and powerful and like he is looking down on you. Some of the Hip Hop/ RnB artists out there seem to powerful in many ways, like Chris Brown for example influences millions of people with his actions and how he does things so the posture has to make him look powerful which is what he actually is.

Shot type
The shot type that I used while I was taking this image was a medium shot and I chose this particular shot because when I took this image I had the image on the right in mind, so I had to tell him what pose to do and I would do the right shot. Again, because I knew music artists make themselves look powerful when they have there photographs taken so that is the type of shot I went for, to try and make my model look powerful and try to influence other people.

Lighting
I took the image outside so I didn't have to worry about having the flash on/off while I was taking this picture. The lighting outside was perfect for the type of image that I wanted so all I had to do was actually take the picture.

Costume
The costume that my model is wearing looks good with the genre of magazine that I have made. The colours go well with the rest of my magazine and same with the image on the right hand side, the clothes on that image go well with that magazine. The clothing is very simple and is what most people seem to be wearing, just a simple T-shirt or a jacket and some jeans look smart and reflect the R and B genre of music.

Hair
The hair that my model already had was good for the genre of music I was doing anyway, so I didn't have to change his hair style in anyway and as the picture on the right side also has the same hair style as my model. This is the type of hair style that you see regularly and it is a stereotype of what you think someone would look like who listens to this genre of music.
