Final evaluation.

Overall I think that my media product uses develops and challenges forms and conventions that would be expected in real media products. From making my magazine I have learnt to use Photoshop. I used Photoshop to make my magazine as it had all the features that I needed to make my magazine. I
I think this because I have made sure to include all the different aspects of real magazine such as little things like the bar code, the issue number and the date. Even though these are only the minor aspects of the magazine they make it more realistic because every magazine includes this.
I have also included the more major aspects with when people buy a magazine look at such as the title of the magazine and the additional articles, which i have made sure stand out so people can notice them, which is what media products aim to do so.
I think that overall my magazine indicates from the front cover the brief impact of what will be inside it and it shows that it is about all round college aspects and not just one certain subject etc.My media products audience is aimed at particularly students aged 16-19 years which is the age that they would presume to be if they were attending college. It would also be aimed at some students in year 11 aged 15 and 16 which could give them the chance to read the magazine before they came to the college in order for them to know what to expect at the college. It could also be aimed at the parents of students to read in case that there is something that they would want to know about the college, or what is going on, or how to get something for there son/daughter etc.
I designed my front cover in order to make sure that it stands out to the audience and so it will catch there eye when they see it. The way that i addressed my audience was that i made sure in the additional articles that they new what it was aimed at. I also used bright colours and made them stand out so that it would attract them to my magazine. My magazine would be in-house production.
The college would produce it itself and get it published by the local publisher. The magazine would be published for many reasons such as to promote the college. The magazine could be used to get people that are thinking about joining next year and make it look good for them. It could also be used to promote such things are exams and the results that it achieves to show how good it is to the parents as well at the students.
I have learnt from the preliminary task how to use Photoshop and design my own magazine. I have learnt to be able to develop my skills in to the next task and to be able to use it better to produce a magazine, contents and double page spread.
