EVALUATION - Q4. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

EVALUATION - Q3. What have you learned from your audience feedback?

Firstly, I created a survey using Survey Monkey in order to attain audience feedback. After, I asked a number of friends to take part in this survey (friends who would typically both like and dislike this product and it's genre to avoid bias) before finally posting this onto my Facebook page for people to take part in. CLICK HERE to view the survey.

These images show my friends partaking in the survey.

From this I then went on to

create an audience profile to
show what I would expect
my target audience to be.
Shown in the image to the left.






Finally, I videoed my audience profile member in order to show how her interests reflect that of my magazine, shown below.

EVALUATION - Q2. How effective is the combination of your main products and ancillary texts?

EVALUATION - Q1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

I then went on the complete the recommended records part with previous CD covers I had made in AS and also a new one using an image I took as a tester for my magazine. I then created a rating chart for the records and a short information banner for readers to click on. This is a convention many websites use and something I decided to incorporate as I found it would be helpful to my target audience.

I then went on to create a hyperlinked page ready for my main hyperlinked page. I decided to make an interviews link in preparation for the article that would be placed from my double page spread. I chose to keep it fresh and simple as I would want readers to be able to quickly navigate around this and find what they're looking for.

Website: DEVELOPMENT 1

First, I picked a template for my website on Wix. After that I decided to dive in and start on the main body of my website. I decided to add a tour dates column as this is something most teenagers will be very interested in and it adds something unconventional to my magazine as I haven't seen any websites which feature something like this. I then planned what I would put alongside my tour dates, in whichI chose Latest News which is commonly shown on websites and Recommended Records, another popular header.

This is a development screen grab showing what the tour dates column looks like finished and the half completed Latest News column.

After first designing my Latest News column I decided to add some social media buttons as this is something all teenagers can relate to and makes the website look more realistic.

I then went on to add a header, navigation bar, my logo and an image slider. The image slider stays on all pages along with the navigation bar which adds for easy navigation and adds an element of structuralism to the page. I then added the banner as this is a common convention found on almost all websites. I chose to centre my logo and place it at the top of the page to create a flow for my website.

After adding the first image I decided colour wasn't appropriate for the image reel and so I decided to edit the images again into black and white. I then added a login/sign up button to add professionalism to the page and make it look more realistic.
