What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing the product?
Blogger- I have learnt how to effectively use Blogger to communicate my work to my peers. I have also seen the problems that come with using Blogger and how to overcome these problems. For example the placement of images from Google Images etc.
Flickr- I had never used Flickr before this project and I have found it very useful and very easy to use. This was an invaluable asset in creating my magazine as I could access my pictures wherever I was so that I could finalise the pictures I was going to use even when I wasn't at college.
Facebook- I used Facebook to find my model for my magazine. Without Facebook and the contact abilities that it has it would have been a lot harder to find a suitable model for my magazine.
Scribd- I have used Scribd to upload various documents to make them available for my peers on my blog using Blogger. This increased upload speed of the blog posts as it would have taken a lot longer because of the amount of text used.
E-Mail- I used email to broaden my search for a model as my first model wasnt want I was looking for and didnt suit the style of my magazine. I contacted someone that I knew who put me in contat with some models. However I did not find a suitable model that was willing to travel down to do the shoot. Eventhough I didnt find someone, email was a very effective tool that I used.
Photoshop-Without Photoshop I would not have been able to compile and create my magazine. It allowed me to use all of the tools that I would have needed to create a magazine that looked professional and effective.

Who would be the audience for your media product?

(PICTURE HERE)

My audience would read my magazine because the artist that I have focussed on is very edgy and different which my audience is very much made up of. The artist also shares a lot of interests with the audience such as retro pop culture in the form of movies and video games. The age of the artist is also similar to the age range of the audience that will be reading the magazine. This will help them maybe relate to the issues that are faced by people of their age group. This would give the magazine a bit more of a personal touch and and really connect with the target audience.
I think that the way that my magazine can be bought will also be favourable to my target audience as one of their main interests is the internet. If they can access/order the magazine online then the chances that they will should increase phenomenally as phone orders are not as popular or as widely used now. My audience will shop online a lot but will also head out to shop at specialist shops for various unique fashion items unlike the other mainstream clothingworn by the majority of other teens.
My audience wouldn't tend to watch a lot of TV but the things they would watch would probably be on Netflix and they would often take part in what is called 'TV Binge Sessions'. This is where they would find a series on Netflix (Eg Breaking Bad) and watch one or two series non stop. The type of TV they would watch would probably be Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead and various other American TV Series.
