This slidely shows the progress i have made when it comes to these technoligies. I now understand the importance of layouts when it comes to making a magaziner and the use of appropriate pictures as you cann see towards the start of the course my skills were limited and the work i produced was baasic to say the least, i then went on to add approproate fonts which add to the genre and theme of my music magazine, i undestand the importance of pictures as they what make the magazine stand out and identifiable with the correct postures clothes and poses adding to the selected genre, it is vital to make adjustments to suit my target audience which i now think i have fulfilled.

Question 6

What have I learnt about new technoloigies?

Whilst the production of my magazine i have used a number of different technoigies and software, these have helped me to edit my magazine and make appropriate changes and alterations. The first technology i had to come to terms with was blogger. This is a quick and simple way in which to publish my work for it to be seen and to gain feedback in the comments section which allowed me to make appropriate changes to my media work. The first thing i used blogger for was to analyse a music magazine front cover which allowed me to gage ideas on how to present my very own front cover. It is clear to see with the progression of work that my technological capabilities have increased. Before i struggled with the orientation of my posts and the placement of pictures. I have also learnt about how to link other websites to my blog, some of these are programs like Prezi, Flikr and Soundcloud.

 

I have learnt to embed links to my blog which allows my bliog to be far more presentable and allwos me to use a wider range of technology, the same goes for programms such as prezi and thinglink.

 

I have learnt how to edit work on firewroks apporpriately when it comes to adding pictures and effects to the page and what changes to make on how to make it look far more professional. In doing things like changing the font colour and size of the terxt and in which order i put my pictures with the buitmap orientation on the ride side of the page

Another technology i had to come to terms with is Prezi which allows me to present information in a far more organised fashion, it allowed me to add pictures and choose an appropraite theme depending on the context of the presentation, i had to learn how to imbed these onto my blogs appropraietly.

I also learnt to use programes such dafont which ultimately allowed me to make an approproate masthead and gage ideas of what would be suitable for my very own magazine, it has wide range of fonts which could be appropraite for many magazines depending on their genres and what fits the magazine best.

It has a wide range of choices withj many different styles which is able to download and incorporate this with what ever funtion they need it for.

Another technology i used was flikr qwhich was helpful when giving some orientation with the pictures i used and allowed me to gain feedback from this with the use of comments which allowed me to make appropraite improvemtns to the pictures i had already taken.

Question 5

Question 4

Who would be the audience for my media product? My magazine appeals to those who are intersted in my niche which is urban grime,k and are into new and upcoming artists such as Tempa T and Bugzy Malone, it does not relate to the mainstream music, My magazine will appeal to teenagers around 14-24 as my genre is relatively new so would typically appeal to those of a younger genreation and largely males as most of grime artists are male and relate to hobbies and activities that males are into as a pose to females, males are typically the mass fan base for this genre so i adapted my magazine to appeal to them. Many of my target audience are into street fashion such as Bape which is features throughout my magazine which could potentially relate to my audience. The class and status in temrs of my audience, it would be fair to say it would appeal to those of a lowr class as many of the lyrics these artists make illustrate the struggle that these people went through which could strongly relate to my audience, these poeople are protrayed as young thugs who roam the streets most of these have an interst in thre lives of other people who grew up in deprived areas and are interested in their very own life experience from where they grew up places like Manchester, Birmingham and London.

The Look Of My Target Audience
 These are the type of people who are into this Genre of music and arfe into other aspects of urban street culture including street c;othes including 'BAPE', things such as garments and trainers are very popular when coming to urban music ass style and ideologies are vital when relating to the streets as you can see my audience will tend to have a very unique style compared to other genres and are typically not from an upper class background therfore i have taken apporporaite measures to ensure my magazine appeals to them
