Who would be the audience for your media product?

• I think my product will appeal to the 10-19 teen audience, and to

both girls and boys.

• My research included equal numbers of boys and girls and both

preferred to read about male bands, so this should appeal to both

• The colour scheme is fairly conventional for a rock magazine aimed

at a younger audience without the more subtle colouring that can

be seen in magazines aimed at an older audience

• Although I was writing about an all

male band I tried to make them appear

more “female friendly” by showing that

Chris has a son who is important to him

• I kept the language simple and sentence

length short to make the magazine more

accessible to a younger audience

• I didn’t attempt to make it appeal to a

particular social class or ethnic group as rock

music, in its different forms appeal to a wide

audience

• However teens from middle class homes

would probably identify most easily with the

band members as portrayed in the article

Audience Profile

• Age 10-19

• Male and female

• All ethnic groups

• Mainly middle class

What have you learnt about technologies from the

process of construction?

MacO I found using a Mac difficult at first

as I had never used one before.O After a while I learnt some key skills

like screenshots which was useful for the blog and taking pictures of how to do things.

O I now prefer Mac to Windows

Powerpoint/WordO I used Word for the article which I was

fairly confident withO I already knew how to do things like

spellcheck but I did learn how to use the dictionary function.

O Due to the fact I couldn’t access the full features of WordPress , I had to use PowerPoint for my blog

O Again I was already confident with PowerPoint

QuickTime PlayerO I used this in my blog to record my

evaluation and some of my research.O The things I learnt include audio

recording and screen recording with audio.

O There is an example of me using this in the video

PhotoshopO this was the most difficult technology I

usedO I had to use two different versions CS4 at

College and elements 11 at homeO I learnt how to select page size, unlocking

layers, placing images, outerglow, strokes, magic wand, lasso tool, red eye removal tool, brush tool, gradient tool and horizontal type tool.

O I also learnt how to merge layers togetherO Examples of this are in the video

PhotoShopO I learnt how to make a double spread

and make layersO I also learnt to make different boxes for

example quotes, columns and picturesO In the article I also used textwrap which

made it easier to organise the article.
