Evaluation on Magazine
What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
throughout the year i have looked at a variety of magazines and the way they are constructed and advertised. There are lots of ways to create a magazine that is eye catching and can grab the target audiences attention above all others. All magazine producers such as 'Mixmag' or 'NME' all have specific target audiences and this helps them to construct a magazine around them that will suit their likes and dislikes. There are many steps to creating  amagazine such as the editing .... the photography.... featured artists etc.. 
Many magazines are all fighting to be recognized by a variety of audiences.

I have used photoshop to create a magazine that is eye catching and can hopefully grab my target audiences attention when it is on the shelf. To create that though i had to learn to use photoshop firstly and i started with the basics learning how to bring an image of my choice onto the screen and then distort it to make it look different for example the burn tool can make the image seem hazy and create a cool effect. Other ways you can distort your image would be using the crop tool ... smudge tool.. even changing the pixel size can create a cartoony effect!

Another piece of technology ive had to learn is the use of Blogger. This is where ive been posting all the updates of my magazine giving a step by step evaluation on how the process went. I have posted images of a variety of contents pages and front pages analysing them on their specific target audiences and the way in which they have achieved their aims.
