Evaluation: Question 3

Upon relection I believe that Bauer Media was a good choice for my magazine. I picked Bauer media before I had designed my magazine due to the fact they are a large company which distributes magazines all over the world.
I believe Bauer media was and still is a vaid choice this is due the the fact that Bauer distributes magazines which are similar to mine. My magazine would fit into the style and image Bauer magazine creates. Bauer creates a magazine called Kerrang this is a rock magazine for teenagers. This is why I am not sure that Bauer would take my magazine although it is different due to the fact that my magazine is a combination of two genres.
As my magazine was being produced I noticed that my TA had changed, my age range had got older this ment it became sutible for 16-21 year olds this is due to the sophisticated feel my magazine creates and the interlectual yet fun DPS my magazine has.


 Bauer magazine is a radio, tv and magazine distubuter with a multi channel stratery, Bauer is known by many teenagers for Kerrang and Q. With much research I learnt that Bauer has no Indie/Rock magazines which means that it would distribute my magazine.

Evaluation: Question 4+5

 This is a slidly of my TA audience before I started my magazine. As I started to design my magazine my TA changed.


  • Age changed to 16-18
  • Became more female oriented 
  • Based more on rebel teens
  • More based around rock
  • Based more around Indie
  • More sophisticated 






Question 5:

I attracted my audience by using 3 models, these were a female in a corset who was the main model and my star. A young female with a guitar and a male on a bicycle. With my star being dressed in a corset it was more seductive and 'badass' this attracted rebellious teens both male and female. Because I used 2 females this made my magazine more appealing to women who want to rebel and are strong although with having the 2 females dressed seductively did attract a male gaze.

Evaluation: Question 6

Throughout this course I have used many different types of technology. Such as:
Blogger 
Adobe elements 11
Mac
Cannon camera
Scanner&printer
Iphone 4s/5s
Niice.com
Hyperlinks
Slidely
Word cloud
Text & screengrabs
Prezis 
Flickr 
Facebook
Memory card reader 
Thinglink and many more.
There was many difficult things which I had to face when using some items of technology. Just like adobe elements this I found supprisingly difficult this was because of all the new pieces of technology and elements that was combined in this item. Although when creating my magazine I did enjoy editing and changing the images to suit the look I was going for.

At first I did find using blogger unsual this was because I had never written a blog before and the layout was slightly difficult and different. Although I have enjoyed using this piece of technology. I elso enjoyed using items such as slidley although I found embedding the slidley into my blog difficult and did have to ask for help a fair few times. I enjoyed using prezi as well although certain items of it I did find slightly hard. Such as I kept creating random areas which I did not know how to delete.

Evaluation: Question 7

When looking back onto my college magazine to now with my music magazine I can see clear differences to the two items. My college magazine was rushed and looks very ill experienced where as my music magazine shows the time I took and the amount of work I put into the piece. Throughout the two pieces of work I have produced I am very proud of my self with the improvement and commitment I made to making sue my music magazine was the best piece I could create. Although if I could put more time into my pieces I would have added more detail and time into my content page as I believe this is my weakest page.






 My final college magazine.
