Skills Audit- Post Production

I used photoshop to manipulate my images and create a magazine, developing it un till i made it the best I could do.

Skills Audit- Digital Technology

I made a magazine on photoshop creating effects and manipulating images, over the process I have become better at using photoshop. I used the internet to research into magazines of a similar criterior to my one, helping me see what the audience of those magazines like to see, in turn helping me with my magazine.

Skills Audit- Real media conventions

I tried to find a usp for a magazine. I researched into diff magazines and tried to think of an idea that hadn't been done, yet would still sell. When looking into magazines I found that there was a lot of rap magazines that were American, I thought that this would be a good concept for London artists too.

Skills Audit- Research and planning

I created surveys for students between 16-18 to find a target audience for my music magazine, once I did that I researched into the kind of magazines that that audience preferred. I then thought of an idea and stuck to it. I researched into possible artists that i knew and would be able to get hold of, whilst thinking of what I would like to ask in a magazine to intrest readers. I planned out all of my magazine before i created it on photoshop, making it as similar as possible yet changing were relevant, particularly after audience feedback.

Skills Audit- Creative Development

My music magazine is the most creative piece of corsework that I created. I came up with an original concept based on my music taste as well as what I would want to buy myself, and what I believe would sell in London, particularly for young teenagers. I believe coming up with ideas and bringing the most out of them was my most creative strength.
When i thought of the idea that I wanted my magazine to be based on, i tried to develop that idea based on research from other magazines and talking to students in my class of the target audience for my mag.
