How well the assignment went overall

Creation of my Magazine
Overall i personally believe that the ceration of my magazine went very well although i had technical issues at times like losing my screenshots which caused lots of issues with catching up with the erst of the people that were already finishing off. The preliminary assignment i think played a great role in the making of my main assignment magazine becasue it helped me learn how the photoshop and indesign were being used, which was really important in order to come out with a good quality magazine. Furthermore the prelimianry assignment helped me with managing time beacause not ebing focused and not doing things properly when they had to be done meant that the whole magazine would be a failure and as a result not pass, however it also showd me how much eahc task would take therefore i was quite organised with the main assignment.
The quality of my main assignment was very good in comparison to the preliminary, because knowing how to use thing i advance means that you know what your are doing and that mistakes are unlikely. Therefore knowing how to use the software helped me edit photos to a good standard and meet my aim as to how i wanted the image(s) to look. Any problems that i came across were overcome easily, for example i had a problem witht he edited image on my double page spread, when i was trying to get a white shadow the trouser of the model was also coloured in white, however knowing how to use photoshop made it easy for me to overcome the problem, all i did was cut out from the original image and place it on the veryfirst layer of the image beign edited, therefore shows that lesson is learnt.

Attracting my target audience
I looked at other magazines and tried to identify how they attarcted their target audience for exmaple VIBE, how they attracted their r'n'b audience and how i attracted mine. For example similiar conventions were starplines and image. my image was not edited and so was VIBE'S front cover hardly edited. Which was a good thing because it showed that thats how they attracted their target audience- looking very original.

Representing particular social groups
My media product is designed in a similiar way to other magazines of its kind such as EBONY and VIBE- The people that are interested in r'n'b.

My magazine represents people thaat are interested in r'n'b, that are inbetween the age of 16 and 25. Which is the typical mass/popular culture that is made up of people that love going to raves and dancing to r'n'b music. However i have a good unique selling point or even a good source to advertise therefore people that own raves would be interested in advertisisng any events in my magazine so it does nto just represent the typical popular culture of dancers and music lovers but also people but also business owners. Another way that i represent the particular popular culture r'n'b listeners social groups is the images as shown in my mood board on my evaulation slides, which inspired me to put similar taglines etc. which attracts my social group very much for representing them.

ASSESSMENT FEEDBACK SHEET
The assessment feedback sheet was very useful for me to improve my magazine further. I almost altered the whole structure of the magazine, for example ic hanegd the font sizes on my double page spread and converted the whole front cover in to a new look however the reason for changing the whole front cover was feeback from peers rather my subject teacher, because they too gave me feedback and said that the front cover was not at all appealaing and neglecting male peers as a target audience.
On the assesment sheet, there was a 'medal', which was what ahd been done well and a 'mission', which was what could be improved. However my succes was that i had managed to hand in a magazine despite technical issues that i encountered. My mission was to change my front cover , to reduce font size adn make it bulge it so that it looked eye-catching.
