How does your finished prodct compare to your design?
overall,when looking at my design layout i changed some elements like where diffrent articles goes and changing some of the colour scheme but overall i feel my finished product is quite simular to may design shown in my blog.

How has technology,(computer,digital,printer)helped you turn your design into a real product?

overall,technology has palyed a big role in making my prodct come alive by using phot shop it had diffrent elements and tools i could use to make my product look like a excisting magazine and enabled me to choose from a range of fonts and colours.Furthermore the camera was used to take professional pictures which would be the process in excisting magaiznes and really make my visio into a reality.

Do you feel that yout product is suitable for your target audience?

Overall,when looking at my final magazine cover i feel it is a young elegant and slick magazine cover which covers young adults intrests so overall i feel it meets with my targt audience which was young adults.

Describe two challenges you have overcome?

The two challenges i had to overcome in this project, is learning how to use photoshop which i said above was vital in making my magazine and subsequently i now have a life long skill which will help me in other projects simular to this; and i will be able to construct what i need in photoshop in a smaller amount of time.

The second challenge i overcome was learning how to analyse magazine covers with the correct terms and how to analyse them in detail due to i needed to know what to include in my magazine and also get an idea on what i wanted my magazine to be like, and by overcoming this and learning the techinal terms and analysis i subsequenty new what i needed to include in the type of magazine i wanted to do and get a better grip on what the techincal terms were sunsequently resulting in me having a better final magazine cover due to this knowledge.

Describe the technical skills you have gained?

The technical skills i have gained, is how to copy an image onto photoshop which involves me opening a new photoshop document and copying it from there and enlarging it but for it not to go blurrey i learned to use the lock button which made the image high definiton.

Seondaly i learnt how to rotate and arrange text in photoshop and how to write text in photshop by using the T button.

excel spreadsheet on my questionnaire analysis of my final magazine cover

I used an excel spreadsheet to analyse my results from my questionnaire which was about my final magazine cover design. Firstly,overall the age range which came top overall was young adults ranging from 20-30 this matches with the age range i wanted to achieve due to the young adults are the people who would pay a larger amount of money to buy my magazine then say a teenager. Overall, the feedback from my secondary features were mainly positive people mainly ticked yes due to they liked the range of different secondary features and the uniquness of all of them and would appeal to a wide variety of people they liked that i included cooking,holidays,fashion and fashion fopars which was my version of classier gossip however to improve people said that i could include more about the new in trends and how to get a classy look at a lower price i may include this but it may again cheapen my magazine.When looking at the layout and colour scheme feedback lots of people liked the range of colour due to i decided to add purple aswell due to it complimented the picture however in the end i didnt put the main feature headline at the bottom due to i thought it would take away focus from the main image;also they liked how the name was bordering the magazine they said i framed the picture and mae it stand oyut from other magazines and overall due to not haveing tacky colours and tacky affects e.g. a pug they thought it looked very expensive which was what i wanted to achieve.I had postive feedback about the name for my magazine and the font due to they like the uniqness and the font which i changed from my orginal idead due to it gave it more elegance really caught there attention the only critcism is that maybe when bordering the name around the magazine each name could have a diffrent fobnt to give uit a uniqye twist however i feel that would make my magazine more tacky.Furthemore,they rated my magazine of the price between £2-4 they said its reasonable due to the wuality of the magaizne,and they liked the idea of the first isssue having a special price due to they feel it will draw people in so my special price could be £2.50 subvsequntly more people will buy it giving it a bigger profuit to start with and then more people will get to know the magazine make.And lastly,they liked my main image due to they like that its a close up due to you can see who its talking about and the image looks like its beeen professionally taken so this makes my magaizne worthey of a higher price and they liekd how it matched the colour scheme and also that i used a well known celebritiy than someone people dont know this could boost my sellings.
