2. During my research I used the internet to help me find out information about existing magazines such as
their codes and conventions and their target audiences. I found that magazines Media Packs were very
helpful.
Here is a list of websites/media packs I found helpful.

3. I used social media site Facebook
to contact me focus group for help
all the way through my production.
I either used my laptop, my mobile
phone or my iPad to talk to them on
our private group.
I also used Blogger to post all
my research, focus group
comments and mock ups.
4. To present my research and these evaluation questions I have used Slideshare
an Prezi.
Slideshare is easy to use as you just press the upload button and choose what
powerpoint you want to use. Prezi is a bit more complicated as it is a lot more
technical but once I got the hang of it I was fine.
5. To create my website I used website creator site Wix which was easy to use as
it offered me lots of templates to use so I picked one and added my own text
and images in.
6. I used photoshop to create my magazine front cover, contents page, advert
page and my billboard. This is my second year using photoshop so I found it
easy as I learnt most of what I need to know last year. However I had forgotten
how to put an image in front of text so I had to use YouTube to look up a tutorial
for this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eavf0dNs8UQ
I also looked at a couple of lighting tutorials on YouTube to refresh my memory
after my focus group said my lighting wasn’t very good -

I also used YouTube to watch a tutorial on how to make black and white images
stand out on Photoshop - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FS3KiwKr65Q
