The document summarizes the student's evaluation of their magazine project. They found the research phase, including examining existing products, to be most useful as it helped them understand what to include. They created mind maps and a mood board to plan their magazine idea. The student felt they managed their time well to complete the production work, though had some difficulties with InDesign. They aimed to make the magazine look professional by including studio photos. The finished product was intended to appeal to a wide audience across ages, genders, and those interested in horror stories.

2. Research
I found the research pages really useful. The first thing I looked at was
the existing products which allowed me to investigate what a magazine front
page, a magazine double page and an audience profile looked like. This meant
I could see what to include in my own product so I didn’t include unnecessary
features that wouldn’t match. I thought about what made the audience read
magazine such as these. I felt like my strength in the research section was
doing the existing products research and this helped my project by me
knowing what kind of images, fonts and articles would make a magazine
looked good. The areas that were not helpful were that there were that
there wasn't a lot more research projects for me to do which would have
improved my final product a lot more

3. Planning
I did several things to plan my final product. Firstly, I created an initial
reaction to my product. Then I created three mind maps with some
initial ideas on what my magazine could be about. Next, I created a final mind
map, discussing my final magazine idea as well as the ideas I was going to add
within my magazine. Afterwards I created a mood board with at least fifteen
images that were related to my product and that were inspirational or visually
interesting. After that I created a schedule of when I was going to do certain
tasks of my project. I found that my strengths in planning was creating the
mind maps that I needed to use to create my magazine and this helped
my product because I knew exactly what to put within my magazine. I found
that my weakness was creating my schedule as I'm not very good with time
management.

4. Time Management
I felt like I have managed my time well and I successfully finished my
production work on time. To start off with I created my magazine front over
using photoshop,then after that I created my double page spread using
InDesign and then finally I started my evaluation. I think that I would have
done better If had understood how to use InDesign and I was difficult for me
to edit everything precisely.

5. Technical Qualities
To make my magazine as professional as it could be I added in actual studio photos of the actors
so it would look like the photos would be photographed by professional photographers

6. Aesthetic Qualities
My work is not as great as a proffesional magazine but I tried to make

8. Audience Appeal
The overall audience that my finished product would appeal to is anybody from all ages and
from all sex’s. It still doesn’t specially aim at any social group or psychographic. My final piece
would also appeal to anybody who loves horror stories and creepypastas as well as audio
dramas. My products would appeal to them because my product will cheap to buy because I
would sell them to people that belong the belongers class and it would also apply to all genders
because my team is all inclusive of all genders.
