5.  The genre for my magazine was HipHop and R&B
as a hybrid along with fashion. I had aimed to
create my magazine aimed at 16-25 year old
males. After producing my preliminary I was
clearer about how my magazine should be laid
out, this was further confirmed after my research
on existing products. Market research helped me
understand the conventions and current design
that is appealing. I have further enhanced my
skills in photoshop as I have been able to
effectively manipulate my images.

6.  I have also learnt how to use a professional
camera of which I have had no previous
experience of working with. I learnt how to
manage the levels of exposure and focus to
make my images as clear as possible to they can
be easily and effectively manipulated. I also
learnt different angles of shot, however the
photos which I had decided to use with my
magazine were all mid shots so that the viewer
isn’t intimidated. I have also learned blogging
tools and upload methods of which I have used
throughout my blog.
