Evaluation 6

The document discusses the tools and platforms used to create a magazine as part of a course. Blogger was used to document progress through blog posts uploading goals, reflections, research, planning, and evaluations. It provided an organized electronic way to track ideas and productions compared to printing. Photoshop was used to digitally edit images and create pages, applying tools like levels, brightness, and spot healing to improve image quality to magazine standards. Dafont and Prezi were also utilized, with Dafont providing downloadable fonts and Prezi allowing demonstrations on a virtual canvas.

Reader profile

The survey results showed that the target audience for the magazine is females aged 16-21. Most respondents listened to indie rock and pop music and shopped at Topshop and H&M. Selling the magazine monthly for £2.50 was recommended as it would allow time to write about monthly events and gather feedback to include in each issue. Bold, vibrant colors on the cover were preferred as they make the magazine more fun.

Inside the park where the photo shoot is planned, there is a risk of litter such as glass bottles that could cut or injure someone. There is also a risk of fallen tree branches that could be sharp. To minimize these risks, the area will be checked for hazards before the shoot and a low-risk location away from trees will be chosen. The shoot is planned for dawn on a dark, dry night to achieve the desired effect. Backup plans are in place in case of issues like bad weather or an inability of the model to make it at the scheduled time.
