Development diary
This development diary documents the student's progress over two weeks of their final major project. In the first week, the student conducted research on potential role models like Caitlin Moran and the magazine Fem. They realized they needed to do more research to fully understand what inspires these figures. They also began drafting their project proposal but recognized the need to improve their rationale. In the second week, the student focused on feminist theories and analyzed an existing feminist fanzine called "Debate" as inspiration. They planned to also research a professional magazine for comparison. By the end of the week, they aimed to complete their research and begin idea generation for their own project.
Fmp proposal
Hannah McNeill proposes creating a magazine about mental wellbeing and feminism for her final media studies project. The magazine will include articles on these topics as well as others related to "life" and will feature Hannah's original photography to accompany the articles. Hannah plans to conduct research on influencers in journalism, feminism, photography, mental health, and graphic design to inform her work. She will evaluate her project through a presentation detailing the process and end product, and through a weekly production diary reflecting on her progress.
7. Evaluation
Hannah evaluated her research and planning process for her magazine production project. She identified some strengths, such as thorough initial plans that guided her final product. However, she also noted weaknesses in her research questionnaire and lack of additional existing product research at the start. For planning, her style sheets and contingency planning were strengths, but flat plans did not match her final layouts. Overall, Hannah felt her planning helped guide her successful production, though some aspects like experiments could have been improved with more time.
7. Evaluation
Hannah evaluated the strengths and weaknesses of her research process for developing a lifestyle magazine. She analyzed existing magazines to influence her design but found her research could have been improved by examining magazines more similar to her concept. A questionnaire received negative responses that did not reflect her target audience. Profiles of comparable magazines helped define her audience and pricing. Interviews provided useful feedback incorporated into her product. Overall, her initial plans and proposal successfully guided her process, but her research design, namely the questionnaire, could have been improved with a more tailored audience.

Research
The document discusses plans for a fanzine focused on the TV show Friends. It will have an A5 page size and target a female audience aged 25-44, as research found these demographics have the most positive views of Friends. Articles will focus on characters like Chandler and Joey who are most popular, and less on Monica and Ross who are least liked. Ideas include character profiles, fashion inspiration from Monica and Rachel, and iconic Friends elements to reference symbolically. Photography may be difficult due to copyright, so articles and edits will primarily be created in Photoshop. The fanzine will have no strict page order to maintain an authentic DIY style.
Evaluation fanzine
The document discusses how the author's research influenced their fanzine project. They began by researching other fanzines to get ideas but found few related to their topic of Friends. They analyzed 3 fanzines and discovered setting their fanzine apart by having a "dead-end" topic about a finished TV show. Their front cover was influenced by one fanzine's use of a hazy, retro effect and subtle title placement. Through the project, the author improved skills like Photoshop, interviewing, and printing fanzines, which will benefit future work.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying Them
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

Production diaries 2
- 1. Hannah McNeill Production Diaries Week 1 28/01/20 For my first week of my Final Major Project I created a short plan containing a bullet point list of what I needed to successfully complete in the first week; I needed to complete my proposal and pre-proposal, my aim was also to conduct research on at least 4 influencers that I can use as context and background knowledge related to my project, to give me a wider understanding of the topics I am including. I spent my first day of my Final Major Project by creating my pre-proposal. The first proposal I began writing was just a draft proposal and a way for me to first properly engage with the project, allowing me to put together my ideas and discover where I wanted to go with my project. Writing and planning my pre-proposal brought me a lot of clarity because it gave me the opportunity to see my ideas and to understand why I wanted to create my project and why it was important to me. I began by briefly explaining my idea in less than 20 words to get a clear idea of what I wanted to do. Then I explained why I decided to make it and what made the project important to me. There are multiple different reasons why this project is important to me and by writing them down and seeing them on paper it gave me the ability to really understand why I wanted to create a feminism/mental wellbeing fanzine. I spent an hour completing my pre-proposal explaining the small details and the thought process it took me to get to my final idea. I included a range of different details because I knew that even if it was a first draft it was still important because I would use this through my project to shape my final product. Through my project some of my potential ideas might change and therefore in my evaluation I will be able to look back and compare my first ideas with my final project and be able to explain why I changed my mind. 29/01/20 My second day of pre-production was spent researching different influencers to use as my context/background research. I decided to use my time most efficiently I needed to plan what influencers I was going to research and how it would help me further on in my project. I looked at my idea for my end product and after evaluating what skills/topics I needed to learn about I chose four different influencers. For my research, I planned on including more influencers but I thought I would start with four. The first person I researched was a photographer whose work is very established and a personal favourite of mine. I have always loved her work and found her photographs emotive and moving. Photographer Annie Leibovitz. I thought it would be extremely useful to research a photographer for my project because a massive part of the fanzine will feature photography and in order to create effective photos and conduct efficient photoshoots I need to learn about photography. I research Leibovitz in detail finding information about her past personal life and also her career. The information I found was very insightful and has already inspired me with different ways I can conduct my own photoshoots in the production stages. During researching Leibovitz I made sure that I created a bibliography of all the websites I used, using Neil’s Toolbox. This means that if I need to quote my research or I need to find the website I found information from I can go to the bibliography, saving time.
- 2. I then decided that for my second influencer I needed to widen my knowledge on mental health awareness in the media. So, I researched mental health celebrity ambassadors and discovered the charity Mind. I had already heard of the charity and was aware of the work that it does, however I didn’t know that it had multiple celebrity ambassadors, such as George Ezra and Duke McKenzie. I then further researched the charity and the two celebrities. Successfully furthering my knowledge on mental health which is integral to my project because I want to include different articles/photoshoots about mental wellbeing. I also kept a full bibliography addressing all the sources I used throughout the research. 30/01/20 After having researched two main influencers for my project I decided to take a break from background research and started conducting marketing research. I began by looking online at the Issuu.com publishing website where I can find thousands of different magazines/fanzines all with different topics. So, I visited the website and search ‘mental health fanzines’. I searched this because it is associated with the style that I want to create my fanzine around. I found a fanzine created by the Art’s Student Union about mental wellbeing, I flicked through the fanzine and saw that it contained an array of different and interesting drawings and articles so decided it would be useful for me to analyse. I then planned different qualities of the fanzine that I would analyse in order to find out as much as possible about the magazine. I chose to analyse the; colour scheme, main focus, headline, typography, image, target audience, layout. After I had analyzed the fanzine in detail I moved onto analyzing another fanzine. This time I decided to analyze a photography fanzine/magazine. On the Issuu website I discovered a portfolio/fanzine from a photographer called Imdad Barbhuyan containing a range of beautiful photography. After looking through her portfolio I decided to analyze her work because I really admired her photography and thought they I could learn from her photography skills. I analyzed the photos and then spoke about the colour scheme she applies to her photos. 31/01/20 For the final day of my first pre-production week I finished off my background/influencers work. I analyzed a feminist and actress ‘Jameela Jamil’. I researched Jameela because she is known for her hosting and radio work but is also famous for being a feminist and activist. I personally find her very inspirational and think she as a character is very interesting. I researched her through different websites and articles and I also discovered a book called ‘All feminists wear pink … and other lies’ where she has a short article published which was extremely interesting to read and useful for my research. After I had completed my research for Jameela Jamil I started researching a journalist/activist called Gloria Steinem. I researched her and her journalism career and then also researched her feminism/activism career in detail in this helped me because researching and writing about her work inspired me and gave me a wider knowledge about people’s different experiences and perspectives of feminism.
