The student learned a great deal in producing their media product. Their early trial product lacked skills and did not look like a viable commercial product. Through research, their knowledge of appearance, layout, style, audience, and avoiding putting off social groups grew extensively. They also learned when a product becomes too crowded and distracting. The student's technology skills, like using InDesign, improved the most over the course of the project going from unsure usage to confident creation of a satisfactory final product.

1. Evaluation- 7

2. • During the production of my media product, I
have learnt a lot. Looking back at my
preliminary task, it is clear that my skills were
severely lacking. My trial product didn’t look
like a product you would find on the market,
let alone want to buy and read. Through my
research into this market, I widened my
knowledge on how a media product should
appear.

3. • My knowledge into things such as appearance,
layout, house style and interaction has grown
extensively, so I now know what styles suit,
attract and reflect which audiences. My
progression has taught me what certain social
groups look for in a magazine, and how to
avoid putting them off buying the product.

4. • I have learnt during the process when enough
is enough. I know now when a product is
becoming too crowded and is distracting from
the main feature.

5. • Finally, the one skill I think has most improved
in the time spent on this project is my use of
technology. While back in the prelim task I
was very unsure of many elements of the
technology I was using, By the time I created
my final product I was comfortable with the
use of software such as Indesign. This comfort
meant that I had the ability to confidently
create a product that I was fully satisfied with.
