What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product

I have learnt about many different things in the process of making my products. For example, I used lights, when taking my pictures, as I felt that this gave a more professional and studio look to the pictures, I believe this gives a higher end look to the magazine, helping to attract my target audience, of teenagers in the A-C social classes.

I used survey monkey in order to create a questionnaire that I could use to ask what my target audience would like to see in my magazine, using survey monkey meant that it was easier to get people to answer my survey, as I could email them the link to people who I would like to answer it. This meant that I could get results quicker, as I didn’t have to go around and ask questions. It also meant that the people I asked could do the questionnaire in their own time.  However, it did mean that any misunderstandings couldn’t be sorted out straight away, and this may have led to unanswered questions. Also with me being there I couldn’t monitor the questions being answered and may have been answered incorrectly.

I used a more professional camera (Sony nex 5n) when I took my photos. Compared to the point and shoot camera that i used on my preliminary task. This meant that I had better quality images for my magazine; this also helped to give a more professional feel to the look of the magazine.

I used Prezzi to complete a part of my evaluation. This made it is easy to compare my magazine with other magazines, and in a more professional way. This was also less time consuming, as I was able to complete it online.
