Q6

I used a professional camera to take my photos, this camera made my images look more defined. I used settings such as manual focus, zoom and flash but I wanted to make most of my images all have natural lighting. If I had an opportunity to re take my shoots I would experiment with shutter release and the panoramic settings.
I used blogger to show my development and ideas. I researched on different magazines to find the conventions of a magazine. By doing this I was able to understand how to create a magazine front cover, contents page and a double page spread. This then lead to me creating flat plans for my magazine which helped me construct my magazine.
Blogger also allowed me to get feed back from peers and people that I was aiming my magazine to. This allowed me to develop my magazine to increase its appeal to my audience.
I also used photoshop to edit and create my magazine pages. I used tools such as blemish, text, paint bucket , etc. If I did this project again I would like to familiar myself with other editing sites such as in design which I found out most magazine creators use to create their magazine.

Q4

My target audience is aimed at teenagers and adults aged between 16-30. I believe that this age group is more interested in music which makes them more ideal to sell my product to.
I would be aiming my magazine at both males and females. Both males and females listen to reggae/dancehall. My front cover looks very masculine with my male model and "rusta colours"
I did a class survey on how many people listen to reggae/dancehall and i found 60% of my class listen to reggae/dancehall 45% of them being males and 25% of them females and the other 40% was other genre's.
