Magazine questionnaire and feedback

Feedback

Describe the technical skills you have gained?

With the technical skills I have gained, I can now use photoshop in a more complex way. I am able to use bevels correctly to make pictures and text stand out, invert colours to make them stand out against the background, merge pictures together to make them whole and make the advert become more realistic every time I changed something.

Describe two challenges you have overcome?

Two challenges I have overcome are that I am able to spend longer on my product to make it look nicer where-as before I would just rush into making the product to get it finished and not make it the best I could. I have also been able to look for pictures on the internet instead of taking my own. The pictures I found suit my advert more than if I had taken the pictures because they gave me what I needed most e.g. the dark gothic theme and the tattoos.

Describe two challenges you have overcome?

Two challenges which I have overcome are that I am able to use photoshop in a more complex way, I used inner and outer bevels to make the text and pictures stand out more, I inverted colours on pictures so they would stand out on the bright background and I was able to use a picture of a plain black tshirt and add band logos on to them so the pictures of the tshirts would be the same size. This made them look more in place rather just scattered everywhere.

do you feel that your product is suitable for target audience?

I do feel that my product is suitable for my target audience because I based my product on adverts I had seen in magazines like Kerrang! and Metal Hammer. The girl in my target audience profile looks like the type of girl I would be friends with therefore i believe that this advert would appeal to her because if I saw this advert it would appeal to me. I also gave out my questionnaire to a few of my friends who would also be in my target audience and they all said that this advert would appeal to them.

How has technology (computer, digital camera, printer) helped you turn your design into a real product?

Computer technology has helped me finish my product by letting me access photoshop which has let me blend pictures and text together to make the advert. I have used the Internet to find the perfect text, the right models and right pictures to make my product become real. I have used a personal printer to keep a copy of my advert, but if I wanted a large quantity printed or printed into a magazine I would go to an industrialized printing press.
