Creative Critical Reflection #4

How did you integrate technologies- Software, hardware, and online- in this project? During my project I used many types of software online such as Canva and Microsoft Publisher. I used Canva for the design of the magazine to create a real and formal looking magazine that is comparable to an actual company magazine. Canva had the design options that best suited my visions for the magazine. I used Microsoft Publisher as a software to transfer my designs over for formatting. I would save my designs from canva and transfer them to Publisher and then finally transfer it to blogger.

3. How did your production skills develop throughout this project?
My production skills developed in many ways. One of the ways it developed was through out the process of creating and researching magazines I developed an understanding on how to create an eye catching design and how to format text to make it easy to read and understand. I also found an understanding of the types of pictures that need to be included. You can't have too many pictures of similar objects you have to include a variety to keep the audience focused.

Creative Critical Reflection #2

2. How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as Real media text?
Our Product magazine Florida Angler engages with an angler audience by providing stories and knowledge on fishing stories and ways of the trade. Our product would be distributed digitally through our websites where you can order subscriptions, and we would also have hard copies in tackles stores and other fishing related stores.

Creative Critical Reflection #1

1. How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues? Our magazine doesn't really challenge any social issues but our magazine does represent the angler community as a social group. We also tried to incorporate ideas to also include the non angler social group ass well so we could have a well rounded magazine everyone could enjoy. Our magazine also doesn't challenge ordinary magazine conventions. Our magazine runs petty close to what regular magazines look like, we did that to give our audience the authentic feel of a true magazine.
