7c task 11

My finished product is very similar to my design. I wanted my magazine to stand out and suit my target audience so I new that I had to make it similar to all the fashion magazines out there. my product has turned out how I wanted it to and has followed all my planning that i wanted it to be like so my magazine is similar to my design. Due to technology I have created and developed my fashion magazine successfully. I have used photoshop 3 times before so I felt quite confident using it, and i new that other pieces have turned out really well when using photoshop.  photo shop has also helped with making my design look really professional and real which I love.

I feel strongly that my product is suitable for my target audience I have had a lot of positive feedback from people and they have said that they agree that it suits my target market. I think that the colours that I have used suit my target audience because they are girly and they match my main image which is a teenage girl.
I have experienced a few challenges while working with photo shop but have managed to over come them but working out which tool is which and when to use them i managed to do this by working hard and for a long period of time I also had help from one of my class mates when I really struggled. In my opinion i have learnt many technical skills such as being able to download pictures and making a successful product on photoshop.

I wish to use photoshop in the future because it makes designs into actual products and makes them look very professional and realistic. I also think that with media photoshop is very helpful and makes people aware with how adverts and magazines are made.



7C TASK 10

All my audience feedback were mostly all good comments which I was really happy about they all said that they would buy it in a shop and they all said that is suited my target audience, this means that I have made my magazine correctly for my target audience and that I have given off the right image for my magazine. Im also happy with the results from the feedback because the people that done the questionnaire were in the right age group for the target market so that tells me I have done well with making my magazine. I could make the magazine better by the improvements people said to make by adding pictures of celebrities wearing similar clothes that you can by from local stores. I could also add images of the fashionable clothes that are in local stores like river island and new-look.

18C evaluation


My finished  product compares to my design in a similar way I wanted my bottle to look unusual and fit in well with my summery idea. I originally designed my perfume bottle to be round and have an atomizer but whilst making my perfume advert I didn't think that the perfume bottle went well with my advert so I changed it to a rectangle bottle with a butterfly at the top which I thought went much better with my summer look. 


Due to the technology that I have used I managed to develop and make my perfume advert , I gathered and found different images from google which I thought would make my perfume advert look good so I saved them into my documents. It was my third time using photoshop so i had gotten used to using it i also found it easier to resize , re-arrange and organize the images. I think my finished product has come out really well and im really happy with it. I also think it will suit my target audience really well for young women and teenagers, I think it will definitely catch there eye because it caught mine and after I made the advert i thought I would buy this perfume based on this advert so  think it would of been popular.


 I think the use of colours that I have used will also suit my target audience because they are girly and summery. I asked a number of people what they thought of my perfume advert and I got a lot of positive responses which I am very happy about. I feel like I have overcome a number of challenges while using photoshop as I did struggle with a few things but I did eventually mange to do it by working hard and working for a long period of time on my perfume advert. In my opinion I feel like I have gained a number of skills mainly using photoshop once I worked out which tool was what and how they made my finished piece look good I felt a lot more confident using photoshop now. I would definitely want to use photo shop more often as I think it makes peoples work look very professional and makes people designs turn into a finished product.

7C Analyse audience feedback for tv listings magazine.

The audience feedback that I got back from people was mostly all good and most people said that they would buy this magazine if they saw it in a shop. some people said that if there was anythiny that could be improved on my tv listings magazine it would be to add more information about the soaps , add a coulple more tag lines and maybe anothe image so if i was to improve it i would add the things that people have mentioned. I agree with the improvements that people said in my audience feedback and i think that maybe a couple more images would make the magzine look better becuase i think it looks a bit plain.

18C Analyse audience feedback

People who answered my questionnaire about my perfume advert said that they like pretty much everything about it and that everything fitted together well for e.g. my perfume name and the idea that i set my idea around summer was good and the colors and images that i have chosen to use in my perfume advert all complimented each other. If i had to say anything about my perfume advert i would say that i like the way my advert has come out but if i had to improve anything i would change my writing color from white because some people might struggle to see what it says with the clouds being white behind it.

My advert isn't lying to anyone  e.g the sentence the sweet scent of summer is a tag line it isn't actually implying that it smells like summer.

7B what permission do you need to use photographs in a print product?

To be able to have permission to use photographs in a print product you need to have a model release. This is where you have permission from the individual to use their photo. Model releases are needed if a person could be recognised from the photos printed. It doesnt matter if their faces are visible if they could be recognised in any way a model release needs to be used. Even if permission has been given , if the photo is then to be used again for advertising an additional fee should be paid to the individual.
