So… I’m ready to make some media!

I have had lessons with experts on; indesign, photoshop, and the camera in general. This has helped me tremendously in developing my skills and adding to them. It has also widen my ideas and added to them.

There are 4 uses and gratification and they come from Blumler & Katz;

• Entertainment,
• Social Interaction,
• Personal Identity,
• Information.

Above are factors that I will need to choose from when creating my magazine, also they help me decide on the necessary information.

When creating my product I will consider a number of factors in order to be successful. Especially;

• camera,
• MES,
• layout,
• typography,
• AIDA.

Understanding my target audience is important, as this impacts my magazine, since I need to keep in mind – colours, fonts, and genre as it is what is appealing to them.

Making the name stand out is a key factor.

Also, I need to watch the spacing on the page and amount of writing because it can attract audience more depending on colour and how much writing, as well as ensuring I only put the vital information needed to the audience.
