To answer this question, I created an infographic using the website Piktochart.

CCR4 – SO HOW DID YOU INTEGRATE TECHNOLOGIES (ONLINE, HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE) INTO THIS PROJECT?
Component 1
CCR3 – HOW DID YOUR PRODUCTTION SKILLS DEVELOP THROUGHOUT THIS PROJECT?
This is my response to the Creative Critical Reflection 3. I wrote a draft of the script first and then I created a slideshow as well to illustrate my response. I then combined the two to create a slideshare for future A level students in helping them to choose their subjects.
CCR2 – HOW DOES YOUR PRODUCT ENGAGE WITH AUDIENCES AND HOW WOULD IT BE DISTRIBUTED AS A REAL MEDIA TEXT?
This is my response to Creative Critical Reflection 2 in the form of a Screencastify.
CCR1 – HOW DOES YOUR PRODUCT USE OR CHALLENGE CONVENTIONS AND HOW DOES IT REPRESENT SOCIAL GROUPS OR ISSUES?
This is my response to Creative Critical Reflection 1. I presented it using an online presentation software called Emaze.

Chosen advert
Even though I won’t be marked on it, I decided to select some adverts to go in my magazine as I recognised that they are a conventional feature of a magazine. I have chosen this advert for my magazine because Frank Sinatra is heavily associated with the jazz genre and the readers of my magazine are at an age and have interests which will allow them to recognise him. I also believe that my target audience are of an age and demographic that they will drink whiskey and own lots of whiskey and by combining the two I can attract their audience and potentially attract them enough to buy some of the whiskey upon reading my magazine.
I chose this tour poster as another advert to be featured in my magazine because it promotes a jazz festival. This poster is very relevant to my magazine as it is for a jazz festival and this will succeed in attracting my audience and making sales for the company running the festival. I also chose it because I feel like the poster fits the cartoon jazz aesthetic which will appeal to the jazz enthusiasts who will be reading the magazine.
