Before and After Editing Photographs

Friday 25th March 2011 - Completion of Production

After several weeks of working on my front page, contents and double page spread article, I have finished my production work. Now that I have done so, I can move on to the evaluation questions. In the evaluation process I will answer the following questions:

1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
2. How does your media product represent particular social groups?
3. What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
4. Who would be the audience for your media product?
5. How did you attract/address your audience?
6. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
7. Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

In addition to these questions I will also be providing evidence of audience feedback, their thoughts and views on my print work...

Double Page Spread 2nd Draft

I found flaws in my double page spread as well. The first draft had way too much text on it which made it look over crowded. The images were too small as well which made it look like the text was making the model feel smaller. The most common double page article convention was also missing: page numbers. 

The second draft (above) is a rectified version of the first draft. I removed a lot of the text so that it would not look overcrowded. I made the images much more bigger as well. I inserted page numbers at the bottom in accordance to the contents page. I redesigned the title as well, to something much more interesting and appealing. I slightly repositioned the text at the top of the page as well.
