Evaluation
My media production evaluation included me, Mimi, Amelia and Georgia. Working in a group of people meant we could share each other’s ideas and split the work so we could get more work done in a shorter period of time. The strengths that i found were that working independently helped me concentrate more and i managed to get on with the work, but working as a group we didn't communicate much so we couldn't help improve on the magazine we were making as we weren't sharing each others ideas and mixing it all together.
The advantages for the product are we were all hard workers, we tried our best to finish the work off as soon as possible, also we got together outside of school to take photos for our magazine which shows we were dedicated to the work, we also respected everyones idea’s for the magazine and tried adding in something that each person came up with.
The disadvantages of working on your own are that the work that has been split wouldn’t be the same, so the product wouldn’t be as good as what it would be by working on it as a group, when we put the project together everything was different to what we originally planned the text and colours were different and made it look messy, so if we had worked as a group a bit more, then maybe the project would of looked more like we planned . Another disadvantage for working individually is that there was a lack of communication, which led to some of the group finishing the work and others being behind because they work at a slower pace or just not knowing what work there is to do at all. When we first started the project we lacked in communication so we didn't talk about people strengths and weaknesses so we just did whatever. My weaknesses are that i never asked a member of the group for help, or asked them what i needed to do i just did what i thought was right, so next time i need to make sure i ask if i'm stuck, so i could get the work correct.
The product I created was the problem page, which is a page where people, usually teenagers ask questions on relationship/friendship problems and i answered their questions by giving them the best advice to solve or at least help them with their problems. I looked up different problem pages on the internet and in different magazines to get a idea on the different questions that are asked so i could make something similar to it. I found answering the questions quite difficult but designing the page was If i could create this product again i would make sure i add more questions so it attracts the audience more because it may relate to them, also i would've added more photos to the products and brighter colours you make it look more exciting. marquee tool
The techniques that were used throughout making this product were tools like the cropping tool, if i need a certain part of a photo i would select the crop tool and highlight the part i want. The other different tools that have been used for this project are the marquee tool, then layer via cut which let me split a image in half, making it look like someone has torn it apart. To get certain fonts i went on to a website called dafont which gave you a load of different genres of fonts which after you had chosen you would download them on to photoshop, which will then automatically come up each time you search for it, the reason why i went for different fonts was because i wanted to make it look more eye catching and interesting for the readers.
In conclusion i think we worked well as a group, we just need to work on communication skills.
