I have learnt the different techniques that technologies use to help construct a product in the order which I want, technologies such as internet, which allows me to get better understanding of the requirements of a media product, so I could achieve the same requirements in my own way making my media product reach established music magazines potentials. Also technology such as different software’s such as Photoshop, allow me to make my own design with what I would like to do to my media product. Technologies from my front cover, contents page and double page spread have been learnt that different types of software’s could be used in any advantage but the right software would help you produce and construct the product you like in the way you want it to be constructed

I have learnt from my preliminary task that the different aspects of how a media product is completed with the different use of research to give myself a better understanding of the different ways to how to produce my media product to my full potential. The preliminary tasks allowed me to get a good use of different software’s which gave me time to explore different techniques and find what is best for my full media product. My media products front page, double page spread and contents page all allow me to gain more knowledge and understanding on how magazines are made and the different thoughts that are given so that it attracts the target audience but also gives people the chance to read what they enjoy.
