1. How does your product use or challenge convections and how does it represent social groups or issues?
My product uses convections by having a straightforward organization. If you just want to use it to get help on your designs, you can do that. It is neat which and organized, and there will be charts which can be taken out of the magazine with color wheels and the sort for easy reference. My product represents the different types of groups by having multiple genres and sub-genres available making it so that there is something for everyone. There will be informational sections where you may read about the history and stories of the images, and there will be sections where it’s just explaining art concepts and ways to improve your designs. 2. How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text? My product engages with the audiences by giving them an opportunity to discover new books which they could possibly end up reading. Everyone has different art styles and this magazine's goal is to stay as objective as possible, only offering tips and knowledge, not opinions. As a real media text, it would likely be distributed at art supply shops and/or galleries so that as a person goes to check out art museums, or get some new paints, they can grab the magazine there too. If they have a specific artistic issue in mind or are just looking for something to read, they could easily look through the organized table of contents to see if anything sticks out to them. 3. How did your production skills develop throughout this project? Explain research, using different applications, layout and design of your magazine or video. My production skills developed a lot from working on this magazine. I had to study and see how I thought certain things would go together and envision how the final product would look to choose the best. I also learned that with things like this you really have to put the effort in, that you can’t just do the bare minimum and expect a good end result. I also learned how to navigate the software I used and organize everything to fit nicely. That along with the time I put to think about what I could add took a lot of time and I would definitely say my abilities approved. 4. How did you integrate technologies – software, hardware, and online – in this project? I integrated technology into this project by organizing the entire magazine using applications such as word and Canva. I used the internet to research any information I might need and to look at reference magazine layouts, to know what type of design I would want. I was unable to take my own images so I also took great use of the internet finding the images I wanted with only a few keywords. The software I used to actually design everything was obviously a huge part of creating it, and provided many layouts to choose from, and showed me grammatical errors before I even went to proofread.
