Reflections
Question 1
1.How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?
My magazine can use or challenge conventions by embracing diversity and showcasing culinary heritages and social narratives. My magazine can also represent social groups by promoting cultural respect and awareness through food.
Question 2
2. How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text?
My magazine that I chose to base on cooking and recopies engages with the audience through strategies like visual appeal, collaborations, content variety, and physical distribution. These methods help to grab the reader's attention and keep them engaged with the magazine. My magazine would be distributed in a physical copy and online for all to see.
Question 3
3. How did your production skills develop throughout this project?
My skills with production definitely increased because I learned all types of things like how to create a website and its different sections, layers, and designs, how they make magazines, how hard it actually is, how time consuming it is, the different ways to design a magazine, and how frustrating it is to not get the outcome you desire.
Question 4
4. How did you integrate technologies – software, hardware and online – in this project?
For how I integrated software I used in design and a lot of photo editing to get the pictures how I wanted them. For the hardware I took pictures of cooking magazines for inspiration and looked over them a lot while making my magazine. Lastly for online I searched up a lot of cooking magazine websites and downloaded a few pictures for my recipe inspiration.
