Welcome back! My name is Felixia Francis & I’ll be answering my final compulsory question, question four. This is for my AICE Media studies Cambridge AS level course. 

 

Compulsory Question 4 asks “How did you integrate technologies – software, hardware and online – in this project?” 



During the process of creating the magazine I relied on technology, I used a combination of hardware & online websites to do everything from blogging to designing the magazine and editing my photos. Technology was essentially used throughout. 



When it comes to hardware, I used my laptop and iPhone. Both were very important for taking pictures, editing them and updating my blog weekly. I used my iPhone to take the images I needed & the Picsart app was implemented for filter effects. My computer was used for editing the magazine on Canva. 



As far as online goes, I mostly relied on Canva and Blogspot throughout my magazine. Canva is an online graphic tool that has multiple designs, formats & editing. I used it to design and create my Magazine. Also, Blogspot is a blogging website that I used to post weekly blogs & it is where I recorded my magazine process as well as the compulsory questions.

Evaluation CCR1 video link: https://youtu.be/Pi_skDjaP0s Hello, my name is Felixia Francis. Today I will be answering compulsory question one. This is for my AICE Media studies Cambridge AS level course.  Compulsory question 1 asks 'How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issue?' My magazine follows the basic conventional Rules and Guidelines of a standard magazine, amongst other things it includes a masthead, a tagline, a coverline, a cover image, a barcode, an issue number and date. In order to gain inspiration for my magazine, I followed the example of various fashion magazines that inspired me such as Vogue, Teen Vogue & Essence.       For the cover page conventions, the first thing you notice is the masthead, the masthead is the title of the magazine & it is also in the biggest font with the sole purpose of standing out. My Masthead is Girly Co. which is not only in the biggest font of the entire magazine, but i
