Task 4 evaluation

My research into publishings was every useful because it gave me ideas of how and what to put into my actual article also it gave me an idea of how articles are made and written and what sort of content needs to be in them also I got to see how different types of articles are laid out for different target audiences for example of it was targeted for adults then the article would be more well ladies out and sophisticated but if the article was aimed for young teenagers then the article would have more fun and appealing images such as celebrities.so researching  into publishing was very useful and helped me a lot when writing my own article and laying out my article from the text, images and headlines.also for my second article it helped me chose what to write because I did my research on why make up in such a big deal in east London and where it mostly comes from I also did interviews with young teenagers which is my target audience to find out more about what they think about green street so it gave me more of an idea of what to write also then I could use quotes in my article of what people said.

Pitching my ideas to my peers was very useful seeing as my class was mainly teenagers and that was my target audience this made me take in more of their feedback because if they didn't like something then that would mean that it mate not appeal to all young teenagers also teacher feed back helped a lot because my teacher knew what should and shouldn't be in my article so that made me change a few things such as my writing and images. My class mates gave me back negative and positive feed back being that my article was clear and precise but they wanted to see more images because it was targeted to young teenagers and that would of appealed more to them.i had three ideas to chose from and I chose makeup because my target audience overall was young teenagers because I felt more comfortable and makeup is a big thing in young teenagers lives so I would of had more teenagers that are going through a stage with make up.i didn't make any changes to my article only adding in more images.

It was very useful drafting my article because then I could give it to my teacher so she could tell me what needed to be changed and added after I got my teachers feed back it was useful because then in my re draft I could add in all the hits that where good and add in more bits that my teacher told me that I needed to have in it over all it was go drafting my article the re-drafting it. For mode of address I used rhetorical questions so that I can interact more with the readers and leave and then answer their answers that they had in their head into my article "do teens really wear make-up for fun".in my article I made sure that I was interacting with my readers and made sure that my writing was unique and different to all the other makeup articles out there I did this by making sure that the readers knew that I understood what they was going through."we all know how it feels your not alone".

Pre-production helped me aloud through writing my article because of the drawing draft I did which helped me lay out my article precisely also call sheets helped me a lot and everything in pre-production was useful because it guided me through out to make of my article and made sure that I knew what I was doing and made sure that I hadn't forgotten to add something into my article. For example my three ideas was useful because I then wrote somethings I could use in my article and for makeup I had a lot to write about it so I chose makeup to be my main article.also for my second article it helped me chose what to write because I did my research on why make up in such a big deal in east London.over all through your all of my pre-production I made a call sheet which would allow me to write down information about my model and where I will be having to use my model this is a good way of letting your model know what she will have to do on the day also, my make-up list made sure that I and my model was prepared so that she could bring in her colour foundation and just incase she was allergic to anything it would let me know before hand so I could have time to either change the product I used or even change my model completely.my risk assessment was very useful when preparing my self and my model for things that could happen where it would cause injuries this aloud us to be aware of the things to stay away from or to be careful around the aquipitment also if something did happen then I would of already had a clear plan of what to immediately do.templates and formats for my page layout was a very useful way of planning the way I am going to be laying out my article this would then be easier for me when I am actually designing my article because I already had a rough idea of how i was going to layout my article.mock ups using found image and dummy test this is also a good way of making sure I know what kind of images I will need to be taking and the kind of models I need to be using which will fit into my article which is about make up. Also, I can then chose the age of my model which was the same as my target audience this will help my target audience relate more with the article because of the image.i did not have to make a booking sheet for taking out a camera because I used my phone to take the images for my article I found this to be the easier and shortest way of taking my pictures for my article so I could then focus more on the layout and my writing because I could easily send it to my email and then save it onto my computer.

My images where all placed into certain places of my article so that I'm can draw the attention of my target audiences I used an image of "Kenza" who is very well known to the young teenagers In east London this was because more of target audience know about Kenza they are more likely to want to read it, it's like using a celebrity or a well known person on a front cover so people want to read it more and in east London "Kenza" is very well known.

For my main article I used a double page spread which was divided into 3 sections for each page this was so that I could fit my images that went with each piece of writing into the section where my writing was. For my second article I decided to make it into a "Snapchat" news article spread because most of my target audience use snapchat so they where more likely to read it that if it was on a boring one page spread it wouldn't appeal to them also my article was not to long and didn't have as much information  as my double page spread about makeup and Snapchat it a good way of putting some information using images and making it look appealing.

Every time I did a piece of writing I would save it so that it wouldn't get deleted by accident or if something did happen to the computer I wouldn't lose a lot of my work.i checked for copy write and I have dinky 5% I decided to change it so that all my work was seen as my own work.i did not use any hand written notes and kept all my work and pre-production on my computer and I uploaded everything I need to into blogger and I printed out my work one for my teacher to read and comment on it.

Overall making my article was not that easy but good for a first time also my pre-production helped a lot because it guided my through out the making of both of my articles article. My article is has clear understanding of what the meaning of my article is about and is clear that it is to give advice for those who feel the need to wear makeup and also to parents that have this problem with their children also my second article is clear and uses information of where makeup from east London changes and came from.
