Evaluation: Illegal downloading
In my
research I found highlighting facts and figures in the information sheet and breaking
down the information by annotation along the side was my strength. Also
searching on the internet for more facts and quotes by celebrities to help me
write my article because I didn’t struggle while doing this task also, I worked
independently while trying to find out useful information which was all related
to my topic “illegal downloading”. However, I found trying to decide what is
most important and least important as my weakness because I thought that the
facts I found out about was all very strong point but I didn’t want my article
to drag on so I had to not include some of my research. Another weakness was
finding statistics to back up the facts giving it was really hard to find this
so I didn’t have many to show in my article.
The
strengths in my journalistic and writing skills were my punctuation and
grammar. Also my facts and statistics were orderly placed on each page. But
when asking some of my peers for any adjustments / improvement they said I need
to make the second page paragraphs into a more neat and tidy Colum so it would
have the effect of an article and not an essay.
The skills I
have learnt in InDesign were making your paragraphs/text into columns. Even
though I didn’t use this skill I learnt how to make a picture be your
background for the layout of the article and have the text be seen on top of
it. My weakness was finding space to place my picture without them being tiny
because I had some much text but instead I used pages to create my article.
I have not
yet been able to publish my blog as the network does not allow me to.
When asking
my peers (Monique & Eron) how I could make my article better they said, the
layout of the magazine on the second page doesn’t match the standards of the
first page. They said I could do this by editing the columns on the second page
and the placing the pictures in different parts of the page.
My set
targets for improvement are:
·
Add
colour so it attracts the target audience’s eyes.
·
I
think if I was to have the chance to make this better I would take away the
picture of the skull with the headphones on because I think it doesn’t looking
appealing there which may of gave me more space.
·
Make
the title in a different style type of writing.
·
Adding
more statistics by looking at more of a range of websites on the internet.
