Evaluation of research section
Overall the research section has been quite challenging and time consuming, though i do believe that i got the work in on time and at a good standard. the analysis of the magazine front covers,contents pages, and double page spreads was the hardest of all the tasks, as there was a lot to do and i had to be critical about certain aspects of the extracts. We did analysis of front covers and contents pages in the preliminary task, but not as many as i had to do in this part.
The other content a had to produce like the flat plan and research into media institutions was easier but i would say more boring then the analysis. But i think that they went well and i got them out of the way. The questionnaire was fun to create and my friends liked filling it out, the added bits of fun made its more interesting.
Finding my user profile and audience was fun as we got to use the product 'find your tribe'. this part of the research task was more creative as i made a mood board of The tribe 'mosher' and look up artists in the genre that 'moshers' like.
If i was to do this part of my project again i would of put more focus into the analysis of the magazine extracts and the uses and gratifications theory. I think the main problem was the amount of time, as i rushed at the end to Finnish in time to meet the deadline, i may have lost some of my detail.
