Critical Reflection

“How does my product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?” My product uses or challenges conventions by being a little different than a regular magazines you see done by professionals or sold in stores. The conventions of my magazine are based off of different inspirations from famous magazines and combined together. “How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text?” My product engages with audiences by being a worldwide problem many people are dealing with and have been dealing with, but more now because of Covid-19. This can be distributed as real media because of the relation of many people around the world. “How did your production skill develop throughout this project?” I’d say my production skill developed throughout this project by learning how to actually sit and take my time and learn different ways to make it look more like magazines because before it wasn’t too great. I experimented with different fonts, different techniques, and different placements of pictures more this time than any other.  “How did you integrate technologies - software, hardware and online - in this project?” I’d say I integrated technologies by using Canva to experiment with the design and complete the product. Eventually, I uploaded it on Canva where it could be viewed on technology.
