Evaluation Part 2

Q2) HOW EFFECTIVE IS THE COMBINATION OF YOUR MAIN PRODUCT AND ANCILLARY TEXT?

Ans2) My ancillary text compliments my main product as my ancillary text which was a poster and a radio advert has things related to my newspaper.
My poster has a picture of both the pages of my newspaper it was made on the Abode Photoshop. Secondly the radio advert I made has a script which was related to my newspaper. It shows that there was a concert in Royal Palm and two friends are talking about it one of them attended the show/concert and one couldn't go so the who did attend the show tell the other one that it was great and she shows a small clip of the concert and the one who couldn't go tells how bad she feels and she missed everything and her friend consoles her by giving her the news that Royal Palm is starting its very own newspaper which will be covering all the events and things happening in Royal Palm. so that is how both my ancillary text combines with my newspaper.

Evaluation Part 4

Q4) HOW DID YOU USE NEW MEDIA TECHNOLOGIES IN THE CONSTRUCTION AND RESEARCH, PLANNING AND EVALUATION STAGES?

Ans4) RESEARCH:  for research I visited a lot of blogs of media studies. I even used ''Google'' for research on broadsheet newspapers.
PLANNING: For planning I used Adobe Photoshop I made layouts on it of both my pages and on Microsoft Word I arranged all my news that I collected so that I know how to rearrange it on the newspaper.
CONSTRUCTION: For the construction of my newspaper I used Adobe Photoshop. In Adobe Photoshop I used pen tool, cropping tool, brushes, etc. While making my newspaper I learned a lot about Photoshop how to treat your pictures and how to construct a proper newspaper on the Photoshop and for my poster I used Adobe Photoshop again but for the construction of my radio advert I used Zulu DJ Software it taught me how to mix the music and the sounds.
EVALUATION: For evaluation I used my blog. I have my own blog known as ''Shehzil's media studies blog'' I used it for the evaluation.
The experience of making a newspaper did teach me a lot about new media technologies. I got to know a lot about newspaper which a normal person might not know. I also got to know about all the tools in the Adobe Photoshop and as it comes to the mixing of music and sounds I got aware of that too since my radio advert required a lot of mixing.

Evaluation part 3

Q3) WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED FROM THE AUDIENCE FEEDBACK?

Ans3) The things that I learned from the audience feedback was this that my entire newspaper does cover every small issue and event. It covers the events happening in royal palm as well as the issues regarding health our food  and one interview from a musician so this newspaper is basically a complete package that would update the members of Royal Palm about everything it would even give them some tips for healthy life style and not just that it will be an entertainment for the members of royal palm as well.
The feedback of the audience was really good my efforts were appreciated.
