Evaluation Question 6

During this module I have learned a great deal about the use of new media technology in the production of a print task.

In the research portion I used:

Used to research within the genre - looked at metal videos etc.

To look at bands and their representation and 'style' through pictures, blog posts etc.

(Blogger) to blog about my project and record its progress.

I used these alongside many other sites - such as magazine sites (Kerrang! and Metal Hammer for the most part), institutional sites (E.g. Bauer's website) and many other to research the genre.

In the production stage I made use of new media technology such as a Nikon D60 camera.


After the photoshoots I used Photoshop to edit my material, and to add text while evaluating.

Also during production, I used Facebook to aid my getting feedback about my project.

This helped a lot in fitting my product to the genre's conventions and target audience's needs.
