Interviews

To collect my research, I gathered the names of the teachers that had agreed to be interviewed, went out to interview the teachers. I only interviewed 1 teacher, I would have liked to interview more people but we couldn't find them. We interviewed only Mrs. O'Neill, but we got enough information.

unit 18c task 8

Technical skills I have gained are; being able to use Photoshop more comfortably and being able to locate necessary buttons. I have also gained the knowledge of putting my posts onto my scribd account before I put it on my original blog. Some of the buttons I have learned to use, for example, are buttons like the magic wand. What the magic wand does is edits and cuts around any image at any point and once you press enter the image is cropped.

Challenges I have had to over come are that of trying to use Photoshop fluently as I have trouble knowing what all the buttons do and the location of the buttons. Another problem I have had to overcome is that my digital camera wasn't working and I had to take it to a shop and fix it completely. After i had done this I had no other major issues and my final advert came out very well.

unit 18c task 6


I feel that my product is suitable for my target audience because it is a shoe that my audience would love to wear, as it is comfortable and easy to put on. Another reason that I think this is suitable is because the main shoe image is very clear and exactly what I wanted it to look like. Also, it is attractive to all audiences which would make them want to buy the shoe.

unit 18c task 5


Technology and programs such as Photoshop have helped me dearly because if I didn’t have access to it I would not have been able to tweak the advert how I had wanted. Technology such as my own digital camera also really helped me, as it was because of the camera that I was able to take the picture and bring it into school and upload it on to Photoshop originally.

unit 18c task 4


My final advert design is quite similar to my original block design but I had to change it as I didn’t think it would look ideal to what I had wanted it to be and I also felt the reader wouldn’t find it very attractive so I decided to make slight changes, so I changed the layout slightly so that the text was in the bottom right corner which was different to my block design but I feel was much more suited where I moved it to and it came to be exactly what I had wanted. 

unit 18c task 1- CAP codes

I think that my adverts fits in with the CAP codes because the ASA make sure that there are not any abusive posts as they proactively monitor misleading and harmful advertisements, which is why I believe my advert follows their strict guidelines as my magazine hasn't got any misleading or harmful or abusive language in it.
