Evaluation for 'piracy and the music industry' article

Evaluation for my media article

For this assignment i had to produce a double page spread for a magazine i had to write a 500 word piece of journalism in which i had to cover both sides of the argument, when gathering resources it was fairly easy because before conducting my journalism my class mates and i had to debate whether if piracy is in fact destroying the music industry or making the music industry. I was put onto the disagree side of the argument so when i typed up my journalism so when it came to typing up my coursework i took some of the information i used in my debate in my article also had to reference where i had taken  my information from. when u wrote down my points for the agree side of the argument i had to search into google to find out some facts and to find some quotes, just like with the disagree sides information i had to reference my where i found my statistics, facts and quotes.

In lesson we were taught how to use Indesign and we were taught how to create our double spread sheet and how to produce the page of our magazine we were taught how to make boxes in order for us to write in and to put pictures in. after i created how my page would look  like i had to copy and paste the journalism i typed up into the boxes after this i simply took pictures off of the internet (via google) of artists that featured in my article such as Schoolboy Q, Earl Sweatshirt, Beyonce and Kanye west. i then finished it by filling  my blank page with a purple colour that was spotted on beyonce stage wear. After finalising my work by putting a page number at the end i signed up to Gmail in order to create my blog and once i had done that i created my blog and published my wrk for my assessors to see it.

I think i could have improved in many ways, one way i could have improved would be through word dropping because that way i would have captivated my audience better and quicker which could have resulted in more views and a wider audience, I could have also embedded more quotes from other celebrities  to see real artists point of view of this matter. i also could have gotten rid of the black outlines around columns to make my article look more professional but it was my fist time using In design  so mistakes were inevitable.

To conclude i believe i created a strong piece of journalism because i included pictures that related to the article i also created a fun and colourful piece that i knew would appeal to my audience (ages 15-25) i included the right vocabulary and although it was mainly aimed at females i did consider the male audience by name dropping some male artists. so all in all i believe i stuck to the requirements of my brief and i also completed the tasks set successfully.
