Research- Research was the main body of this task as it allowed me to gain a clear understanding of how i should design my magazine. As i researched into more depth , i gathered a clear idea of the layout and what colour schemes would look sophisticated. I struggled with finding extra information to include in the magazine. I really struggled with finding quotes from celebrities displaying their views on music piracy.

Journalistic&Writing Skills- Due to me taking English combined as an A-level, I found this section quite simple to do. During this task, my strength was writing the journalistic piece whereas I found it hard to structure the piece as I wanted it to sound sophisticated.

The Indesign Skills-Indesign was quite a challenging piece of software to control but I soon got my head around it. It was pretty simple inserting images and text boxes but when it came to filling the backgrounds and changing the colours, I was unable to, so i stuck to dark and light grey tones but this had a perk as it made my DPS look rather sophisticated.

Web Publishing Skills- I had no luck in this area of work as I have no idea how to work blogger so I haven't uploaded a great deal of work to the site yet. I am finding blogger very challenging as I have never used a site like or similar to this and have had no guidance with it.

4 Targets I Have Set Myself:

• Do extra research before hand so it's easier in the long run to piece together my work and analysis
• Use Indesign regularly so I can get the jist of how to control it so I wont struggle in future and I wont waste time trying to find what buttons to press
• Use blogger more regular so I am able to blog more work and recieve extra feedback
• To research extra sources to back up my claims and make my reasons for why i have written what i have stronger
