Research
Researching was quite easy, some of my strengths in research are:
- I always check several websites for the same information to ensure it is accurate (not fake)
- It’s easy for me to find any information I want
Some of my weaknesses are:
- I find it difficult to choose the most interesting/relevant information for my articles
- I didn’t do enough research, if I did I would be able to find more details, opinions of celebrities.
I could have research thoroughly to find more images but instead I used what I found in Google images when I typed ‘file sharing’.
Unfortunately I didn’t look at other magazine examples to get an idea of how I want mine but In the future I will.
Writing skills
Journalistic and writing skills require creativity, I found it interesting and a little complicated.
strengths in journalistic and writing skills:
- I think I have good writing skills because I have included facts, rhetorical questions , etc.
- from my point of view I think my writing is quite professional because I used different fonts (mostly bold) in order to attract the reader’s attention.
Also I wrote it in a way would interest people, thinking of what the readers would want to know.
- Good spelling, grammar.
Weaknesses in journalistic and writing skills:
- I could have made it slightly more interesting considering that readers not only like to find out facts but they also like reading an article where all their questions can be answered about the topic.
- My article is quite long and the second part of it is split into long paragraphs, this could bore the reader. Next time I will include more details about the topic.
InDesign
I found InDesign confusing at first because in school I was used to different software’s for editing.
Strengths and skills:
- I have learnt how to insert files and how to use the tools of InDesign.
- I got used to quickly without struggling much.
Weaknesses of using InDesign:
- at first I didn’t even know how to do simple things such as insert images because instead of ‘insert’ the tab I had to press was ‘place’
- I took longer producing my magazine article because the fonts kept automatically changing.
Web publishing
Strengths:  - uploading a blog is cheaper than selling magazines
- global audience, anyone can view it.
- The website can be advertised for audience for view for free instead of selling magazines across the world
weaknesses:
- some people may not have access to the internet
- an original magazine is known as pieces of glossy paper not just an online article, because of this people may not take online articles seriously.
- People wouldn’t be able to just search keywords in Google, for blogger the exact website address is required.
