Before this task I had no experience using any type of my website creator. I was recommended Wix and decided to use it. It did not take me long to create my website because of how smooth and easy it was to use. At the end of the creation of this ancillary, I felt that I created an easy to navigate website that has character but also looks like my other ancillary task and my main product, magazine.

Last year I used Photoshop for the creation of my products, I found that editing platform extremely difficult to use. So this year I decided to use a platform that I used during my GCSEs because I found it much easier to use. Serif Draw Plus. I am glad I made this decision because it meant that I could create all my products easily but also create further things that added details like a logo. The creation of the logo allowed me to portray synergy across all of my products. I found Serif Draw Plus easy to use, I even created certain graphics like a word mind map for evaluation question three.

I stumbled across Canva when looking for other media platforms to use on my blog. I found Canva a useful way of comparing what I did in AS in comparison to A2, with these comparisons being shown easily, it helped me to plan my evaluation quickly.

A platform to create videos on I used iMovie for an evaluation question. I used this in AS however, put much more time this year into the creation of the video. This year I even included an iconic punk song to overlay the slides of my video. I find it fun creating videos on iMovie because I have little experience using it and I enjoy using it.

Padlet is another media platform I have used, I am using it now as part of my evaluation. It was an attractive platform to use because it can act as blank canvas, allowing to choose where to put any photo or block of text. This is my first time using it and I am finding it very useful and very easy to use.

I used PowerPoint throughout my project, especially in the research and planning stages.

I used it to create my presentations to then upload onto slide share. I also used it for the creation of my plat plans. As well as a way to store all my images when creating my project so that they were in a place that I can see all my photos and access them easily. I also used PowerPoint to plan my evaluation questions. I find PowerPoint very easy to use and have a lot of experience using it. I tried to limit the use of it this year in comparison to the previous AS project.

Emaze is another example of a platform that allows me to create presentations. It has much more customization than Slideshare allowing me to change colour and use greater transition effects. For example, I used the newspaper template when creating my Emaze presentation for potential target audience, I chose this because it was different and added charm to my blog.

I my survey was about magazine conventions, I felt my followers would have a good knowledge of magazines, therefore felt twitter was the perfect platform.

is a social media platform that has gained incredible amounts of popularity in the last couple of years. Due to this, I decided to promote my second survey about punk conventions using Instagram. I thought this was a great idea because I have a good number of punk followers on my personal account who would answer my survey with the knowledge of my genre. This means when using my survey results to create my magazine, I will achieve a more accurate product, recognisable to my target audience.

is a platform where people can upload a PowerPoint presentation to he internet to share with anyone looking for a particular presentation. It is a very common media platform used. I used this throughout my entire project. During the research and planning stage I read a lot of Slideshare presentations, especially to learn about specific media theories. I also used slideshare to upload a lot of that research and planning to my blog. I experimented with Slideshare last year, because I enjoyed using the platform and found it easy to use, wanted to use it this year more to show my planning and research clearly.
