Digital publishing is a lot easier to access with most of it being online. This means that if you have a portable device of some sort you can access news articles websites and many other forms of digital publishing. Digital publishing products are also easier to edit and distribute to the world. When it comes to publishing products such as news digital versions are updated more frequently than traditional ones like newspapers.

With technology being a big part of the world now digital publishing is able to gather a wider audience with all the people who use phones, IPads, computers and other forms of technology. Portability also makes it more convenient for people to find different types of digital publishing such as news articles, websites, advertisements and more.

Traditional techniques is a much slower process then digital publishing. This makes it more of a drawn out process to go through that can be very boring and tiring. Many of these traditional methods involved some sort of device or equipment to make the publishing products. With digital publishing products like covers or advertisements only need a piece of software that can be found on the desktops of computers.  

Digital publishing can go across many different platforms and devices now due to conversion. This also helps with the convenience and accesses of digital publishing now that phones are able to do a lot more and we have technology such as IPad and other interactive media. With the wider audience that digital publishing generates it is able to noticed more and increase in consumers.

Aquatint is a traditional printmaking method of making drawing that has to be repeated many times to make the final image. This can be a long process to get an image of something like an animal. Now we have desktop apps that can be used to make an image in a much shorter time period. Said images even end up on magazine covers to attract an audience and even online.

The portability of smart phones, laptops and other devices makes it more convenient for people to find and create digital published products such as images, websites and much more. Portable devices also make it easier to generate a wide audience for the different types of digitally published products.

Some of these products are used to be informative such as the leaflet of the restaurant that is used to make it easier for people to know what is served at that restaurant so that if they decided to go there they would have an idea on what they would want. This also helps people find out if there are any certain dishes that they were looking for or would want to try. E-newspapers are also informative with the range of news articles they have of the many different events around the world. The travel flyer is also informative with the list of events/activities that are available to the customers and the price listed on the flyer.

There are also products that are mainly used for entertainment such as the Facebook example for interactive media. This example gives consumers the ability to view posts, comment, like and more. E-books are also a source of entertainment with the countless books that people can read making them a very useful tool for learning as well. Certain magazines can have a sense of pleasure/entertainment as well as being informative. Most entertaining published products are generally used for leisure/relaxing.

Informative published products give slight information on topics while educational products will go into detail and could have many different sections for a topic. While being used for entertainment and E-book can also be used for educational purposes to help people who are studying in school, college or even those who want to learn more after that.
  

While there is some informative information on posters. The main aim of them is to promote/market products or services. The assassins creed movie poster is informative with listing some of the characters and a date of when the movie will be released. However some of the names of the actors could also attract attention to the movie bringing in more customers. The image is the main focus for marketing. This is the same with the star wars poster except it has no image and actor names it only has text.

There can be more than one purpose for certain products alongside the main purpose. This is what help people in their everyday lives or even help companies expand.

The purpose of the restaurant leaflet is to inform people about some of the dishes they serve and also persuade them to come to the restaurant to increase the amount of customers they have. The travel flyer does the same with the type of writing it has being used to persuade and also be a bit informative.

The bold writing on the e-magazine example is used to catch the viewer’s attention and make them think straight away with what its context. This encourages readers to continue through the e-magazine to see what it has to say.

Reggae Website Evaluation

                             Reggae Website Evaluation 
My website has behaviours such as a moving background and a song that have been set to automatically play on opening of the website and will repeat itself. The song can also be stopped or have the volume turned down if the viewer does not want to listen to it. I have also created a folder that holds all the posters that are shown on the website and the banner that i created. There are also a couple of youtube reggae compilation videos that have been embedded on to the website through their codes.

The website has been made available to view on both google chrome and safari. The primary image of my banner and poster are PNG files like the rest of the secondary posters that are on my website and have the names of who made them. All the secondary images of the reggae artists are all JPEG files and are interactive so viewers can see the images better and the names of the artists. The website has a simple navigation bar that takes views to all the different pages of the website.

I have also added a contact page with a contact form that viewers can use to send feedback on the posters and the website. A blogger icon with a link to my blog has been added as well.

I have used tools such as the app market to find templates of contact forms in order to create my own. I have also used tools that have allowed me to embed videos and images. the background is a moving image from wix that was found in the background tab. 

Besides the the world reggae being on the website i am sure the audience will notice the website is about reggae by the posters and the music playing on the website. the colours and background can also give the audience that warm and relaxed feeling that reggae gives.

My vision for this is to also create awareness for reggae music like the brief requests. I feel like creating a website the holds many creative posters that are inspired by reggae music is a great way to attract an audience and have others get involved and show there impressions on reggae music.  

Other elements such as the embedded songs is used to give viewers the opportunity to listen to reggae music to see if they like it or encourage them to bring reggae into their lives. This is really useful for people who haven't heard reggae music before.

From the screenshots i have taken the folders i created were to help keep images and everyone's posters organised making importing them onto the website a more simpler task.

I decided to structure my galley page by having a few pictures of different reggae artists that interactive to show their names, Then i put some posters down underneath that were inspired by these artists and to show that reggae is more than just music.

All tabs on that i have listed on navigation bar are necessary tabs that are important for my website and all have a role to play. I made sure that all content on each page has been aligned and kept within the grid that was provided by wix when working on the website.

I have previewed my website multiple times while editing it to make sure that i would run smoothly once it had been published. Regularly checking my website helped me make sure that all the images were in place, the moving background worked and the embedded songs without any problems.

Reggae Poster Evaluation

For my poster I had listened to feedback and changed the colours to look more like a reggae poster and easier for people to identify at first glance. I have also put in the dancers to go with the slogan since dancing takes rhythm and coordination. The colours of the dancers could have been changed though. The slogan is in white to make it stand out and has a drop shadow to make it more appealing to people.

The lion has been altered with its colour and has had a drop shadow added to make it look different room the original picture and to add some of my own work to the poster. I have used tools such as text boxes and transformations. The choice of colours were chosen by messing around with hex codes.

Both of the images have been transformed. The lion was transformed to fit the poster to scale and the dancers where transformed to fit the lion a fill in the empty space at the back. The poster has been saved as a JPEG separately from the Photoshop file and has been uploaded on to my blogger. With the poster being a JPEG this means it has a lossy compression.

Above is a more briefly annotated version of the JPEG made on thinglink. This version shows where I have applied the different tools and effects I have used.

The warm colours on the poster are give poster that reggae feel. The slogan feel the rhythm is used for the audience to know that this poster is related to music. The dancers are also used to match the slogan to show the audience that the poster is about reggae music.

However i feel like the poster would be better if i focused on a certain style of reggae or should have list a few of the different reggae styles to make it easier for the audience to understand what the poster is about.

As it shows on the annotated poster i have used the gradient tool to put a range of different colours to make up the background while giving it that warm you would feel when listening to reggae music.

I wanted to create a colourful and eye catching poster that strayed away from having Bob Marley as the main element. I also used the drop shadow effect on the slogan i wrote to make sure that people look at the poster as a whole and not only focus on the bright colours.

The way i made the poster the number one thing that people would be attracted to first is the lion. from that there next focus may be the colours and finally the slogan. i fit the lion to scale making it big enough without having it go off the page. the same thing was done for the dancers inside the lion. 

The original image of the lion had a white ear and eye due to its background i felt like this would not go well with how i wanted my poster to look. I decided to erase the eye, ear and any white space around the lion that i could not make transparent.
