Evaluation

In this essay I will be evaluating my strengths and weakness about my task which includes my research skills, journalistic skill, the InDesign, web publishing skills and audience feedback.

Firstly I researched into the music industry about piracy and how it affected the artist, record label and the people who are associated with it. From my experience I found it easy to find facts and statics. There was a lot of articles and the effect of music piracy so it gave me a variety of option. It seemed that most articles were against illegal downloading and most articles had really great gigantic numbers of negatives about illegal music downloading and how badly it affects the economy on the other hand the article that was for the piracy had facts that made it seem like it didn’t affect the artist at all. Overall I could not trust any of the facts as I was not sure if it was true or not. My weakness was finding a suitable website to reliable on for some truthful facts and views.

My strengths of the journalistic piece of writing was that I had a lot of time to think about its layout and from my research I had a lot of valid points, which were very useful. Sites like Wikipedia and others had a lot of background information and interesting facts which helped me set out this piece of writing however the facts and were used are not quite 100% true and I feel that I could still build on my opinions.

The indesign software was similar to programs I have used in the past. The tool bars and what they do were explained to me before I used it which made it okay to use. The negatives are that it did not let me design how I wanted my final product. I think it did not allow me to use ease and freedom. I felt there was a lot of restriction, which held me back from what I wanted to create. One major problem was that I could not highlight my article like in word as I am used to. There was just no option for it.

For me to publish this I had to create a google blogger account and post it there. The blog was great as it makes it accessible to anyone with an internet connection. I even had views from the United States and I don’t even know how. But setting up Google blogger was time consuming but at least it cancel out the risks of losing my work because I will always have a backup copy on the blogger.
