The point of media studies is to learn how to interpret knowledge and disperse knowledge to a wider audience with as much accuracy as possible. By studying a level media you can learn more skills and use your qualifications to move onto future courses and a career

My thoughts and ideas behind my magazine front cover

My ideology behind the design of the cover was to make it as educational and informative as possible. It is a subject I have very strong knowledge involving the topic. I also consider the game a hobby of mine as I pursue dreams of a possible esports appearance in coming years, considering I have the talent and ability meaning I am educated enough with all the changes and improvements to the game. There are still areas to improve on which I can talk about so I can make the review balanced and fair.  My brief reviews will accurate coming from a racer with experience. If i was to make a series on the topic in future there would be many topics to talk about meaning there would be no issues expanding. For example, changes to career mode with cutscenes and drama with the newly introduced Formula 2, as well as the development tree to upgrade your car and make it faster. In addition, you could talk about the game physics including the handling model, and the changes in downforce and grip from previous games. Furthermore, creating your own car setup to change the suspension, angle of attack for the wings, transmission, tyre pressure, brake bias and brake bias is another topic to talk about. Another copy of the magazine could be about what each option in the setup menu does and how to adapt to the car. The magazine could also turn into a tip guide to beginners on how to improve their actual ability.

If I was to improve on this task in the future, or change anything, my main priority would be making the presentation more flashy and eye catching with more designs and colour to attract the reader however designing is a weak point so I need to improve. I would also like to change the written layout, instead of it being in column so it is more interesting to the reader. The lack of colour is another problem I can fix. If I did the project on paper it may of been more intriguing to the reader as the finished product would be less bland and would have more design. I would also like to make the piece more authentic and realistic so I feel a greater sense of achievement and success which is at a high standard. A perk of making the piece on computer is that if you run out of space on the page you can go back and make changes so it fits like changing the font size.

From this conclusion, I have self evaluated the flaws in my work and how I can improve for future tasks by learning and developing skills. This self criticism has also worked as a brainstorming session to write future ideas on paper if I was to continue and make progress in my work.
