During the making of the journalistic writing, I had to do some research regarding the celebrities opinions on whether music piracy is wrecking the music industry. I went on the internet and looked for celebrities that had a big influence on music and saw their opinions. I found articles on what music artists like Lily Allen thought about it as she has been affected. I then went on other websites that raised up the issue about music piracy and saw the facts and figures. I believe that this is a strength of my research but I think I could have improved by adding more to it.

My journalistic and writing skills were okay however I believe it could have been better if I wrote as if I was in a newspaper rather than making it like an essay. I think that my strengths on this would be that I know how to structure and string sentences together in an eloquent way. But I would say my weakness would be the amount of detail I put into it.

I have learned many things on InDesign and I have learned how to drop images into a box, I have learned how to make text boxes and how to keep all of them the same width. On InDesign I have learned how to turn a one page spread into a double page spread and keep both of them the same size. I have also learned how to change the colours on the background of the pages and how to change the colours of fonts. However I feel that I’m not equipped enough to use the database to the best of its ability. I believe that with more practice, that I would be able to maximise my skills on InDesign.

I have gained some skills on web publishing as I have learned how to make blog, I have learned how to design it, I have learned how to upload on to it and I’ve also learned how to put work on there. However I think that I have more weaknesses than strengths because I haven’t used the blog a lot and I think that with time I will have more strengths than weaknesses. However I have skills on how to use it.

I think that based on the weaknesses I have identified; that I need to add more facts and figures to my journalistic writing, improve the style of which I write in, and add more details. I feel that I should also make myself get used to InDesign and the blog by using it more and making myself familiar with it.
