Wesbsites: 
Deconstructions websites has helped me with my own work as I now have inspiration that I can look back on when creating my own products to make sure mine follows the correct codes and conventions. When looking back at my deconstructions I can see the essential aspects I need or want to include. This will ensure I can achieve a high grade for my website design. The three deconstructions I have looked at have shown me a range of layouts and designs that I could possibly use. As I looked at fashion magazines it links in with my Prom genre it will clearly tell me the connotations that are needed and how they present products in a creative and unique way. For my own website I will be making it unique in order for it to be appealing to my target audience. In order to make it regional I will include local businesses around me.

Magazines:
The magazines I looked at greatly changed in layout and designs however I feel it was important to look at a range in order to gather the conventions of a page to decide which ones matched my genre and my target audience. This also gave me more inspiration as to how the magazines differ and why in layout, models and colour schemes to suit their purpose and their audience. Although I looked at fashion magazine I thought this would match my genre of prom and my target audience as there is not many prom magazines to take inspiration from other than teen prom which is an American company. Bright colours that are girly and clear images is one convention in which I wish to follow. I further want to make sure my layout is clear and does not seem cluttered and overcrowded but in return not being too simple and boring.

Billboard:
For the billboard deconstructions I looked at they all differed in style giving me a range of ideas and inspiration of ray own product when I come to create it. As I have never designed a billboard before and therefore these allowed me to learn the key elements that were needed in this production and how companies make them appealing to a specific target audience. I further received ideas of colour schemes and designs for my production. Following my deconstruction I wish to aspects from all of them and realised the the billboard only needs to contain the essential information with a eye catching colour scheme and image in order to catch the audiences attention as they will only see if for a second. It therefore needs to stick in their mind. I will also link my other products with the i.e the colour scheme and the brand name in order to make it recognisable to my target audience.
