CRITICAL ANALYSIS
Why do we use research methods?
So that we can find information easily, also so that we can repeat the same thing instead of doing something wrong like a different method, all the attempt are with the same methods. Primary and Secondary research worked well with me to Audience and Marketing I got a little stuck on and didn't focus as much on, I now feel strong enough to use Primary & Secondary research in my free time and from future projects.
How do they influence our decisions throughout a project?
They can help with finding out already existing research and help us use quotes and back up someone elses work or someone elses answers. It has also helped me to research in future projects and future task, I now know how to research in different ways.
Compare the research methods you have used in the Election Connection Brief (Primary, Secondary, Audience, Market - what has worked/what hasn’t...?)
The research I did in my Election Connections Brief worked really well, nothing didn’t work, I found out that some young people are interested in politics but when I research through books it said they aren’t but it does affect them a lot, so overall they kind of contradict the other but not by much, the research I did in my local area and the survey I did online were very good and came out with the same answers.
Why have you used the certain research methods you have used for the Election Connection brief? (If you looked at other campaigns/magazines how did they influence your ideas and why?)
I used them because they seemed to work with what I was trying to find out, I made a survey online for young people to answer because a lot of young people, are online and if they come across this survey, they are more likely to answer it then older people. Also asking people in my local area was good because I live very close to a school, meaning a lot of young people live near by and I could ask them. Like I said early Primary and Secondary research is probably the best two I used and I could use in future tasks, but a few of the other methods where a little hard.
What skills have you developed through this research?
How to talk better in public and ask strangers questions without worrying, also I have learn’t how to research online and offline, using books and making surveys is also a good thing to do that I have learn’t. I have also learn’t how to use Primary & Secondary research even more, I feel confident enough to do it myself without any help and could probably start using it outside of college and in future tasks.
Now what? How might you develop your research techniques/develop ideas in the future?
I will try and do more Audience and Marketing research in future tasks, they are probably the two things I did very little on and should have included more in my task.
Has your product achieved what it was set out to achieve? How will/have you tested this?
It has done good but not as good as I planned, like I said i didn’t do much Audience and Marketing research which I originally planned to do, so overall that is something i did not achieve which I wish I had, I know this from my research and from my original plan.

My website has quite a dark background which is similar to the picture on the left, it has big sub headers and images, it also has a tool bar but unlike the one on the left, mine is at the top instead of the side.
