Target Audience

One issue which arose during meeting on the 25/11/13 was my audience of technology. At time of meeting I was solely going to focus on Apple only devices but having gone and looked at the publishing capabilities of the Adobe DPS I discovered that I could publish the magazine to a number of different platforms such as Apple iPad, Apple iPhone, Android and Kindle Fire devices. I discovered this a website named DPCI which lists many questions.

Which devices does the Adobe Digital Publishing Suite support?
The DPS App Builder enables customers to create custom viewer apps for iPad, iPhone, Android and Amazon Kindle Fire devices.

However, I looked on the Adobe FAQ's and discovered that I would need either the Adobe DPS Professional or Enterprise edition to allow publications to other platforms as the single edition only allows for iPad devices.

Is it possible to create publications for Android™ tablets with Digital Publishing Suite, Single Edition?
No. Single Edition is only for iPad devices. However, Professional Edition and Enterprise Edition allow publication to the Android platform as well. Those two editions include Content Viewer for iPad, Content Viewer for Android, and Content Viewer for Desktop, so you can create content for iPad and all Android based tablets.

I will continue to design for these devices and ask whether the university has got the software I need or will help obtain it in the future. From this meeting I also realised the need to do some research for my audience by looking at the student population with these devices. This will help me get a better understanding of the audience/people who can use magazine.
