Photoshop and fireworks. I have taken many
images and developed them by editing them

6. Microsoft Word : This was primarily the basis of my magazine which I
used as a platform to construct my magazine as it had some essential
tools that I needed to make my magazine look appealing and have an
effective look. I was able to use text boxes and a variety of fonts which
helped create my magazine which wouldn’t of been apparent on other
programmes. It also made the construct of my magazine quicker and

7. SPECIFICTECHNOLOGIES USED IN MY
PRODUCTION
I used MicrosoftWord for various images in order to remove the backgrounds of
my images, this enabled me to improve the quality of my image and also add
my image onto other backgrounds that were conventional to my genre. If the
editing of word didn’t fully remove the background then I used Photoshop to
cut round edges mainly the hair; this enabled me to produce a high quality
image.
MicrosoftWords cropping and background removal was a quick and easy
process and was easily accessible for me to quickly edit my images in very little
time with high quality results.
