2. Question 6
What have you learnt about technologies
from the process of constructing this product?
3. During the process of making my music
magazine, I have used different media
and technologies in completing this
project.
These are: Laptop, Computer, GIMP &
Adobe Photoshop CS5 (editing software),
SanDisk Memory stick, Microsoft
PowerPoint, Slide share, YouTube, Nikon
D3000, Wordpress, Microsoft Office Word
2007, Epson Stylus SX125 Scanner,
Windows Movie Maker and dafont.com
4. Nikon D3000
This is the camera that I use to take
pictures of my models and other things I
could add into my magazine as it takes
very good quality images.
5. sony VAIO & DELL
I use both of my laptop and computer. I
use the computer mostly for editing as it
is easier to use and written work on my
laptop.
6. SanDisk
I carry this around at all times and have
transferred every single files I have from
my computer and laptop such as the
photos I have taken from my camera.
7. Epson Scanner
This is what I have used to scan my first
drafts of my music magazine which
automatically transfers the documents to
the computer.
8. GIMP, Photoshop CS5 & dafont
Every editing I have applied on the images and the layout
of my magazine is edited in GIMP. At school, we were
suggested to use Photoshop, but I had no idea how to use
it, so I have decided to use GIMP as I have more skills in it.
These two software are very similar but GIMP is free to
download!
I download fonts from the website www.dafont.com and
transfer these into the ‘Fonts’ file of GIMP to enable me to
use it.
9. Microsoft & Slideshare
I both use Microsoft word office and
Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 to present
long written work into my blog.
I publish my documents to slideshare
which allows me to embed the
documents into my blog.
10. Wordpress, YouTube &
Windows Movie Maker
I have created my own blog from the website
www.wordpress.com to post all of my work to show
all the research and planning of my music
magazine including the final pieces and the
Evaluation questions.
I have used windows movie maker to show all of
the images of my model as a presentation and
uploaded it to YouTube which also allowed me to
embed the video to my blog.
11. What I have learnt
It did took me time in producing this
project but because of this, I have learnt
to use a lot of other technologies I have
never used before such as: Wordpress,
Slideshare and Photoshop.
Now that I have the intelligence in using
these different technologies, I will be
showing improved skills for my
upcoming projects.
