4. Photoshop
• I used Photoshop to edit the photos I used in
my magazine and to create my front cover on.
I used Photoshop because it would mean that
I was able to edit my photos well and make
them look professional. I also used it because
it would mean that when putting text and
boxes on my cover it would mean that it could
be done properly and look good.
5. InDesign
• I used InDesign to make my contents Page and
Double Page Spread. I used InDesign for my
contents page because it allowed be to make
sure that all the text was in line on my page. It
also allowed me to make the layout for my
Double Page Spread.
6. Dafont
• I used Dafont to download different fonts
which would help make my magazine look
better. By using Dafont I was able to use more
fonts then I would have been able to if I had
just used the fonts on PowerPoint, as there
was more choices.
7. Prezi
• I used Prezi for some of my blog posts to show
research I have done. I used Prezi because it
was an easy way for me to present what I had
found and make it clear to understand. It also
helps to show the examiner I can use different
technologies.
8. UK Tribes
• I used UK Tribes to research into my target
audience. By doing this I was able to make my
product more appealing to my target audience
because I knew more about them and knew
more about what they would be interested in.
9. Glogster
• I used Glogster to create a poster of things
which my target audience are interested in. By
using Glogster it was easier to insert pictures
and then arrange them into a collage so that it
looked better.
10. Blogger
• I used Blogger to document all the work I did
in the process of making my magazine on.
11. Microsoft Word
• I used Microsoft Word to write my article on.
By using Word I was able to check that my
article was ok and make sure there wasn’t any
spelling mistakes in it before actually putting it
on my Double Page Spread.
12. Camera
• I used a stills camera to take all the photos
which feature in my magazine. Because I used
a professional camera, my photos looked a
good quality. I was also able to adjust things
like the zoom to how I wanted it,
13. Photography Studio
• I used the photography studio to take the photos for my front
cover in. By using the photography studio I had access to the
studio lights which meant that I had good lighting in my
photos and they looked more professional. Also because I
used the studio it meant that I had the option to use a variety
of different colored backgrounds for my photos because of
the different backdrops which are in the studio. Because I
used the studio it also meant that my photos were taken in
the same kind of environment that photos which appear on
real magazines are.
14. Scanner
• I used the Scanner to scan in my flat plans and
examples of real music magazines which I
bought during research. By using a scanner it
meant that I could put the plans for my
magazine into my blog easily. It also meant
that I could scan in parts of magazines to
analyze, to help me when it came to making
my magazine.
