1. What have you learnt about
technologies from the process
of constructing this product?

2. I used all the programs above from start to finish to complete my music magazine to the best quality possible. I have used
Adobe Photoshop and InDesign for the production of magazine and used WordPress, Prezi and Slideshare for the distribution
on the blog along with the production of the evaluation.
I have gained a large amount of confidence using these programs and has allowed me to experiment with more in depth,
creative methods that I would never have been able to achieve without the understanding I have gained from doing this
course.
You’ll be able to see the stark contrast in creativity and refinement from my original attempts to my final product. This was
only possible after gaining knowledge and experience with these programs.

3. InDesign
• I had never used InDesign before the course and my
inexperience was clearly shown through my early
attempts. However as time progressed I began to
understand the flow and rules of creating a
professional looking magazine. I was able to create
the ideas in my head after I learnt the skills InDesign
offers.

4. Photoshop
• I have had a little experience with Photoshop before
the course started and thanks to Photography, I was
able to confidently use the program to enhance the
photos taken. I was also more aware of camera
settings and composition which definitely shone
through on my DPS where the text flows around the
models body. I intended to do this whilst I took the
shots so I was able to manipulate the image to fit
this.

5. Word Press
• At the beginning of this course I had
never maintained a blog or had used
Word Press. I struggled at first with so
many lists and options, but now I can
confidently include video, questionnaires
and other outside sourced media. I am
able to maintain and show developing
ideas through my blog. It has been a
great piece of technology for evidencing
my ideas and progression through the
course.

6. Prezi and SlideShare
• These programs/sites have been used
to display my evaluation in a creative
and unique way. They have helped me
create diverse forms of showing the
information.
Conclusion
• To conclude, I have learnt a large amount
on how to handle and produce material
using a number of different programs. I
have also gained the skills to not only
produce but display my work in a
professional and engaging way.
