1. What have you learnt
about technologies from
process of constructing
this product?
2. Photoshop is a program that is available on the mac
where you can edit photos, I used this program to edit the
photos that I used in my magazine
With Photoshop I edited my images that I used in my
magazine I did this because by using Photoshop I could
make my images look better and more professional.
Some of the edits that I learned were that I edited the
brightness of the image another edit that I learned by
using Photoshop was how to edit the colour of the image.
With the pictures from my magazine I used Photoshop to
get rid of all the little spots on the images that would
make it look very poor otherwise. Also from using
Photoshop I learned how to use special effects like black
and white and negative etc.
3. Pages is a program on the mac that I used when making
my music magazine and from it I have learned how to use
the technology to the best of the ability
I used pages a lot in my magazine the main part of the
magazine that I used it for was for laying out my
magazine using different shapes so I can see what bits
would go where in my magazine and it was very helpful
for me. I also used pages to write the scripts for my
magazine so I could read it over and make sure it made
sense before putting it in my magazine and it also gave
me the chance to choose what fonts I wanted to use in the
magazine and what one would look the best.
4. Before I could edit my photos on Photoshop first I had to
take the photos and to do that I used the SLR camera to
take all the photos for my magazine
At first I didn’t know how to use the camera so I had to
start off by learning how to use it and with that I had to
learn all the settings that the camera has from example
the shutter speed and the focus and these settings helped
me get the photos that I wanted for the magazine and
also make the quality of the photos very good as well.
5. Dafont is an online website where you can
download a lot of different fonts to your
computer that I could then use in my magazine
Dafont helped me a lot in my magazine
because it meant that I could look through
thousands of fonts to find the one or more fonts
that I wanted in my magazine and what would
look the best in my magazine and make the
writing seem the most interesting.
6. I also used several other websites when making my
magazine and these helped me as they made it so I could
present each stage of constructing the magazine nicely
and they made it look better as it was not just writing on
a page. Here are some of the websites that I used;
