1. When designing my magazine i had to use all types of technology to help make the magazine
look how i wanted it to and to fit the Genre and style of the magazine.
The technologies i used are:
Camera: Nikon D3100 so that i could take high quality images
of my artist for my magazine, i learnt that i had to take different shots of my model in order
to get wider selection of images allowing me to have more choice on what images will go
into my magazine and also some will fit the style of the magazine but some images might not
so taking many photos allows me the verity.
Tripod: I used the tripod to steady the camera to get a sharp image that wasn't blurred or
distorted this also alowed me to keep a consistant angle when taking pictures so that if i
needed to take the photo again for any reason i could take it in the same position that i liked
and set it to so that it would be the image i wanted for my magazine.
Lighting: I used lighting to create more or less shadow in my
images depending on the style of my artist and my magazine, the lighting was also important
because i could get a clearer image that was easier to see wheres without the lighting i would
have had a low visibilty image. To create less shadow i positioned the lights ferther way from
eachother at a 45 degree angle to create less or now shadow depending on how my
artist/model was positioned, this worked and i was able to create multiple shots with less
shadow that made my magazine look bettter and suited the style of my artist. This worked
because the light was creating a qshadow at the feet of the model/ artist so when i was taking
my waste up shots there was no shadow and more light.
White Screen: because i didn't want any outside pictures or inside pictures (Home, restaurant
etc.) as my backdrop i wanted to use a plain white background which enabled me to edit the
background colour to what i would like to fit the style of my magazine and artist. tyhe white
screen also allowed the lighting to make the image brighter and more visable.

2. Photoshop: I used Photoshop to enhance the quality of my
images and piece all aspects of my magazine together. With photoshop i also had a veriety of
fonts and colours to choose from that allowed me to create the style of my magazine as well
as choose the right fonts and colours to be used. Photoshop was a good tool when editing
photos and trying mtomve images text and othere aspects of my magazine arround to get the
style and shape of my magazine right.
Microsoft Word: I used Microsoft word to write my article and also spell check if i thought I
misspelled anything which allowede me to make the magazine look professional as well as
readable.
I used all of these to enhance the quality of my magazine and produce the best quality images
and magazine as i could as if i was designing a professional magazine to be published and
distributed.
