3. Apple mac computer
When I first started
making my magazine I
wasn’t very familiar with
apple mac computers,
however after making
my music magazine I
would say I am very
familiar with them and
can use with having
basic problems.

4. Key board and mouse.
I was already familiar with using
a mouse and key board but
didn’t type nearly as much as I
do now from drafting the article
to writing it and answering all of
the evaluation questions and
planning questions, so I have
learned how to increase my
typing speed to get more
information down, quicker.
5. White paper backdrop
I haven’t used a white paper back drop to
this scale (for people) I found out this really
increase the brightness of photos and makes
them look cleaner. I learned that the
artist/subject you are taking the photo of
should stand to close to the back drop or you
will see their shadow and also the subject
shouldn’t stand to far away from the back
drop or the bright effect will dull slightly. The
white back drop was really helpful for
creating my magazine and helping me get a
crisp photo. The backdrop was also lit with
two strobe lights to create a high exposure
and a whiter, brighter background and
decrease the chance natural shadows and
light from being seen.
6. Soft boxes
I used these to give a softer and a
rounder light on the subject. I
learned they made the light disburse
and look more natural (softer) and
not so harsh on the subject. I notice
they also decrease the chance of
harsh shadows from the model fro
the flashing when the photo is taken.
I also learned the effect they give
makes the light look more like natural
day light rather than light from a
electric source.
7. Hemisphere 300 – Strobe flash
I learned the Hemisphere 300 has a
dial on the back to adjust the output,
I had the modelling light on. The
auxiliary lights set to ‘slave’ (so they
had had a trigger that put them in
sync with the built in light sensor. This
strobe flash creates a very strong
bright light to really capture the
moment and to create a clean crisp
image for the camera to pick up.
8. Horseshoe Flash Trigger
I learned that the horseshoe trigger flash
gives out an infer red signal that is sent to
the strobe flash and triggers the flash in-
sync with the cameras shutter. This was a
very important piece of the equipment in
the sense that without it I wouldn’t of had
such a bright or professional look photo
because with out it the strobe lights
wouldn’t work in time with the cameras
shutter and it would have been very
difficult to get a clean, crisp photograph
without blurs.
9. Camera
The camera I used was the Nikon D3100 –
Digital SLR and I used it on the
Manual Aperture f11 setting with a Shutter
Speed of 1/300th.The camera I used was a vital
part of my magazine cover because with out
it I wouldn’t have been able to use my own
photos. When using the camera I learned how
to focus it (by holding the capture button half
way down until it focuses) or moving away or
closer to the subject. Taking photos close to
the subject mean changing it to macro or
portrait, but for shots further away from the
subject meant using it on the manual aperture
f11 setting (which what I used it on to take my
photos)
11. Wordpress.com
I made my blog on wordpress to present my work,
I've never made a blog before so this was new, but I
have learned over the course of making my
magazine and answering all of the planning
questions how to use my blog. From making new
posts, to making new pages and customizing my
blog and altering the colour scheme.
12. Slideshare.com
Before I didn’t know what slide share was I didn’t know how to
transfer my presentations from PowerPoint onto my blog. So
when I found out about slideshare I learned that by uploading
the PowerPoints there I could embed the PowerPoint
presentation on to my blog after uploading it. I did this by
coping and pasting the embed code that appears after
uploading it. (this has really helped the presentation on my
blog and has taught me how to now embed PowerPoints on
other websites)
13. Photoshop
Photoshop played a massive part in the
making of my magazine from editing photos
to writing with many different fonts, in many
different styles, colours and creating the
logo for the magazine.
14. Photoshop editing the photos
Photoshop helped me edit the
photos for my magazine, I started
by cropping any photos I had to
crop I did this by first using the
marquee tool to drag a square
box around what I wanted to
keep from the photo and then
clicked on the word image at the
top of the page and selected
crop when a tap opened up
underneath it. This is the way I
cropped my images.
15. Photoshop editing the photos
For my magazine I wanted everything to look
clean and polished including the artists, this
was to the magazine a more professional
look because widely successful magazine
tend to Photoshop their artist to make their
magazines look more appealing to
customers. I polished up my photos by firstly
using the healing brush tool on Photoshop.
You just click on the icon and hold down the
curse over and imperfections and the vanish
(I learned how to this while putting together
my first image for my magazine, by just
experimenting).
16. Photoshop editing the photos.
Now I learned how to use the brightness and contrast tool, it is
simple to use you just move the sliders up or sown the scale
until you have brightened the image enough and/or
decreased/increased the contrast on the photo.
17. Photoshop editing the photos.
While I was learning how to
brighten and change the
contrast on the photos I
also learned how to
change the hue and
saturation on the photos.
The process is very similar to
the brightness and contrast
methods (just move the
sliders after selecting which
colour you would like to
change the hue of or
saturation of.)
18. Photoshop the paintbrush tool.
I used the paintbrush tool for multiple
reasons through out my magazine. I
learned not only to use it to draw shapes
and use to colour in backgrounds for
writing to go over the top of but also to
edit the artists look. For example on my
magazine cover I use the paint brush tool
to draw the lipstick on my artist. All I did
was colour in the lips with a pink and then
turn the opacity down for the whole layer
I had drawn on to dull the colour and
make it look more natural. I learned all of
this from editing my first photo for my
magazine and it really helped me
understand how to alter a photo and
make it look natural.
19. Layout photoshop.
I also used photoshop to help me plan the
basic layout of the page with the ruler tool
(you can drag blue lines vertically and
horizontally in to place across your page to
make boxes and guidelines for where you
want things to go. I also learned that when
you are finished with the page you were
working on, once you save it the lines don’t
show on the saved image.
20. Fonts and writing.(1001 fonts)
When looking for the right fonts to use I learnt
about how to download new fonts that weren’t
already installed on photoshop from a software
called 1001 fonts. There are just over one
thousand fonts to chose from and I found this
tool helpful to experiment with different fonts, to
see what suited my magazine best.
For the fonts I did use I learned how to put a
stroke around the text to make it stand out
more, this proved to be a really helpful skill
through out the making of my magazine, and I
used it at least ones on every page. I also
learned how to change the size of the stroke
and the colour this also helped me in making
letters stand out.
21. Word.
I used the Microsofts WORD
to draft my article, Word
helped me to increase the
speed of my typing and I
learned how important it is to
draft things, because you
can correct your spellings
and alter sentences so that
they read better.
22. PowerPoint
And last but not least PowerPoint has also taught me
a lot through out my course work how to present my
work in an alternate way. I have learned how to
present my questions in a professional and stylish
way. I have also learnt about the other software
(slideshare) because I had to embed the PowerPoint
in wordpress.
23. Everything
By making this magazine I have had to
learn how to use various hardware's and
software's, some have been more
challenging to use than others but I have
learnt how to use them and am now
much more confident in how to create
and use the hardware's and software's to
create something of my own.
