1. Evaluation Question 6 – Technologies
The first technology used to complete my coursework would havebeen
Microsoftword. I did a lot of my research and planning on Microsoftword and
this helped me organisethe documents easily as they would all be in the same
place. Italso allowed me to easily writeout whatI was doing as that is the core
purposeof Microsoftword. MicrosoftPowerPointwas also a usefultechnology
for similar reasons to Microsoftword.
Slideshareand Blogger were the next two technologies used and these helped
a lot as it let me presentmy work in an easy and simple way.
The next technology used would have been a camera. I used my own Canon
Camera and the camera on my phone for test shots and the actual piece. The
cameras were incredibly helpful as they made it possiblefor me to complete
my work. I learned a lot with the cameras. I used different types of focus and
the zoomfunction to get a wide variety of shots.
Photoshop helped a lot with adjusting my photos and making them look more
professional. Theability to remove the background of an image with the magic
wand and eraser tool was the biggest help from Photoshop.
The two font websites I used were Fontspaceand DaFontand they helped my
browsea widerange of fonts to be used in my magazine. This gave me more
customisation of my magazine as I didn’t have to use a tool such as word art.
The voice recorder on my phone helped with gaining my focus group
interviews and audience research as it was easier to interview people for these
topics. Surveymonkey.comhelped me with my audience questionnaire
however as I was aiming to makea survey instead of an interview.
Websites such as Popplet, Preziand Emaze helped with my evaluation as they
gave me a new and interesting way to present my work.
