1. Question 6
What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this
product?
2. Blogger.com
To record all my progress, ideas and initial designs I have used Google
website Blogger.
The advantages of using this website is that its simple to use, you can
make it more personal, it even has a method of making it more
interactive with the audience.
3. Adobe Photoshop
I used Adobe Photoshop to create the page
banners at the bottom or top of each page which
showed the page reference number, I also used
Photoshop to adapt some of the images I had
taken.
Photoshop has various advantages, it allows you to
change and adapt a photograph completely.
Changing the brightness, altering the colours. Its
simple enough for anyone to use.
4. InDesign
I used InDesign to create the actual product itself. The programme was hard
to get used to and was complex to understand. But some of the benefits of
using this as opposed to Microsoft word/publisher is that you had a whole
range of things that you could do that you couldn’t do in other document
creating software. Like you could create sections to place in images and
text, and you could organise things onto different layers.
5. Lumix G2 DSLR camera.
Working with a DSLR camera as opposed to a traditional point and shoot is
so much more diverse, you can change the focus to draw attention to your
subject, you can adapt the exposure, shutter speed and iso to adapt the
lighting to make the image much clearer.
