type and location was best for me to make
it be conventional for the indie genre.
2. Publisher also offers a range of fonts and
colours. When I used simple fonts for the
date on the contents page Publisher gave
me these fonts and I could easily add it on
my pages.
I used publisher which allowed me to edit
the page and add images/writing. It let me
edit the layout of the page and make it
look conventional.
I used publisher to edit these pages and
adding images/writing on to the page
from other websites.
3. Fontspace is very useful for when I want a
big bold font and the range of
fonts/colours were helpful because I could
choose whatever I wanted.
I used font space to get a range of fonts. It allowed
me to look in the different sections and find the sans
serif fonts that I wanted. It allowed me to look at how
the text would seem and change the
colour/background of it.
Fontspace let me try out different fonts
and allow me to see how it would look
on my magazine easily. I used font space
for all the pages.
4. The edit made my image stand
out more and enhance the
colours. It made my front cover
look more eye catching.
Pixlr allowed me to edit the main image. I used
this to get a different edit to make her stand out
and look more eye catching.
I only used pixlr on the front cover to
improve the image. The image was
originally pale and pixlr allowed me
to try out different edits and find the
one I wanted.
5. Picasa was useful because there was a lot
of effects and edits to choose from. I
edited the pictures on the contents page
and the double page spread on Picasa.
Picasa was another technology I used for
my magazine to edit the pictures.
The edits make my images stand out
and makes my magazine attractive.
