The document discusses the technologies used to plan and construct a music magazine. To plan the magazine, the author researched real music magazines and used Prezi, Slideshare, and Scribd to upload content. Photos were taken and edited in Photoshop, including cropping backgrounds and choosing shots for the cover and double page spread. Photoshop was used to edit photos and InDesign was used for the first time to create the double page spread, helping give the magazine a professional look and consistent style.

2. Hardware and software used to
plan the pages
Before I created the pages for my music magazine I researched and planned out exactly how I
wanted to do it by looking at genuine pop music magazine covers , contents pages and double
page spreads. To put this onto my blog in a more creative way I learnt how to use
Prezi, Slideshare and Scribd to upload my posts.

3. Hardware and software used to plan
the pages
To plan my pages I had to take a number of photos and choose some to use
throughout my magazine, when I’d chosen the photos to use I edited them on
photoshop before putting them onto my magazine.

4. Hardware and software used to plan
the pages
Once I had taken my photos I edited them so that they would comply with the
conventions of a pop music magazine. To do this cropped the backgrounds off
all of the photos, used the medium close up for the front cover and the
medium long shot for the double page spread.

5. Hardware and software used to
construct the pages
To edit each photo and to create the front cover and contents page I used
Photoshop and then to create the double page spread I used InDesign for the
first time.
