The document discusses technologies used to construct a magazine product. It describes using a SLR camera to take photos for pages, which was essential hardware. The computer was also very important as it was used to construct pages and run software like Adobe Photoshop and InDesign. Photoshop was useful for making the magazine look professional, while InDesign helped create double page spreads and organize content pages. Various presentation software like Prezi, Emaze, and PowToon were also utilized.

1. Q6) What have you learnt about technologiesfromthe processof constructing this product?
In termsof the hardware thatI used,one of the veryfirstpiecesthatIusedwas a SLR (Bridge)
camera.I usedthisto take the photosforall of my pages.This piece of
hardware wasessential due tothe factit playedsucha bigpart in the
completionof mymagazine butalsothe fact thatit isa multi-functional piece
of hardware.Thismeansthatyoucan domore thanjust take pictureswhich
were veryuseful in termsof thingslike my
time management.Anotherpieceof hardware
that I usedwhichisalsomulti-functional isamobile phone.One of the
mostimportantpiecesof software thatIusedoverall wasthe
computer.Thisisobviouslythe mostimportantdue to the fact thatit
was the hardware that I usedtoconstruct my pages.Thiswasvery
effectiveasthe computerissomethingthatwasalwaysgoingtobe usedthroughoutthe
constructionstage of the coursework.Itwas alsouseful fora lotof the software thatI wasusingas
well asit wasall locatedon the computer.
On the otherhand,there are alsoimportantpiecesof software thatplayjustasbiga part as the
hardware. Twopiecesof software thatI usedquite alotin the creation stage of my
magazine wasAdobe PhotoshopandInDesign.PhotoshopissomethingthatIhave
usedbefore fromwhenIwascompletingmypreliminarytask.Thiswasveryuseful
as it meantI couldmake mymagazine lookmore professional byusingmore

had neverusedbefore.Ifoundthese,atfirsta bitmore difficulttounderstand,mainlydue tothe
fact that theywere newandI wasunaware on how to use them.Although,Ieventuallygotusedto
them.Thiswas goodfor me as it showedmyinitiative andemphasisedmyITskillsandhow Iwas
able to use otherpiecesof software aswell asthe typesthatwe had alreadyusedinthe past.
Finally,Powtoonisapresentationsoftware butmakesyourworkinthe formof an animation.I
