1. Q7: What have you learnt about
technologies from the process
of constructing this product?

2. Photography

3. I used manual focus over for a lot of
my photos because I liked the effect
of the background being blurred and
the model being in focus.

4. Photoshop

5. This is the
layering pane
which allowed me
to achieve the
effect.
One of the techniques I used during making the my media product was
showing how I put the photos on my magazine together, for example the
small Polaroid shots I used to the bottom left hand corner of my double
page spread. I found that layering my photos on top of each other
suggested a preferred meaning of scattered photographs, maybe on a
girls dressing table.

6. Other technique I used was to
adjust the brightness/darkness of
the photos. I found this useful as
one of my images was a little too
dark and it affected the quality of
my photo. After adjusting the
brightness the quality of my photo
was increased to a good standard.

7. Another technique I used
was to make the main
image overlap some of the
magazine name. I found
that most magazines I
looked at use this technique
a lot when editing the front
page.
This is the layering panel that
allowed me to create this effect.

8. Another technique I
used was creating text
behind other text to
make the page seem
more interesting. I
made speech marks and
then enlarged them and
also change the opacity
so they look almost
invisible. I then placed
them behind the small
paragraphs to give it
more of a effect instead
of just having the
speech marks with the
paragraphs.
