1. What have I learnt about
technologies from the process if
constructing this product
By Conor Keating

2. • When I started media studies I had not used Photoshop
before, also I had no experience in quark. Now I feel highly
confident when using these applications on my own enabling
me to complete a magazine again among other things from
using the tools on Photoshop and quark for my magazine.
The software is a learning process and there is an infinite
amount of things you can lean to do, however I feel I have
learnt allot of tools to produce more than just the standard
stuff, this is through many features on my magazine, one of
witch being the outline of my title so that it stands out further
using the stroke tool to the amount you prefer, this therefore
makes it stand out more and easier to read. I did this with
other parts of my front cover and attracting the reader’s
attention as that is the first thing they see.

3. Changes
• Through creating my magazines I have made many mistakes
including the layer format in Photoshop and how doing more
on one layer is not a good idea as if mistakes are made it
makes everything allot harder to change, also gaps can be
quite large between lines meaning if they are in different text
box’s they you can move you line as close to, or as far away as
you prefer.
• as you can see there are major gaps between the each line

4. • With the images I used, some were black and white, some
effected in other ways. However I learnt many ways that
you could change the image, this is used in Photoshop not
quark. You can increase/decrease the contrast and
brightness, also you can put other effects on the image like
making it black and white or cutting the image out and give
it a different coloured background to fit with the image
colour scheme. This enhances the quality of the image and
attraction toward it. Also it is pleasing to the eye, rather
than having low quality image.

5. • I did this through my magazine changing
images to different ones to improve the
quality, or used the same image and edited it.
You can see this through how many times I
changed my magazine. To edit my images I
used PowerPoint only as there was no reason
to use a different program as it had
everything.
