3. Blogger
I used blogger to Publish my work through the
many different posts of my work through the
stages of designing it. It was a easy method to
use and was good to use as I familiarized myself
with the application quicker to easily use it.
4. InDesign
InDesign was the tool that I used the most through
this project as it is what I used to contrast my
magazine and its three pages. It was good to use as
it helped me to easily structure and layout the
pages of my magazine to look more professional. It
allowed to develop my already made ideas to
improve my work. This was the first time that I had
used this tool so at first it was quite hard and
complicated to use however after using it for a
while, it is easy to get used to and understand the
controls of the application and is easy to continue
making your project.
5. Internet Explorer
The internet was used a lot during the designing
and making of the project, it especially helped
during the research stage of the project. It was
easy to find out information about music
magazines including the typical convention and
what information is in music magazines. Also the
internet provided blogger which was an
important part of the publishing of my work.
6. Photoshop
Photoshop was used in my project when editing
some of the images that were contained in my
magazine, I used Photoshop to edit my photos so
they could be suitable and look professional to go
into my magazine, it also allowed me to remove bits
of the photo that were not needed to make it
perfect to then add to my work on InDesign. I had
used Photoshop before so I already new most of
the basics to it however it was quite easy to use and
understandable the more you used it.
7. Digital camera
I used a digital camera to take the pictures of
the images that are in my music magazine. The
camera allowed me to add certain effects to my
images to look more professional. This was easy
to do although I did not know how to do it
before however it was easy to learn.
