1. Q6. What have you learnt about technologies
from the process of constructing this
product?

2. Photoshop
• I have learnt how to use different tools and
techniques on Photoshop such as the
brightness/contrast tool, how to add text onto a
photo, how to change the size and proportion of an
image. This will help me with future media projects
that I need to use Photoshop for as I will know how
to use the basic tools. I used Photoshop to edit my
photos and to create my whole front cover.

3. Quark Express
• I have learnt how to use the basic tools on Quark
express such as how to insert text and images, how
to set up the page layout and how to make drop
capitals. This will help me with future media projects
that I will do on Quark express because I will already
have the knowledge of how to use It. I used quark to
make my contents page.

4. Camera
• I used my camera a lot for this project as I had to
take photos of the bands featured in my magazine
and upload them to my computer to use for my
magazine. I used my own camera instead of a college
camera so I already knew how to use it. I took the
photos, uploaded them to my computer and
transferred them onto my memory stick. I then
brought my memory stick into college and uploaded
the photos to Photoshop so I could edit them and
use them for my production work.

5. What I have worked as during this
project
• I have worked as a Photographer, Journalist,
Sub-editor, Graphic designer and Proof reader
during this project. I think my strong points
were photography and being a journalist as I
think they are the best things in my magazine.
I think my weaker point was the graphic
designing as I found it quite tricky on Quark
express sometimes to lay out the page and set
up the text.
