1. The technologies that I have used have benefited me by making the overall layout of my magazine
professionalism. Using technologies such as indesign and Photoshop enabled me to enhance my ideas
further my ideas actually because doing a draft is different to doing it real. It’s really creative as you can even
explore and combine the different steps in an action. Your knowledge and skills will be sharpened with what
you will discover. I have tried to look into the steps and ways in creating it. This way, you will know which
tool and effect is used to give a good result. After seeing your productivity, you’ll feel like an expert for
it will certainly look like the work of an expert. You can amazingly come up with a work with combined
techniques, tones and effects. So, even if you are not really that good in photo manipulation, it will seem like
you really are with the magical touch of actions. This is what I felt by using Photoshop and it certainly did
enhance my skill further because in terms of creativity I really good at it. However using indesign was a bit
trouble for me because from my perspective Photoshop enables and makes it easier for me to construct my
magazine. In indesign there’s too much editing you need to make which waste your time for e.g. when
constructing the content page I found it difficult to place the writings together and create more peace. But
at the end I learned properly on how to use it properly and it have a good outcome especially for my double
page spread giving the look I want from it. Indesign in terms of handling long passages, multiple
pages, subtle manipulation, alternate characters, large sizes, Open-Type fonts, drop caps etc. Such as you
have more control over the text and adding. Hence when writing in my double page spread it made easier
for me write up neatly. Indesign helped me to expand my skills in developing the style of my writing since it
gave the idea of how and what font create certain affects. I would use Indesign in future if I had to layout a
book since it saves an hours of time. Furthermore when I was in the studio DSLR camera creates an amazing
effect especially for a simple beautiful photo. By shooting in RAW mode the camera captures more
detail, and allows for far more flexibility when it comes to editing photos later on. SLR cameras are usually
good at taking a sequence of photos of a moving subject; and will be able to keep re-focusing as the subject
moves too. YOU Can capture a moment in the photo. The pictures at the end came really good and it gave
me the chance to edit it more effectively.
What have you learnt about technologies from the process of
constructing this product?

2. I wasn’t shooting since I was the model; my assistant loved it when she was taking
pictures of me. Because it gave her less stress and she said that now she feels like a good
photographer. From her experience it increased her photography skills but it was new skills
for her learn. In addition when doing my pitch presentation I decided that prezi is a better
technology. This is because Prezi’s unique slick “zooming” function offers an increasingly
popular alternative to the traditional PowerPoint presentations. Prezi is an online, Flashbased presentation creator who shares similar functionalities with other information
presentation programmes such as Microsoft PowerPoint and Apple Keynotes. It is a visual
learning tool which allows you to create maps of texts, images, videos, graphics etc.
Creates stunning visual impact. Import pictures, maps and PDFs and use them as a
canvas. With the cinematic experience of the zooming function, I felt like I’m transported
into a “world” that I have designed myself. With prezi it increases your creativity and
thinking. Therefore I believe prezi has made my creative skills boost further. Unfortunately
its only limited in using more tools and options you have spent money on it. However prezi
enabled me to express my creativity and stretched my thinking outside the box. Before
starting our work we uses time toast to outline what we are going to do and time toast is
where you can keep up to date what you need to do. Time toast is a great technology to
keep track of your work; it creates a timeline event for you. As a result by using time toast
has improved my time management but however due to the pressure of work I don’t really
open my account every day and therefore because of the time rush it created a little bit
problem for me because in my content page and double page spread I have forgotten to
put the dates in. But right after that day I started to use time toast again which gave me a
better result of my time. So therefore time toast for me improved my time management.

3. Finally when deciding the most favourite technology i
have chosen the blogger; it’s free and offers anyone the
ability to manage their own blog without the burden of
technicalities. It encouraged me to be active throughout the
whole journey. It captures changes in thinking and
motivating on your ideas as well as it invites people tom
collaborate such as it made it more easy for my audience
to give me feedback since its available to anyone who
wants to comment on it. Plus blogging makes the whole
process of constructing the magazine more formal as i got
to feel that I’m the control of the blogger. Plus it’s cost
effective, in timing and so on. On the other hand before
doing photography i did my extra research on what are the
types of effect in a DSLR camera, learned more the
shutter, exposure, the layering, motions, the ways of taking
the picture etc. So I would say my research came in handy
for me as i was able to demonstrate to my assistance on
how to use it properly and what are the ways I wanted her
