Evaluation: Question 6
What have you learnt about technologies from the
process of constructing this product?
In my production I used various technical items and software's.
This allowed me to explore and understand just how technical it
is to produce my product. Learning how to use this software
and technologies has really helped me gain my preferred
reading.
Digital SLR Nikon Camera
I used this for the photography of my
product. Following some research (such as
tutorials) into the product, I found it very
simple to use (see next slide). I found the
fact that it is digital extremely useful
because, as I was taking the photos, I could
decide how I wanted the lighting and modify
the setting or redirect my model. The large
memory of the camera allowed me to take
multiple shots so that, when looking back at
the photos on my computer, I could decide
which photo I wanted on the front cover,
double page spread etc.
BLOG
iPhones
I used an iPhone 4 for one of the pictures on
the contents page and an iPhone 6 for other
pictures on the contents page. I felt that
although taking the photos on my phone and
liking them, that it was an added challenge to
try to adapt the photos using Photoshop and
changing the contrasts, brightness etc. Due
to the difference in quality from the iPhone 4
and the professional cameras, I decided to
just have those images smaller and on the
contents page as less important images, but
adding some effect towards the layout of the
Adobe Photoshop
I used Adobe Photoshop for the majority of my
production phase as I found it very simple and
straight forward to use. However I didn’t initially feel
the same way; I struggled at the beginning to
understand how to place an image in the document
or even how to minimize a page. I research different
tutorials, asked for guidance from my teacher and
eventually taught myself at home by purchasing the
software and continuing my work after school. I now
find the software extremely easy to work with and
very useful for manipulating certain images and
creating effects. Over the course of the year, my
technical abilities have definitely grown as I have
learnt to understand Photoshop, which has allowed
me to alter the contrasts of my production and put
Examples
In the previous slide, I have altered the contrast,
saturation and colours of the same images, and I
have chosen which ones I liked the most. I found my
focus group extremely useful and helpful in the
production phases. I used the Facebook Messenger
app for my focus group using an iPhone 4. Here is
an example of how useful my group was, deciding
which images they liked as they were my chosen
target audience.
Safari and Chrome
I used both Safari and Chrome Browsers to
complete my research into different
mediums. I researched the different
magazines that I wanted to base mine on,
including Q, NME, CLASH and Fader. The
internet really helped me as it allowed me to
keep in touch with my focus group and share
all of my ideas and opinions in addition to
gaining some feedback from those in the age
of my target audience. The internet also
allowed me to post on my blog and update
all of the progress that I had made along the
PowerPoint, Word and
Prezi
I used all of this software to gather
information together and put it in an exciting
document and interactive presentation. I
wanted to display some of my research and
ideas in some form that either my target
audience or just anybody who is willing to
learn would be engaged by. With the use of
transitions, colours, images and quirky fonts I
think that I have been able to inject some fun
into some of the more heavy text that I have
put together.
Lighting
I used professional light boxes that helped me
capture that realistic photographic effect. I was able
to move them around to get my preferred look and
tried various different distances etc., and then
shared them with my focus group and asked for their
opinion on the different photographs. I am very
pleased and impressed with how the photos have
captured the highlighted blue in the model’s eyes
and I feel that that is due to the very good camera
quality and the very bright but subtle lights used.
In Conclusion…
The use of technology has increased my production
immensely. If I had not had these technologies then my
production would be a low level 1 and I would have been
very disappointed with the lack of professionalism in the
final product. Without these technologies I wouldn’t have
been able to do the following; research different
magazines and their designs to help inspire my product,
share with my focus group or post onto my blog, track my
progress and also see where I needed to improve . To
conclude I think that the technologies are of vital
importance in the making of products like mine and I
would thoroughly recommend that future students use
them when creating these types of products.
