1. Question six: What have you learnt
about technologies from the
process of constructing this
product?
2. During this coursework I have used a lot of different soft
wares. The only ones I have used before is Microsoft word
and powerpoint. I used them to plan and organise my
work to get the best possible result.
3. In the process of constructing this product I have learned a lot! The
process started with learning how to set up my blog in WordPress
where I could post all the things within the product. When I was
making an audience research I learned how to make a survey using
SurveyMonkey.
I had never used Photoshop or InDesign before in my entire life, but I
have learned how to use it in a good enough way that I could make a
readerprofile and my final product which contained a front cover,
contents page and double page spread. The reason I have never used
these photo programmes is because I have never had the subject or
anything related to it in Norway before.
4. Through this coursework I have learned more about social
media. How easy it is to make a blog, and make blog posts.
How to put a PowerPoint- or word document into the blog
by using the webpage called slide share. Everything is more
easy with the help of social media, and without
exaggerating, I couldn't do half of this coursework without
the internet.
5. When I started using Photoshop I did not know where to start at all,
but after some time it got easier and easier. I learned that to edit
different things in my project I had to create different layers, and
the way I created each layer was by right clicking and then creating
a new layer. I also used the polygon lasso tool a lot, that helped me
make thinks look better and more professional.

6. Survey
Monkey
While I was working with my market
research I used the webpage Survey
Monkey to make a questionnaire
about my audience. I did not know
how to do this, but it was easy and a
good way to get a lot of responses in a
short amount of time.
7. InDesign
Adobe InDesign is a software which can be used to
create works such as posters, flyers, brochures,
magazines, newspapers and books. In this case I used
InDesign to make a double page spread to my magazine. I
learned how to use the programme, and how to make
the different columns and how to make a drop capital in
the beginning of the article.
