1. #4) What have you learnt about technology while making your magazine?
After
The first example of a technology that I used to
complete and perfect my magazine was Adobe
Photoshop. This allowed me to polish off and
define any picture that I took so it looks perfect.
This could have been as easy as increasing the
brightness to add life or something a bit more
technical such as using the clone stamp to
remove unwanted parts of the picture that
disrupt the photo.

This can be seen in the two images to the left.
The first picture was the original that I took when
doing the photo-shoot. I didn’t like the look of
how the picture was presented but I did like the
picture its self and I wanted to use it for the
magazine. By using to 2 styles that I had learnt I
was able to heighten the brightness to add more
freshness and so it was visible to see the artist,
his emotion and the guitar its self. However I did
still have to remove the shelf that was in the way
whilst taking the shoot. So to do this is used the
clone stamp tool on Photoshop and whipped the
shelf out of the way and help it appear that it was
just a continuation of the dark wall. These both
helped me get my picture perfect so I was able
to use it in the magazine.

2. Another technology that I
have used in my magazine
was Adobe InDesign. This is
used by most of the editing
teams on most of the recent
magazines that we see on the
shelf's today. It is used to give
me the outline of where I want
the tools on my page. It helps
me design the magazine the
way I want it, whilst giving me
a helping hand by providing
me boarders and outlines.
This is an example here of the outlines from
InDesign. It lets me know where everything
is set and it helps me move it around to the
best place.

3. Another technology
would be blogger.
Blogger has helped me
through the whole
course of this
magazine. It allowed
me to set a diary to
keep me organised
through the design and
research of my
magazine. Without
blogger it would have
been very difficult to
keep a plan of my
research to then
actually make a
magazine that it to
standard of the British
selves. That’s what I
aimed to do.
