Critical Reflection 4 by Dan Menear

1. How did you integrate
technologies, software,
hardware and online in this
project?

2. For the making of my
magazine I used Adobe
Indesign. It was the only
program used for the
structure of my magazine
‘FRONTSIDE’. It was very
important in structuring the
magazine.
Indesign

3. Photoshop
I used the software
photoshop, which helped
me to do some image
manipulation and to
integrate certain images
into my magazine.

4. Blogger
Blogger is where all my research for my
magazine was posted. My post
consisted of my research of magazines
like the codes and conventions of them.
And also the planning of my own
magazine, so the flat plans of the front
cover, the contents page and the
double page spread. It was a key part
of online as it shows my process and
development when making my
magazine.

5. Dafont
Dafont was what I used to
select the different fonts I
needed for my magazine.
Its a really helpful tool as it
gives you a wide selection
of fonts to choose from so
you can explore which ones
work best for you.

6. Cameras
For my magazine I need to
take photos for the front cover,
the contents page and the
double page spread. I used a
range of different cameras to
do so. I used a Lumix GF3
digital camera, a Nikon 35mm
film camera and my iPhone 5e
camera.

7. Technologys
As for the technologies I used to
make my magazine were a
scanner to scan the photos of my
skateboarder into the computer
and the flat plans that I drew up
for my magazine. Also a memory
stick to place the the photos I
took on the digital camera on the
computer and in to Indesign

8. I included technologies, software,
hardware and online in all aspects
of my project. Without them none of
it would be possible
