1. What have you learnt about
technologies from the process of
constructing this product?
What I have learnt from technologies
from constructing this product is how
important programs such as Photoshop
and survey monkey is in terms of
creating a magazine and the importance
to know how to use these programs to
create a media product.

2. Which technologies have you used for your research,
planning, production and evaluation
stages of your product?

3. research
• The technologies I have used to do my
research is survey monkey the reason why I
have used this because then I can get
thoughts and opinions on how my magazine
should look and what the forms and
conventions should contain such as the title
for the masthead.

4. planning
• The technologies I have used do my planning
is publisher the reason why I used publisher is
to see what my magazine layout is going to
look like. It has helped because then I have a
rough idea where conventions such as cover
lines and the masthead.

5. production
• The technologies I used for my production are
Publisher, Photoshop, Fireworks and a Camera. I used publisher because
it’s the program that I used to put my magazine on and is useful for me to
input text and edit the format of text. I used Photoshop to be able to edit
the magazine features such as the masthead and the image in order to
make improvements to it for example the masthead has been improved
because as you can see from the pictures above the colour has been
changed and there has been a picture edited with the masthead. I have
used fireworks to edit some of the features I couldn't do on Photoshop so
far example if I couldn't use the magic wand tool on Photoshop. I used the
camera in able to take a picture so I can an image on my front cover.

6. evaluation
• The technologies I have used to do my evaluation are
PowerPoint, Microsoft
Word, Blogger, Slideshare, creazaeducation and a Voice
recorder.
• I used slideshare in able to import a PowerPoint slide into a
online presentation so people can view it online.
• I used a voice recorder in able to record peoples voice and
get their opinions on my project and is more effective as it
is more creative.
• I used creazaeducation to be able to edit my voice
recordings such as trimming it, it also allowed me to input
images and turn it into a movie.

7. Which new skills have you developed
and what skills have you improved?
• The skills I have learnt and developed is Photoshop I
had little knowledge on using Photoshop but I know
how to use the program better to do edits such as the
magic wand tool, add colour to text, edit picture to
make the character darker or lighter. I have also
developed my knowledge on how to take better
pictures with a camera such as camera angles, camera
shots, mis en scene and how to take the actual picture.
You can say I learnt to be able to use programs such as
survey monkey and creazeeducation in order to
improve my evaluation and for research.

8. If you had to make another music magazine, what
would help you further develop your use of
technology?
• I think I can still improve on my knowledge on
programs such as Photoshop as it would help
me make my magazine look better. I could also
improve on using tools such as the gradient
tool so I can edit the features on my magazine.
I could also look at more magazines to have a
better look on how they look like. It would
also be useful to know more programs I could
use to help me create my magazine.
