The document discusses the technologies used and lessons learned during the process of creating a magazine project. It describes using Survey Monkey to conduct audience research, learning how to use Photoshop and various tools, uploading content to blogs, and relying on a memory stick and digital camera. While some aspects like surveys or research could have been done without technology, a memory stick, Photoshop, and camera were necessary to complete the project. Overall, technology made the process easier, quicker, and allowed a more professional final product, though there is a risk of losing work if technology fails.
18. I have learnt how to use Photoshop, as I had never used it before this project. I learnt how to use a variety of the tools effectively in order to create my final magazine. Some of the tools I used are; text tool, gradient, shape tool, free transform, curves, stroke, drop shadow, paint bucket tool and background eraser.

21. Blog- I could have presented my work on A3 paper in a folder.

23. Photoshop - If I didn’t use Photoshop my final magazine wouldn’t have looked as good and would have taken more time. It was a necessity in order to make my final magazine look as professional as possible.

25. Using Google as an internet search engine was much easier than finding information using books as this would have limited my sources and availability of the sources. It was simple to copy and paste images from the internet as that way I could get any that I wanted whereas if I were to get my images from magazines, my choices would be limited.
26. Using a blog was a much easier form or presenting my work than on A3 paper in a folder. If I went wrong I could go back and edit my posts whereas if it was on paper it would be much harder to change little bits of my work.
27. A digital camera is easy to use and allowed me to take multiple photos in which I could choose the ones I liked best. It meant I didn’t have to keep all the photos and if the photo went wrong it wouldn’t have been wasting a shot.
