The document discusses what the author learned about technologies from constructing a magazine product. The author learned how to edit images in Photoshop, including changing saturation, contrast, and cropping. The author also learned how to use the Magnetic Lasso Tool to cut images out of their backgrounds. In InDesign, the author learned how to add and format text boxes, columns, banners, and drop caps, as well as add strokes, rotate and layer objects. The author concluded they learned the most about InDesign since it was a new program for them to use.

2. 6. What have you learnt about technologies from the
process of constructing this product?
The first thing I learnt on Photoshop was
how to edit an image to change the
saturation, contrast or the shadow and make
it brighter or darker so that it would fit into
the background of my magazine and the
overall page and to make the image look
more appropriate and sharper. I did this with
all of my images so that they looked different
from how they looked when I took them. I
also cropped all of my images so that the
main focus of my magazine was the person
or subject, not the background.

3. 6. What have you learnt about technologies from
the process of constructing this product?
I also learnt how to cut an image
out from it’s background using the
Magnetic LassoTool on Photoshop.
This meant that some of my images
could be clearer and so that I could
layer them on top of a different
coloured background. Previously I
had used the MagicWand tool, but
I found the Magnetic Lasso to be
much more accurate when splitting
the image from it’s background.

4. 6. What have you learnt about technologies from
the process of constructing this product?
I learnt how to tilt boxes and
images so that they were
more interesting for the
audience and how to add a
stroke or shadow to them so
that they had a different effect
on the page.

5. 6. What have you learnt about technologies from
the process of constructing this product?
The main technologies that I learnt were
from In Design, as I had never used that
programme before yet I had used
Photoshop many times.Therefore when I
started using In Design there was a lot of
features that I needed to know about
before creating my double page spread.
First, I learnt how to add a coloured box
that I could use as a banner for my title, as
well as learning how to rotate them and
send them backwards so that I could place
them behind images on the page.

6. 6. What have you learnt about technologies from
the process of constructing this product?
I learnt how to place texts
into columns and add drop
capitals to make the writing
look professional and as close
to a real magazine as possible.
I also learnt how to add
strokes on In Design to texts
so that they stand out from
the background.

7. 6. What have you learnt about technologies from
the process of constructing this product?
I learnt that that to have
a background I would
have to add a shape to
the background and so I
experimented with
different colours that I
could use to go behind
the image and part of the
title and eventually
decided on black.

8. 6. What have you learnt about technologies from
the process of constructing this product?
I learnt how to add an image
as the background of my
texts and to change it into
black and white and make it
slightly transparent, so that it
looked interesting but also
clear enough that the text
can be seen and read easily.
