While initially lacking confidence with Photoshop, the author's skills and confidence with photo editing in Photoshop developed during the construction process. The author feels they learned a lot about technologies by using Photoshop to construct the magazine product.

1. 6. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
Throughout the process of constructing this product, I’ve learned a lot about the use of
Photoshop. I had not had much experience with Photoshop before constructing this
product, other that when constructing my Preliminary task. This meant that I lacked
confidence with the use of Photoshop, which I feel is evident within my construction.
However, whilst constructing my product, my confidence with using Photoshop developed
along with my photo editing skills. I learned a lot more about the varying features of
Photoshop and how I could use these features to edit my images for my magazine. For
example, I learned how to make images black and white, which was something that I didn’t
know how to do before constructing this product. In addition to this, I learned how to
remove the background from an image, which I did with the main image on my front cover,
in order to instead place the image onto a plain background to inspire a minimalistic effect
which I received the inspiration for from “Rocksound” magazine during my research.
Therefore, I feel like I learnt quite a lot about technologies during the construction of my
product because Photoshop was what I used to construct my magazine and I feel as though
my skills with this software have developed since the beginning of constructing my product.
