The document discusses the technologies the author used to construct their music magazine project. They used Photoshop extensively for designing the front cover and manipulating photos. They also used InDesign for page layouts like the contents page and spreads, learning how to use it more after a workshop. Prezi was used to present work in an interactive way, while Scribd and Blogger allowed uploading work to blogs and sharing it online.

1. What have you learnt about technologies in the
process of constructing this product?

2. I used Photoshop a lot during the construction of
my magazine. When I started my music magazine
had a very basic understanding of Photoshop that I
enquired from the college magazine task. This
helped a bit but as I made my music magazine I
found out more things you could do on Photoshop,
which helped to make my magazine better.
I mostly used Photoshop to construct my front
cover. However I did also use Photoshop to
manipulate photos for my contents page and
double page spread.

3. I used InDesign a lot as well, I mostly used
InDesign for my contents page and double
page spread. I had no knowledge of InDesign
before I started making my music magazine.
However, we had a workshop on InDesign and
after that I was a lot more confident on it.
InDesign was very useful for page layout and
making text look professional e.g. drop caps
and text wrapping round pictures and pull
quotes.

4. Prezi I really liked for presenting the work I have
done. It is a fun and interesting way of presenting.
It isn’t limiting in the fact you can upload pictures
videos and text. To make some of my prezis more
interesting I even put a background some on it in
the music genre of my music magazine (house
music).

5. Scribd was a way I uploaded work onto my blog
when I first started media. It isn’t and
interesting way but it did work. And it meant I
could write a piece of work on word instead of
putting it straight on my blog, which was
sometimes easier.

6. Blogger was the way I handed work I, I uploaded
it to blogger. Since the beginning of the year I
have been using blogger so no I feel like I am
pretty strong on using it. Blogger is a new
technology I have started using this year, before I
started media I hadn’t even heard of it so this is
definitely a skill I have developed this year.
