me to. Although at the beginning of the project I had a difficult time getting use to the program, I
very quickly learnt how to use a number of advanced tools that helped me make a professional
looking magazine.
Blogger: Bloggerwas used for me to upload my work online so that both me and my teacher could
gain quick access to it easily. Additionally, I was able to gain feedback from classmates and my
teachers.
Scribd/SlideShare: These were online applications that I used as a way to upload any work online
which I created on Word and PowerPoint. From Scribd/SlideShare I could then embed any of this
work onto my blog easily.

Google Chrome: I used Google Chrome as my primary web browser as a way to conduct any
necessary research for my magazine as well as gain access to other sites that I used for my project
(Blogger, SlideShare).
Microsoft Office: I used both Microsoft Word and PowerPoint to complete some tasks. These
programs are easy and efficient to use as well as very reliable. For example I created my Mood
board using PowerPoint. Before being put on Photoshop, my Magazine’s article was originally
written on Word.
