The document discusses various tools used in constructing a product including the brush tool for creating a masthead when a custom font could not be used, lasso tools for selecting objects with the magnetic lasso being most useful, and type tools for creating all text except the masthead. It also mentions using the color sample tool to maintain consistency with three house colors, the crop tool for sizing images and removing undesired parts, and shape tools for planning layouts and creating boxes for text and image backgrounds.

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

2. Some of the tools used
The brush tool was used when creating the masthead. A custom font
could not be used due to system restrictions so I created my own in
photoshop in the form of an image.
Lasso tools were used when selecting things within an image. The
magnetic lasso tool was the most useful in production as it is simpler
and more accurate as it automatically finds the edges of objects.
The type tools were used throughout the process to create all text apart
from the masthead. This was an important tool in the process and was
used regularly in the production

3. The colour sample tool was used throughout the production to keep the
house style down to the exact same 3 colours. It was also helpful when
finding suitable colours from the cover image.
The crop tool was important when making images a suitable size to fit the
spaces where they were needed. It also came in handy when some images
had undesired parts of the photo.
The shape creating tools were useful when planning the layout of the
magazine and during production to create boxes for text and the backing of
images
