The document discusses the technologies used during the different stages of constructing a coursework product for AS Media. It includes a table to log the software, hardware, and online tools used, as well as their specific features. During research and planning, websites like Rolling Stone and Google Images provided inspiration. Blogger allowed viewing other students' blogs. Microsoft Word and Photoshop were key software for production. A camera was also used. For post-production, SlideShare enabled uploading work to showcase the development process. Overall, digital technologies helped capture ideas and complete the project, though some skills like Photoshop could still be improved.

On this website, I analy sed the music
section which shows rev iews, ideas and
examples of music magazines and
publication which I could harbour ideas
f rom in order to incorporate them into my
magazine and get ideas f rom.
This website allowed me to capture ideas and thoughts of how my publication
should roughly look in comparison to prof essionally done magazines and
media publications. I took ideas f rom the articles I saw on this website and
incorporated some of them into my own giv ing my work a more prof essional
and neater touch
Personally I think the ideas that I
got f rom the website helped me
greatly into shaping and planning
roughly what my production would
be and look like
https://images.google
.com/?gws_rd=ssl
I used Google images in order to get an
idea and inspiration on what I would
roughly base my magazine on by looking
at other articles similar to mine
By looking at Google images I looked at v arious other publications similar to
the one I was going to create and got ideas f rom to get an idea of what mine
should look like. Although I f ound it f airly easy to f ind front cover articles,
f inding double page spreads and f eature pages were slightly harder and were
less apparent.
I think that by looking at Google
images I got a good amount of
ideas to transf er to my own
publication to make it look more
prof essional and ef f ective

In blogger I v iewed other people’s blog
also doing AS media to see what they did
and v iew their ideas and publication
I v iewed other AS Media publications on the blog to see how other people
approached their work helping me dev elop mine as I was able to see common
mistakes which people made helping me to av oid them and common strengths
and weaknesses seen throughout dif f erent blogs and pieces of work
I think that by v iewing this website
it contributed to my peice and
helped me add and use the more
successf ul work criterias

AS Microsoft Word I used ‘Page lay out’ in Microsof t Word to
help me div ide my f eature article into
columns to add to my double page spread
It helped me write essay s, rev iews, articles and to analy se v arious media
publications f or my blog
Yes it was successf ul as without it I
wouldn’t of been able to produce
the documents and article f or my
blog
-I think that I need to
develop my
Photoshop skills
more extensively
-I
Photoshop In Photoshop I used the ‘Magic Wand’
tool which allowed me to select an image
and crop it and then paste it onto another
selected background of my choice
This tool helped me greatly when producing my work as without it I wouldn’t of
been able to cut and paste my artists’ picture onto the backgrounds f or my
v arious pages on my f ront cov er, f eature article and double page spread.
Photoshop was essential f or all my
productions as without it I wouldn’t
of been able to produce my work
Camera I adjusted the lens on the camera in order
to use the zoom f ocus tool allowing me to
get the correct f rame size f or my picture
By using the f ocus on the lens on the camera let me take the desired pictures
f or my article in the correct sty le, size and colour
The camera was also an essential
piece of equipment as without this I
wouldn’t of been able to produce
my work
