1. I have learnt about many technologies from the
process of constructing this product as I used
the software ‘Adobe InDesign’. I have used
many skills from using this software such as;
working in layers as this helped me organise
my three different pages, also by using layers I
then was able to place various aspects of my
magazine on top of one another this is a huge
importance as this skill came in very handy. I
also used the skill of working with text as it can
be developed in many ways for example it can
be stretched, or positioned in various way such
as arched. I also used the skill of effects on text
as you can see to the right some print screens
of text from my magazine, they consist of drop
shadows and strokes. From using these effects
makes such a big difference to how they appeal
towards the audience. Looking back at the
prelim task I feel that I have gained a much
wider understanding of the use of ‘Adobe
InDesign’ as I feel that I have developed more
skills from the process of designing my final
production. I also feel that I have picked up key
code and conventions of the genre of my music
magazine through my research of existing
magazines of the same genre which helped
influence me for my final production.

What have you learnt
about technologies?

2. Technologies...
I have used many technologies when using blogger. I have used many different ways to present my work. I used the following; Prezi,
slideshare and youtube. By using these I gained a wider understanding of how I can present my work in many ways.

3. Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have
learned in the progression from it to the full product?
Looking back at the prelim task to my final production now is a great improvement.
As before for my prelim task I did not manage my time very well, until I was
fulfilled to have a complete professional looking school magazine. Therefore for
the start of the main task I created a schedule to which I would follow so I would
have everything completed at the correct time.
When creating the prelim task I didn’t feel as highly skilled when using ‘Adobe
Indesign’ as I was new to this software. However from having experience using
the software due to the prelim task I was able to adapt my skills to a higher level
when creating the main task. This is a huge benefit as I would have been very
clueless and would not of produced my final productions at there strongest.
Looking back at my prelim task research I felt that there wasn’t enough support to
back up my final production therefore when completing the research for the main
task I made sure that I had a wide range of sources to influence me for my final
production.

4. On the left is my contents page from my prelim task where as on the right is my contents page for the
main task. As you can see there is a huge difference between the two as from the prelim task I have
learnt to use many more code and conventions to apply in the final production. It provides the final
outcome to look more professional and realistic by using the correct code and conventions.
