The document discusses what the creator has learned about technologies from constructing a music magazine. Photoshop enabled the creator to learn new editing tools and techniques that helped design the magazine's front cover and photos. Conducting research on other indie magazines helped with planning the layout, features, pricing, and release schedule. Taking test photos with a Canon camera allowed the creator to include professional-quality photos without further photo shoots. Managing time was a challenge initially but rearranging models' schedules allowed the work to progress as planned.

technologies from the process of
constructing this product?

2. RESEARCH & PLANNING
This has benefited greatly when I was doing my preliminary task. The first step
of creating my real music magazine I carried out a planning sheet, which help
me to plan ever part of Mise en scene, lighting techniques, use of colour, make
up and location. The process of comparing two magazines from indie
magazines helped my planning process of how I will structure the layout of
my music magazine.
I focused on one magazine to make my front cover which I shouldn’t have
done, only focused on the layout of the front cover magazine. Going to
Photoshop lessons help me to implement my front cover using the Photoshop
techniques. During the planning I first carried out a practise school magazine
which helped to make my music magazine as I used way more Photoshop
techniques compared to my school magazine.

7. RESEARCH THAT HELPED TO
STRUCTURE
Researching about other indie magazine helped me to know
more knowledge about what features a music magazine
contain. Finding out how many they sell for each issue will
help me to decide what price would be suitable for my target
audience & lastly finding out how often they come out is very
important as it helped me to organise what sort of things to
put on my contents page and double page spread.

10. PHOTO TESTING
Photoshop enabled me to learn how to use different
tools to do various techniques which were new to me,
Photoshop also helped me to edit my pictures
effectively.
Canon enabled me to take professional
photos which helped when making my
magazine as I didn’t have to update.

11. TIME MANAGEMENT
The time management for my preliminary task was a minor problem. The
models intended to be used for my photo shoots originally were unable to
fulfil this as our free time in and outside college differed greatly. I overcame
this by rearranging my models who were free when I was which allowed me to
carry on with the production of my products
Before the production of my coursework, I made sure beforehand the models
I assigned could fulfil my requests which made my time management much
easier.
