Slideshare and Survey Monkey were unfamiliar technologies that helped with uploading presentations and gathering feedback through online questionnaires. Photoshop was used to design magazine pages, while learning InDesign as well. Blogging on Blogger helped document the learning process and changed how knowledge was gained. Finally, the Canon 600D camera was initially difficult to use but its various buttons and functions were gradually learned.

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

2. Slideshare
Slideshare was unfamilar to me and I hadn’t used it before, but it
definitely helped with this evaluation process in order to upload
my PowerPoint presentations onto the blog.

3. Survey Monkey
Another program which was completely new to me was Survey
Monkey. I used Survey Monkey to create an online
questionnaire/poll open to all, this was a good way of getting
feedback from our target audience and what they would like to
see in a music magazine.

4. Photoshop
I used Photoshop to design my magazine cover, contents page
and DPS so it was the core program out of them all. I did some
parts of the design on Adobe InDesign but found it easier to
make on Photoshop as I learnt my way around much more

5. Blogger
Blogger has helped me to express ideas, interests and thoughts
through a diary of what we’ve been learning and creating.
Blogging has changed how I’ve learnt and I think, personally, I
have benefited from it.

6. Canon 600 Camera
I also learnt how to use the Canon 600 Camera,
which is high-tech and difficult to use at the
start but I managed gradually and learnt all the
different buttons and what they do.
