3. Last year when creating my AS magazine project; front
cover, contents page and double page spread, I also
used the Abode Photoshop programme. When creating
my products this year I feel as though I was more at
ease and had more control over the programme, overall
gaining a more positive experience. I feel as if I am now
able to use the programme along with its different aspect
and tools without any trouble. This resulted in me being
able to create a better and more professional looking
product,
Last year, I needed a lot of help in getting to learn
the basics of each of the tools. However, this year I was
able to go into it with a clear idea of how I would start.
This made the creating of my product a lot faster,
creating more opportunities to make amendments to the
final product before handing it in.
5. Last year, I also used the website
‘Blogger’ in the evaluation process of my
product. Due to the site being fairly basic
and self explanatory, I didn’t come across
any complications both this year and last
year. I feel as though I have been
successful in using this website and would
definitely consider using it again for future
projects etc. This year I not only used
‘Blogger’ in the evaluation stages, but also
in the research and planning stages of my
product.
7. Prezi is another online programme which I used
last year in the evaluation process. Although it
proved to be slightly difficult at first, I quickly
learnt the ropes and then used it in one of the
evaluation questions. I first started off using a
blank template which proved to be difficult. I
realised that I would have to edit my own path
which seemed to be a bit of a task. Therefore I
resulted in copying and pasting my work over to
an existing template, Doing this was every easy
and far less time consuming. The path was
already set and boxes were already drawn. I
would definitely consider using this website
again for future projects etc.
9. This online site is another piece of
technology which I used, in answering this
evaluation question. Originally created
using Microsoft PowerPoint, this site is a
great way to make these simple
PowerPoints look more professional. This
process was quick and simple and would
definitely recommend the website.
11. This is the final piece of online technology
which I used in my evaluation. Like a
video, Animoto also combines aspects of
PowerPoint. It is out together like a
PowerPoint, however presented like a
video. This is another easy way to create
an effortless presentation which is made
to look professional. I would definitely
consider using this piece of technology
again in future projects, as it is both quick
and easy to use and create great looking
pieces of work.
13. In the research and planning process, I
used the website ‘SurveyMonkey’ to
create a questionnaire for my audience
research. I found this site very easy and
basic to use, which also produced great
clear results in the form of tables and
graphs. These results enabled me to
clearly analyse my finding to help me
create a product to the best standard.
15. Digital Camera
When taking the pictures for my final tasks, I
used a digital camera. The camera that I
used enabled me to achieve good, clear
images which then impacted my final tasks,
making them look more professional.
Transferring the images from my camera to
the computer was also a quick and easy
process.
