2. Throughout the constructing of my product I used blogger to present all the
work that I have created. From blogger I have learnt many different things
about blogger and how to create and insert different documents.
One of the first thing in which I was able to do on blogger was to insert all
my work including my magazine by saving it as an image and then inserting
it onto blogger on a new post. Another useful part of blogger as technology
is that I was also able to add videos onto blogger which where embed from
YouTube. Following this on blogger it also allowed me to insert prezi’s and
slide share documents. However although blogger has been useful
throughout the construction of my product it has also negative aspects
including the time in which it takes to create new posts.
Blogger has benefitted the production process of my product by allowing
me to create detailed posts on each step that has been take to allow me
to create a professional product as well as being a way to organise my
work and keep track of the steps.

3. Another software that I used for the construction of my product was Adobe
Photoshop. Photoshop had many different features in which I was able to
use to help create a professional product.
One of the many benefits that Adobe Photoshop has had to my product is
that the many different tools which I learnt how to use to then be able to
create many different effects. One of the many effects that Photoshop
allowed me to do was change images into black and white to help create
a professional image to add to my magazine. Another tool that I used on
Photoshop was being able to edit the background of image which I was
able to do to change my main image onto a white background to help
add a more professional look to the image of my magazine. However like
many other software’s Adobe Photoshop is very time consuming and can
take a while to create a product.
The use of Adobe Photoshop definitely benefitted my product as it helped
me to create a front cover for my magazine which looked professional like
many of the magazines I had researched into.

4. Another piece of technology which I used throughout the constriction of
product was the internet which has been used throughout the whole
product.
The internet has had many different benefits to my product especially
throughout the research stage as it allowed me to research into similar
products which are already on the market and the companies behind the
magazines. This was a very useful part of technology as it allowed me to
not only research into the industry but also use other technology which
could be only accessed through the internet such as: blogger, prezi and go
animate. This was very beneficial to the construction of my product as
without the internet I would not have been able to use different
technologies to create, present and organise my work.
Overall the use of the internet has had a very large impact on the
construction of my work as it allowed me to present and organise my work
visually through different formats.

5. Another piece of software that I used throughout the construction was
InDesign by Adobe. InDesign had many different tools and features which
allowed me to create a professional contents page and double page
spread.
InDesign had many different benefits to the construction of my product.
One of the main benefits I had towards my products was the guidelines that
where able to be used to provide the same outlines and size on both the
contents page and double page spread. This was very beneficial towards
my product as it allowed me to create boxes the same size by using the
guidelines as well as placing images in line with relevant boxes or text.
However a negative aspect of InDesign is that when images are placed
onto the page they appear blurred. From InDesign I learnt how to use the
different tools and what they where for so that I was able use them to my
advantage to create a professional looking magazine.
Overall InDesign benefited the construction of my product as it allowed me
to create a professional looking contents page and double page spread
similar to those of MOJO.

6. Another piece of technology that I used for the construction of my music
magazine was a digital SLR camera which allowed me to create
professional images to be used throughout my magazine.
The digital SLR camera was very beneficial to my product when taking the
images as it provided professional images that I was then able to go and
edit to be used as the main images for the front cover, contents page and
double page spread of my magazine. I have learnt from this technology
how to use it to create the best images possible as well as how to use the
digital SLR camera in general.
Overall the digital SLR has definitely benefitted the construction of my
product in many ways as not only did it allow my magazine to look
professional like real

7. Prezi was another part of technology that benefited the process of
constructing my product. Prezi is an online site which allows you to create
and present work through a path.
One of the main benefits that prezi has had to the construction of my
product as it has allowed me to present any of the research that I gathered
throughout textual research in a visual format. From this technology I have
learnt how to edit a path that flows around information that I am wanting
to present. Although I have learnt this from prezi it has one disadvantage
that is it is very time consuming to create and then edit the path. Another
benefit from prezi is that it is able to put in blogger through copying the
embed code into blogger, this is another skill I have learnt from this
technology.
Overall from prezi I have learnt many different presenting skills as well as
being able to organise information through which prezi which has then
gone on to benefit the construction of my product.

8. Another technology that I used as part of the construction of my product
was slideshare which was an online site which allowed PowerPoint's to be
uploaded.
The biggest benefit that slideshare had to product was that it allowed
PowerPoint's that I had create to be uploaded to then be put into blogger
through the embed code. This was very useful and beneficial towards my
construction as it allowed information that I had put together in a
presentation to be presented with the rest of my work on blogger. From the
use of slideshare as technology I learnt how to upload a PowerPoint onto
slideshare. Another positive part of using slideshare was that I was quick and
very simple to upload a PowerPoint to then be put onto blogger.
Overall slideshare has be very useful I have learnt many things from
slideshare to help it benefit the construction of my product.

9. Another piece of technology I used for the construction of my product was
pixton. This allowed me to create a comic strip as part of my evaluation.
One of the main benefits of pixton to the construction of my product is that
it allowed me to pick up new skills as it was a piece of technology which I
had never used before and was very quick and simple to get used to and
then create comic strips which are part of the visual representation
throughout the construction of my work. By using this it also allowed me to
try out new and different ways in presenting work and getting the point
being told across in different formats.
Overall pixton was very good in being able to create work in a different
presentation that I had not used before as well as pick up new skills through
this technology.

10. Another piece of technology I used for the construction of my product was
go animate. This was another piece of technology that I had never used
before.
One of the benefits of using go animate to help with the construction of my
magazine was that it allowed videos to be created quickly by typing in
what you want the character to say this was another benefit to my product
as it allowed to try out another format of technology to be able to present
my work. Another benefit of using go animate is that it allowed me to pick
up new skills and how to use the technology to be able to present work and
like pixton it was very simple and quick to be able to use.
Overall the use of go animate has definitely benefited the construction of
my product as it allowed once again to try different forms of technology to
present my work.

11. A final part of technology that I was able to use for the construction of my
product was YouTube. The use of YouTube had many advantages.
One of the many benefits that YouTube has had to the construction of my
product is that it allowed me to upload a video created to then be put into
blogger. From this technology I have learnt skills of how to uploaded a
video onto YouTube to then copy the embed code in blogger. Another
benefit of YouTube is that it is very quick and efficient regarding the
uploading of videos. Another benefit of YouTube to the construction of my
product is that in my evaluation it allowed me to use a different form of
technology.
Overall I found using YouTube as part of technology was very useful and it
allowed me to learn new skills from YouTube regarding the uploading of
videos and being able to then publish this on blogger.

12. In conclusion the use of many different technologies throughout the
construction of my product has allowed to pick up many different skills from
using a wide range of software and pieces of technology.
The use of these different technologies throughout my work has also
allowed my blog to have many different forms of posts ranging from simple
posts to videos to PowerPoint's which has helped to benefit my work visually.
The use of all these different pieces of technologies also allowed me to
eventually create a final product that was inline with professional texts that I
had research via the internet as part of the technology I used.
Finally I was able to use this wide range of technology through the use of
the iMacs which made the access to different pieces of software much
easier. The use of the iMacs also allowed to pick up many different skills.
