3. Having used this before in previous years I found this most easiest out of all the
technologies. I enjoyed designing and being able to choose all the fonts and colours
so they were able to work well. What I liked about Photoshop was that you could
change the size, colour or spacing when you decided something would look better a
certain way this meant you could always go back to it to include the final touches
that gave it the extra wow factor. For example while producing my magazine front
cover there was a certain cover line that at first I had made it big then as time went
on and I started to change and add things to the front cover I realised that the very
first cover line I did was to big so I changed the size until it fitted to go with the front
cover. When using Photoshop I found changing the texture of a word difficult or
making a word or letter stand out by putting a shadow behind it. I did this by
selecting the tool which help you change the texture by moving it up and down this
is the same for making a word or letter stand out.

5. This was my first time using quark so I found it difficult at the beginning. After
getting use to using quark I found it very useful in many ways. One of the main
ways I found it useful was setting it out the 3 columns really helped me space
everything so that it became in line with one another and it all flowed. Also when
using quark it became really easy to import pictures and then scale the picture to
fit the box this meaning you didn’t have to fiddle around yourself trying to fit the
box. When using quark I found changing the colours and font type and size
difficult, this is because the colours had to match the front cover which I
completed on Photoshop and there was less range of colours to choose from so I
had to match it up closely and took a lot of time.
7. Having never used blogger before I found it difficult to get to grips with at first but
after using it most days to upload my media work onto it I soon found it easy. I
found this technology very useful because it was a fun, easy and interesting way to
upload and present work. I could access it anytime if I needed to write anything on
my blog using the schools computers, my laptop, phone or iPod.

9. I used prezi to present some of my work in different ways instead of just typing it
straight on my blog. Instead you design the layout, choose your colours and can
insert videos and pictures. I enjoyed being able to design and set out some of the
things using prezi because it was different compared to just typing it up and
looking boring. The only difficult thing was putting it onto your blog because it
took a lot of time to embed it in.

11. This like prezi is another way to present my work onto my blog without just typing
it up. You complete it using PowerPoint and then copying it to slideshare so you
can put a PowerPoint onto your blog.
13. This being the first time I have used an SLR camera after being showed how to use
it I was able to change the colour of the image, zoom in or out and use the flash. I
found getting the right lighting to be able to take my picture or change the colour.
