The document discusses various roles the author took on in creating a media product, including proofreader, journalist, layout editor, graphics editor, and photographer. As a proofreader, the easiest role was to scan the work for spelling errors. The hardest role was journalist, which required finding and interviewing a band as well as crafting good questions. Photographer was also tricky to ensure good images that could be used on the contents page and front cover. Blogger was used to keep track of work and research, and present the project. Adobe Photoshop was crucial to edit images and design the front cover. Quark Xpress helped with the contents page and double page spread layout once the author learned how to use it.
