1. Evaluation: Question 6
What have you learnt about
technologies from the process of
constructing this product?

2. Blogspot
• I have been using www.blogspot.com to organize my
work, and it has become very useful to me because it
shows my progression clearly.
• I have learnt to upload documents from different
software such as www.Prezi.com, Microsoft Word and
Powerpoint.
• This piece of technology shows evidence of my
progression in which my teacher is able to record my
work.
• Blogspot is easy to access and I can use it at home and
keep adding to my work, I found it very helpful.

3. Prezi
• I have been using www.prezi.com to portray my work
in a different way.
• I found this a good way to compare my magazine to a
professional magazine because it was spacious and
easy to show the contrast between the two in mini
spider diagrams.
• I learnt how to create paths in order to arrange my text
in the correct order.
• I also learnt how to export pictures onto my prezi.
• Once I had created a Prezi, I was also able to use the
knowledge that I had used from www.Blogspot.com to
upload my Prezi onto my blog.

4. Indesign
• I used Indesign to create my magazine. I used
it to arrange my front cover, contents page
and double page spread in order for when I
needed to print out.
• This helped me to print my magazine out in
the correct size when I needed to hand it in to
the teacher.
• I also used it to upload my pictures from
Photoshop.

5. Photoshop
• Adobe Photoshop is a professional software used to
edit photos. This was very useful to me because I was
able to edit my photos effectively which made them
look professional.
• I did struggle at first with adjusting to this
software, because I had never used it before.
However, I was able to ask people how to do certain
things in order to help me create my product.
• I learnt how to change the colours of my images to
make them stand out more.
• I learnt how to convert my images into JPEGs to allow
me to upload the pictures into www.blogspot.com

6. Internet
• I used the internet a lot whilst creating my
product.
• I used it to research professional magazines to get
ideas from the codes and conventions used.
• The internet also allowed me to access
www.prezi.com and www.blogspot.com.
• Even though we were not allowed to use images
from the internet, it still allowed me to get ideas
in the shapes I would create on photoshop.

7. Youtube
• Youtube has helped me to create my media
product because I used it to help me find out
the social group my magazine’s genre of music
is aimed at.
• I was also able to use it to find out the codes
and conventions of professional magazines in
order for me to create a professional product.

8. Camera
• It was essential that I used this type of
hardware in order to create my product.
• I learnt how to change the lighting properties
on the camera so I could capture images in
better qualities.
• I used a tripod in order to keep the camera
steady, so that it would get a clear shot of my
model.

9. Mobile Phone
• At first when I was researching the props and
costumes for my model I used an iphone because
at the time I didn’t have a camera.
• This helped me to create a step by step plan to
show the makeup my model will be wearing.
• I was then able to send my pictures to the
computer using a USB to convert the images.
• The images I had taken were then uploaded to
www.blogspot.com

10. Studio
• The studio helped me to create a professional
image of my model that was featured on the
front cover of my magazine.
• It enhanced my product because I was able to
change the lighting and make my model
sophisticated.
• The studio was easy to access because it is in
college.
