1. What have you learnt about
technologies from the process
of constructing this product?
2. To construct my magazine I
used Photoshop and InDesign
I used prezi, slideshare and
YouTube to upload my
work on to my blog as well
as other things like word
and PowerPoint.
3. For me using Photoshop was new territory. Although I
had used it briefly in the past it was completely for a
different purpose. Without Photoshop I would not
have been able to create my magazine to the standard
it is at. Although I had some help on how to use it the
majority of what I did was through trial and error and
experimenting with the different tools.
Not only did I use Photoshop to
construct my front cover and
contents page, I also used it to edit
my photos. If I had not edited my
images it would have created a
completely different tone to my
magazine.
4. Another new program I was introduced to during this work was
InDesign. I had never come across InDesign before so this was
completely a new thing for me. It has helped my to construct my
double page spread. Without InDesign I would not have been able
to get the layout that I wanted for my magazine. It has also helped
me with little details to add to the realism of my magazine such as
the S at the start of the article being bigger but inline with the text.
5. Slideshare and prezi have both enabled me to
upload my work onto my blog in different and
more interesting ways. Without them it
would just be filled with big chunks of
writing. Before this work I had never heard of
either of them however now feel confident to
used them both.
