The document discusses the digital technologies used to create a magazine media product. Photoshop was used to edit images and design features for the magazine cover and pages. Quark was used to layout the double page spread and contents page, allowing layers of text and images. High-quality cameras took professional quality photos for printing clearly without pixelation. Blogger allowed continuous editing and adding of work for assessment, acting as a checklist.

3. Photoshop
For my magazine I used Photoshop to make my front cover and edit all of my
images. I also used it for creating any design features on the magazine, because it
has a vast amount of tools to choose from.
This is the masthead for my title page. For this I used Photoshop, it was a simple
font (impact) but I added the union jack to the background. To do this I chose
‘No fill’ and ‘Stroke’ on the ‘Blending options’ tab. After doing this I then had a
see through title and placed a union jack behind the title, and on a lower layer. I
then used the ‘eye dropper’ tool to get the exact colours of the union jack and
filled in any gaps in the title so it looked perfect.

not as many tools on quark as on
Photoshop, so some things were
limited but otherwise worked very
well for the contents page and
double page spread.

5. Cameras
For the images for my magazine we used extremely high quality SLR cameras that
allowed us to take amazing photos, that would fit our pages and not become
pixelated being stretched out of size and shape.
I used this photo because he is

this does take away the more
personal touch of the person
looking into the camera but it
looks slightly more artistic.
This photo was great photo with the
amazing camera as the high
resolution captured all of the
colours in the background,

6. Blogger.com
To Present all of our work for marking we used a blog, which we could
continuously add work too and edit it if we needed to. We could also add
different blogs in at different times to make sure that the work actually fit into
when it should have. This was also a good tool as we could use it as a checklist
for the work we had and hadn't done yet
