- InDesign was the primary software used to layout and design the magazine pages. While initially difficult to learn, practice with a preliminary task helped the user become more comfortable with layers and page placement. - Photoshop was challenging due to the extensive editing options, but through experimentation the user grew more proficient in editing images and removing backgrounds. More practice was still needed to work faster. - Prezi was used to creatively present work, though the user had disliked it previously. With more experience, presentations could be made quicker in Prezi. - PowerPoint and SlideShare were also used for presentations. PowerPoint was preferred due to familiarity, though SlideShare uploading worked easily too with

2. InDesign is what I used most when creating
my magazine. I first used the software when
doing my primarily task which was helpful
when coming to do the real thing.At first I
found it hard to understand how the layers
worked and how to place things the way I
wanted to on the page. However, after
finishing my primarily task I felt more
confident with the software. I spent a lot of
time on InDesign to create all my pages. It was
very useful and an extremely effective way to
do it and after time the software got easier for
me to use.

3. Photoshop was the hardest software to use
for me.There were so many different ways in
which you could change the image that it all
become a little overwhelming. Over playing
with the software I began to feel more
comfortable with it. I edited all my images in
photoshop because it allowed me to remove
backgrounds and make my images better.
Although it made my photographs better, I did
find that everything I had no matter how small
or big tool a lot time so maybe more practice
was needed so I could pick up the pace.

4. I used prezi to display my work in a more
creative way. It's an alternative way of making
presentations and allowed me to do it in a
more attractive way. I had previously used
Prezi and not liked my experiences with it.
However, this time round I felt a lot more
comfortable with it and created presentations
a lot quicker which is why I used it for other
pieces of my work.

5. Although I liked Prezi a less time consuming
and just as effective way of doing my work
was through Microsoft PowerPoint. I proffered
this option as I had used it many times before
and was incredibly comfortable with make
presentations using the software. I had no
problems with this.
Along side this I used Slide Share which
allowed me to upload my presentations on
PowerPoint onto my blog. I found this really
good and even though I hadn't used the site
before I found it easy to get things done.

6. To capture my images I used my own Fujifilm
camera as I knew it would prosecute high
quality images which was vital when taking
my pictures for my magazine. Having a natural
interest in photography already I knew that it
was important to consider the background,
lighting and distance of my shots. Before
taking my images I had a rough idea of the
shots I wanted so I could create the right feel
to my magazine. I think all my images used in
my magazine were successful and what I
wanted to achieve.

7. I had never used Blogger before until starting
this task. I really like this software and it's even
encouraged me to have a blog for another
subject. For this topic it's been an easy way to
track my work step by step. I like the layout
and structure of the site. I also found it useful
as I could download the app version for free on
my phone and it was still just as easy to use
and allowed me to do more work on 'the
move'. Over all I really liked blogger as it have
me a structured layout and easy way to locate
and read my work.

8. When making my magazine I used a laptop
and the Internet for help with a lot of my work.
I used the laptop to create most of my
magazine and access the different software's
that I needed. I used the Internet mainly for
my research for my magazine and online
publications.
These two things have been vital for creating
my magazine and I am more than sure that I
will be using them again in the future.
