1. How did you use media technologies in the
construction and research, planning and
evaluation stages?

2. For the A2 Media coursework we had to use a range of
different software products including
Photoshop, Indesign, Microsoft word and Powerpoint, Final
Cut Pro, Garageband and then different websites such as
Facebook, Blogger, Youtube, Prezi and Google
Software we used

3. I used Indesign to produce the double page spread
because you can set up the column grids which
help make the text more presentable and
professional. Also it helped getting all of the text
on the same line horizontally through the two
pages.
When using Indesign there where several
problems that I encountered. The first one
was, when I re-opened Indesign after the first
time, I could not change anything on the page
which meant that the smaller picture of the phone
was slightly overlapping the text in the middle
column. I tried for some time to fix this problem
but in the end gave up as I needed to get on with
the rest of the double page.
There where also some minor problems which set
me back slightly, for example when I imported the
background image I accidently kept cropping it
instead of making it smaller. Also there was a minor problem with changing the text colour so it would stand out from
the background but eventually I fixed this problem and decided to have the text white because it would stand out best.
