The document discusses the learning experience of creating a magazine using desktop publishing software and photography skills. The author learned techniques in DTP, photography using Photoshop, and layout using QuarkXPress that allowed them to take on roles as an editor, photographer, proofreader, sub-editor, and graphic designer to independently produce a professional magazine.

2. From the process of constructing this product I have learnt many
of techniques and a lot about DTP(desktop publishing) and
that it is possible for anyone to create a professional
magazine with the right technology from a computer, the
right software and a camera to take the pictures with.
I also learnt that this gives the audience access to the means of
production.
Throughout this process I learnt how to work as an
-editor
-photographer
-proof reader
-sub editor
-graphic designer
I done all this multiskilling because convergence has enabled
me do it.

3. All of my pictures on my magazine I have taken myself using the
cameras provided in school. I learnt many effects and techniques
using Photoshop for my front cover , I had came across Photoshop
in my previous years but I was still a bit unsure how to use all the
effects at the beginning however now I feel very confident using it
and feel like I know about all the techniques that can be used.
Creating my contents page and double page spread I used the
programme QuarkXPress. I had never used this before and took
awhile getting used to all the buttons but after a few weeks i learnt
all the techniques and found it very easy to use to create my front
covers.
