The document discusses the various technologies used to construct a music magazine product. It describes using a scanner to transfer hand-drawn layout ideas and images onto a blog. Publisher was used mainly for the contents page and double page layout. Photoshop skills from a prior task were applied, such as brightening and cropping photos. A digital camera took high-quality photos for editing and inclusion in the magazine. Blogging was pivotal for audience research, testing layouts, and receiving feedback. A poll helped choose a name by gauging multiple audience perspectives.

What have you learnt
about technologies from
the process of constructing Question 6
this product?

Scanner
 For my layout ideas I wanted to draw them by hand as I
thought it would be easier and quicker, therefore I needed to
transfer my ideas onto my blog using a scanner. I also used the
scanner to transfer images of the textual analysis. I found the
scanner easy to use as I had used it before. It was also helpful
as it didn’t take long.

Publisher
 Apart from blogger, publisher was the most used piece of
equipment.
 I used publisher mainly for the contents page as it made it easier
to line up the text to the photographs.
 I also used publisher for the double page, to line up the article. I
did this by adding 6 tables where I could fit the article. I also
added the introduction onto a purple background and lined the
text with it.

Photoshop
 I used the skills I learned from the preliminary task and put them
into this one.
 I learned how to brighten up photographs and crop them this is
what I mostly used photoshop for.
 I also learned how to a images on the internet on to your
magazine.

Digital camera
 For the photo-shoot I used a high- quality camera to take good
images for the magazine.
 High quality camera do not blur as easily and therefore product
clear images. The camera was useful as the clearer the photo
the easier it is the adjust the image in Photoshop .

Blogger
 My blog was the most used piece of equipment.
 As I had already learned how to blog from my preliminary task and
therefore I found it the easiest piece of equipment to use.
 I learned how to post my photographs and text, but most
importantly I got my audience research from using my blog. This
helped me to research what people my age would want to see in a
music magazine and what would be the best way to layout my
pages.
 Blogging helped me to see where I went wrong and how to
improve.
 I also kept my interacting with my target audience as I got there
views and opinions.

Polls
 I only used one poll which was to see what my target audience
thought would be a good name for my music magazine.
 Polls where helpful as they told me the majority of peoples view
not just one person.
 I learn from the poll that choosing the right name for your
magazine is important because if people don’t like or
understand the name they won’t buy the magazine.
