The document discusses the various technologies and software programs used to create a magazine. For photos, a DSLR camera was used in a studio setting with lighting equipment, while a compact camera was used for outdoor location shots with natural lighting. Photoshop was used to crop photos and create the magazine cover, Illustrator was used to make the masthead, and InDesign was used to build the contents page and double-page spreads. The creator learned new skills in using these programs and developing different parts of the magazine, and uploaded their work to a blog to receive feedback and improve their work.
