2. Throughout constructing my music magazines front cover, content page and double page spread. I decided to use the well known Photoshop CS6.
Photoshop has highly benefited me in terms of constructing my music magazine from scratch to the final piece. I used Photoshop in GCSE however in AS it
was a bit easier for me and I just had to expand on various key tools on Photoshop. I have learnt many new things whilst constructing my music magazine,
which consists of the dodge tool, this was beneficial for me as I could make easy edits in a few steps which was highly beneficial.
Overall I do not think my music magazine would have been this successful if it wasn't for Photoshop, I feel that I have used all tools that I know and
acknowledge to create a professional final piece for my front cover , content page and double page spread.
3. Blogger! The most easiest way of uploading your work for your teacher to assess and mark, moreover if you are at home you can also submit work and the
teacher can view it. Its a couple of clicks very simple process which was highly beneficial for constructing my music magazine due to the fact that I would
upload production logs and other posts which then my teacher would give immediate feedback on.
Overall my organisation of my music magazine was all thanks to blogger, if it was submitted via printed out or other methods the possibilities of the
working getting lost is very high however through blogger nothing can get lost.
4. Facebook is helpful in everyway you can think of, it has highly helped me throughout my music magazine in terms of organising dates for me and my
model to meet up and dress codes. Facebook is a very simple social networking site where you can make an account in a couple of clicks and that’s it your
connected to millions of people around the world. In my occasion I used facebook to assist me in constructing my music magazine. Sending messages is a
extremely quick and simple process and if you have the application on your smart phone you will receive the message fast like a text.
Facebook has highly been beneficial for constructing my music magazine due to the fact that I don't see my model everyday and through facebook I
informed them of date changes and dress code.
5. Whatsapp is the worlds leading app for contacting and sending files
across around the world. Whatsapp has highly helped me throughout
constructing my music magazine due to the fact that my model only had
access to facebook on his computer and when he left to meet up in the
agreed location on the weekend to take photos. Whatsapp helped me
because i was in constant contact with my model to give me a
comprehensive understanding of where he is and how far he is away from
the location that we were going to take photos.
Whatsapp successfully did its job and it is a very good app which i learnt is
very useful for situations like this.
6. Google drive has saved me a lot of time in terms of
creating a questionnaire in a couple of clicks and
obtaining the results electronically . I managed to create
a questionnaire for my target audience to see what they
would expect in a music magazine so I can use the data
and demonstrate it on to my music magazine
production to make it as successful as possible.
Overall I learnt that Google drive is a extremely easy
process to create a questionnaire and has highly
assisted me in my music magazine production.
7. Canon the worlds leading company for creating
professional electronic equipment. Whilst constructing my
music magazine production to make it look as professional
as possible our schools media department consists of top of
the range canon cameras which I managed to use and take
pictures of my model. The canon camera has highly
assisted me in taking my music magazine one step closer to
professionalism as it took extremely top quality pictures to
make my music magazine look as realistic as possible.
I have also learnt that the camera has a manual and auto
focus button which was very helpful if I wanted the model
to be sharp and background be blur or the model blur and
the background sharp, this was highly beneficial.
