The document discusses various technologies used in the construction of a music magazine project. Adobe InDesign was the primary program used to create the magazine layout, allowing sophisticated styling of pages. Adobe Photoshop was also used to remove backgrounds from images. A digital camera was used to take high quality photos for the magazine. Blogger was used to document the entire production process. Prezi and PowerPoint were utilized to present research findings and target audience results. The internet served as the main foundation, allowing access to applications and enabling online research.

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

2. Adobe InDesign
 This was a key program in the
construction of my music magazine. It
allowed my to create my cover
page, contents page and article in a
sophisticated style.
 This program has many tools that with
induction and practice (through my
preliminary task), I felt by the time it
came to produce my music
magazine, I was able to use this
efficiently.

3. Adobe Photoshop
 This program is one I was only briefly
introduced to. I used it’s background
erasing tools to subtract the
background away from the images in
my preliminary task. When I came to
use this tool on my music magazine
images, I felt the practice had lead me
enabling using the tool more efficiently
with better results.

4. Digital Camera
 I used a digital camera to take all the
images I used for my music
magazine, as well as other props like the
addition of a lamp for brightness on the
face of my artist ‘Ella’.
 The reason behind this was that I felt
other camera devices, such as a mobile
phone camera, would not give as good
quality, and would therefore tarnish the
overall presentation of my magazine.

5. Blogger
 I used Blogger regularly throughout the
progress of my music magazine
production.
 I used my account to upload all drafts of
my production, as well as drawn
drafts, image selection, target audience
and music magazine pages
research, etc.
 I found it simple, easy, and quick to
use, displaying my progress in a
sophisticated and professional
presentation, through a diary-like

6. Prezi
 Prezi is another online application that I have had
to get accustomed with as I used this, not only to
display my music magazine research, but also
during my evaluation.
 This alternate way of presenting certain aspects
of my evaluation was chosen as using the online
site was quick and easy. It’s inventive designs
allow my content to be displayed in a visually
different and appealing manner, which I consider
a breath of fresh air from the sometimes bland
presentation of continuous essay-like layouts.
 By using creative tools such as arrows, it can
convey content in such a way that can be more
easily understood.

7. PowerPoint/Slideshare
 I used PowerPoint to display some
aspects of my progress in the production
of my magazine, such as the results of
my target audience questionnaire.
 It allows the observer to accurately follow
slides of what I’m conveying, in a
simple, yet, effective way. This simplicity
helps not to distract the observer from
the progress of my production, but allow
them to view it in a clear manner.

8. The Internet
 The internet has mainly been the foundation
in the progress of my music magazine, in
addition to Adobe InDesign.
 It allowed me to access online applications
such as Prezi and Slideshare, that I used to
display questionnaire results, research and
certain parts of evaluation.
 In some areas of this research I could use the
search engine Google to collect images
like, the music magazine pages, to use for
analysis.
 Also, I could use the site Blogger to post my
progress easily and efficiently.
