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 manner.

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.
