Media Evaluation

1. QUESTION 6
What have you learnt
about technologies
from the process of
constructing your
magazine?

2. PHOTOSHOP
To produce my magazine I had to use a software called Abode
Photoshop CS6. Photoshop is in fact a very difficult and time
consuming programme to use but with experience and guidance it can
be very useful and become easy through practice. There are many tools
that I used on the programme but the ones I used the most were.
-Colour Range: I used this to tool to delete all the green background
that was behind my models in the green room. This tool was very
helpful as it just left the models only in the image.
-Rectangle Tool: This was something that was really helpful as it
allowed me to create borders for my images that had an irregular
shape. It also enabled me to create different boxes on my pages giving
them such a formal look.

3. PREZI
Before taking on the media coursework I had never heard
of the website Prezi so I didn’t have a clue as what it was
or how to use it. For this reason I did some research on it
beforehand. With a lot of practice I began to get better at
using the website effectively and therefore produce
productive presentation throughout my blog.
I found Prezi really productive and will definitely use it in
the future when presenting other things as it makes
presentations more interesting.

4. WERE ANY OF THE
TECHNOLOGIES AN
OBSTACLE?
I found the software used within the process to be very useful and
really educating however using Abode Photoshop CS6 I had to come
over a lot of obstacles as some photos taken required more time and
attention within the editing process as I wanted that flawless and
professional finish within all three pages of my magazine. Also I
didn’t not use a green screen to take my pictures so therefore the
process of editing to longer than normal as the background within
the photo was similar to the skin tone of my model and of some of
her costume.
