What have you learnt about
technologies from the process of
   constructing this product?
•   I have learnt new skills throughout the process of
    constructing my media product, I have learnt how to use new
    software and websites that I haven't used before such as
    Photoshop, Slide share, Blogger, Survey monkey.

•   Photoshop was a large part of the construction of my music
    magazine as it provided me with the correct tools to give my
    magazine the effect I wanted. I didn’t have a lot of knowledge
    of Photoshop previously so I learnt a lot when editing my
    images and pages. I used tools such as layering, a gradient
    background effect, a shadow and the text tool.

•   Another technology I learnt about during the construction of
    my product was Slideshare, which I hadn’t previously used
    before creating my blog. It was a key part of creating my blog
    as it allowed me to upload my Powerpoint presentations onto
    my blog, it also showed me how to use HTML and embed the
    files that I had created onto my blog.
•   Blogger was a very important part of the process of
    constructing my product. I learnt how to upload and
    share all of my work onto my own blog. I also learnt
    how to publish and organise my work by using titles
    and labels, therefore making it easier for people to
    view my work online. Blogger was effective as it made
    it quicker and easier for me to share and organise my
    work. I hadn’t previously created a blog before
    constructing my media product, therefore I learnt how
    to create my own account so that I could access my
    blog and edit it easily.

•   Survey Monkey was another great piece of technology
    I learnt from when creating my media product, as I
    learnt how to create my own survey. I learnt how to
    input my own questions and choose the style of
    answer I wanted the consumer to use. I also learnt how
    to upload my survey onto Facebook allowing a bigger
    audience to answer the questions I had created. Survey
    Monkey was very useful as it helped me to find out the
    likes and dislikes of my chosen target audience.
