Through completing this coursework, the student learned how to use several new technologies. They used WordPress to create a blog, SurveyMonkey to develop a survey for market research, and Photoshop and InDesign to design elements of their final product like a reader profile, front cover, and double page spread. The student gained experience with social media for sharing work and conducting research online. They learned technical skills like using layers and tools in Photoshop and formatting columns and styling text in InDesign.

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

2. During this coursework I have used a lot of different soft
wares. The only ones I have used before is Microsoft word
and powerpoint. I used them to plan and organise my
work to get the best possible result.

3. In the process of constructing this product I have learned a lot! The
process started with learning how to set up my blog in WordPress
where I could post all the things within the product. When I was
making an audience research I learned how to make a survey using
SurveyMonkey.
I had never used Photoshop or InDesign before in my entire life, but I
have learned how to use it in a good enough way that I could make a
readerprofile and my final product which contained a front cover,
contents page and double page spread. The reason I have never used
these photo programmes is because I have never had the subject or
anything related to it in Norway before.

4. Through this coursework I have learned more about social
media. How easy it is to make a blog, and make blog posts.
How to put a PowerPoint- or word document into the blog
by using the webpage called slide share. Everything is more
easy with the help of social media, and without
exaggerating, I couldn't do half of this coursework without
the internet.

5. When I started using Photoshop I did not know where to start at all,
but after some time it got easier and easier. I learned that to edit
different things in my project I had to create different layers, and
the way I created each layer was by right clicking and then creating
a new layer. I also used the polygon lasso tool a lot, that helped me
make thinks look better and more professional.

6. Survey
Monkey
While I was working with my market
research I used the webpage Survey
Monkey to make a questionnaire
about my audience. I did not know
how to do this, but it was easy and a
good way to get a lot of responses in a
short amount of time.

7. InDesign
Adobe InDesign is a software which can be used to
create works such as posters, flyers, brochures,
magazines, newspapers and books. In this case I used
InDesign to make a double page spread to my magazine. I
learned how to use the programme, and how to make
the different columns and how to make a drop capital in
the beginning of the article.
