1. Technologies I have
used
• Photoshop (front page, contents page)
• InDesign (Double Page spread)
• Professional Camera

2. Photoshop
 At the beginning of my production I struggled in cropping out images without
leaving jagged edges or erasing part of the image. I was able to prevent this by
using the marquee tool to select certain parts I wanted to erase with the magic
tool, preventing anything outside of that area from being altered. I also learnt
how to alter an image to look a certain way (I.e black and white) and change
the colour to give it a more professional look. As well as that, I was able to use
the blur tool to erase a person who was in the background of a good image
and change the contrast, tone and brightness to get rid of any traces left
behind.

3. InDesign
 I used InDesign to place the text exactly where I want it with no uneven columns
etc. As I was using InDesign I discovered that the software automatically tries to
make columns even with the same amount of text so the only thing that I really
struggled with was creating a border without it covering any of the images/text
and creating a drop cap. Indesign allowed me to give my magazine a more
professional and sophisticated finish, making it look more like a real magazine.

4. Professional Camera
 For my images I used a professional camera and lighting
to prevent blurry images and really create a high
definition picture that would be fit to be placed on any
real magazine. Because of the great quality of the
picture, whenever I increased to picture’s size the quality
would stay the same.
