* This software was a huge part of my working process because it
allowed me to create my entire magazine from scratch. It
allowed me to develop a variety of new skills and allowed my
magazine to be created to a high quality and to a high standard.
It allowed me to be creative and innovative when I was designing
and it allowed my work to look professional. This software was
extremely helpful because it allowed me to manipulate and edit
my images and text thus enabled me to create a magazine that
was very suitable for my audience as well as a magazine that I
liked. This is why I felt I have learnt a lot from this particular
software because it allowed me to progress in my process
because it allowed me to experiment with different ideas with
different tools hence I feel like I have learnt a lot.

* I also learnt how to use Prezi within this process because Prezi
was a tool I could use which would make my work look more
creative and individual. It enabled me to present my work /
findings in a unique way hence why I feel like I have used this
tool successfully because in both my research and my
evaluation, I have used this tool to present my work in a more
interesting way. As well as this, it also made things easier to
manage because it allowed me to upload my work onto blogger
more easily and smoothly hence again, I feel like this tool has
helped me in many ways.
5. *
* Like Prezi, I have also used Slideshare minimally but it has
helped a lot. I used Slideshare to upload my PowerPoint
presentations onto my blog thus why I feel like this tool was very
helpful within my process because it made things easier; I could
upload my work onto blogger much more easily and smoothly.
Never before have I used Slideshare thus why I feel like I have
learnt a lot from using this tool because it allowed me to present
my work more creatively and innovatively because I knew how to
upload a PowerPoint presentation onto my blog thus I could
make my blog more interesting.

* Again, I used Google Drive minimally but I used google drive as a
way of storing all my photos from my photoshoots and I used it
as a way of storing my work so that I could work on it at home as
well as in school. This is why I feel like Google Drive was an
important part within my working process because it allowed me
to have strong time management as it meant I could keep up
with deadlines as I could work on my work at home. Also, in
regards to my images, because I kept all my images from my
photoshoot on there, it meant I could constantly swap and add
images into my work; I didn’t have to delete any because they
were all saved and ready for use. This is why I found this tool
handy because it was a place I could store all my work safely and
conveniently; I could access and edit my work anywhere.
7. *
* I found Google to be a very useful tool within my project
because I used it primarily to complete extra research into my
audience/genre. This is why I found that this tool was useful
because it allowed me to research further into my audience so
that my magazine well suited my target audience; it was more
appropriate. I also used it to research my genre. This was
because I didn’t really know a lot about the indie genre thus I
researched and googled it to look at what would appeal to them
so my magazine would be successful and strong. This I feel I did
well because after looking at other indie magazines and asking
‘indie’ people I got a wide variety of information about what I
could use to make my magazine suit my genre and audience
well.
8. *
* Blogger was one of the most important programs that I used
throughout my project. I had to upload all my coursework onto
this site and I felt I learnt a lot from this as I can now use this
for any future work/coursework I want to store online. It also
allowed me to upload my work more creatively and in a way
which was professional and neat. I feel like I have used this tool
successfully because I managed to upload all my coursework
onto it on time and in order. All my work was also presented
creatively and innovatively thus my blog looked interesting and
individual. This is why I feel like I have learnt a lot using this
program because I can use this tool in the future with good
knowledge and understanding.
