Evaluation question 4

1. Evaluation
question 4
How did you use media technologies in
the construction and research, planning
and evaluation stages?

2. Construction

3. • Adobe Indesign proved itself to be a very useful
and versatile software. I created the template for
all of the pages (front cover, contents page,
double page spread) in my magazine using the
resources in Adobe InDesign. This was the main
software I used out of all of them and the one that
I used the most. I also created my billboard
advert in Indesign so that I could move all the
image and text freely.
• I manipulated the image of my model using
Adobe Photoshop. In Photoshop I cut the main
image out from the background image so that
only my model remained.

4. • For the creation of my my radio advert I used
Adobe audition to manipulate the sounds of the
voices in my radio advert and to put them all
together. This was achieved by layering all of
the voices and sound effects over each other.
• I also recorded what my actors said through the
use of my iPhone 6 and edited them on my
macbook through adobe audition which is
mentioned above..

5. • I also used the Internet lots during the
construction stage of my coursework as I
downloaded the masthead fonts for my
magazine and billboard advert from dafont.com
which is a free font website. I also used the
internet to find suitable sound effects for my
radio advert.

6. Research

7. • The main technology that I used for the
research stage of my product was the Internet.
Without the use of the Internet I would not
know what the conventions of a regional
magazine, billboard poster, or radio advert are.
• I would also not know how to use
softwares such as InDesign or
Photoshop to the extent that I do
now, watching tutorials on them helped
me to waste time stuck on one thing.

8. Planning

9. • I used an app called iscanner on my iPhone to
scan in a brainstorm of magazine ideas that I
did on paper and the whiteboard.
• I used Youtube to look at tutorials on how to use
software's such as Adobe Photoshop and
indesign before I used them so I would know
how to use it efficently.

10. • I used my Blog on Wordpress too
gather and make sense of all the
information I gathered, and to also
keep track of what I needed to do.
• To plan the name of my
magazine I used the free online
survey website called Survey
Monkey to create a survey and
distribute it online.

11. Evaluation

12. • For the evaluation stage I used
Microsoft power point and then
uploaded it to my wordpress blog
through the use of slideshare
• I also used the emaze, an online
presentation service for an
evaluation question.
• Moogly was used to present one
of my evaluations questions in a
clear, consice, and fun format to
add variety to my blog.
• I also used the online
website Prezi to present
one of my evaluation
questions because I had
used them before.
• In the evaluation stage
the final media
technology I used was
my wordpress blog to
post all of my evaluation
questions in one place.
