1. WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNT
ABOUT TECHNOLOGIES
FROM THE PROCESS OF
CONSTRUCTING THE
PRODUCT?

2. WEBSITES USED IN THE
PRODUCTION OF MY
RESEARCH, MAGAZINE
AND EVALUATION

3. I Have learnt how to use blogger and with this I
have learnt how to share onto blog sites and I
have learnt how to embed documents.
This is the first time that I have used a
website like flickr and I learnt how you
annotate pictures online and then share
them on blogging websites.
Another new website that I learned
to use is surveymonkey and on this
I learnt how to create a
questionnaire how to add an ‘if
other please specify’ box and how
to analyse the results

4. Before I started my media course I have
never used photoshop before and when we
first done a play around on it to test our
skills I didn’t know how to do anything and
know I have learnt how to use all of the
tools that is available which I will go into
onto the next slide.
Another new website that I haven’t used and
in this and to do this I had to upload my word
document into issuu and after I had
uploaded it I have to sort out the size
settings before I could embed this into
blogger where I needed to copy the link into
the html box in blogger.

5. TOOLS ON PHOTOSHOP

6. The lasso tool – this is where you can select a
certain piece of the work you are on and then can
directly change that area without changing the
rest of the product you are creating. I used this
tool when I was editing the brightness on my
photos when I didn’t want to effect the
background of my product.
This Is the magic wand tool and this is used for when
you want to edit the background or other objects out
of the image, you can do this by clicking on the part
you want to remove then pressing deleted when the
dotted outline showing you what you are getting rid
of, I used this in all of my images on my product.
This is the Gradient tool and you use would use
this when you have a block of colour which you
want to make more interesting so you drag the
line and it changes one colour into another. I
used this in my information bar at the bottom of
my cover page.

7. This is the horizontal text tool and this is what you
use when you need to apply a piece of text to your
product, once selected you drag the box to the
amount of text and shape you want your writing to
go in then you choose your font and size of text. I
used this tool for my cover lines because I could
get the same size text for each box
This is the eraser tool and this is used to get rid of
any part of the current layer you are on which you
don’t want anymore for example I would use this
when I am editing my pictures and the magic
wand tool couldn’t pick up everything so I would
use this to clean everything up.
This is the opacity tool and you can use this on
certain items to blend them into the
background more and so that they don’t stick
out by standing out. I used to opacity tool on
my cover line boxes so you could

8. Blogger
Advantages.
• Once you have been set up
with labels on your profile
and this means you can post
individual blogs for certain
labels and this makes it easy
to locate when you/others
are looking for it.
• Another advantage is that it
is a simple to work website
where you set up then you
click new post and then you
send it and straight away
onto your blog for everyone to
see
• Another advantage is that
they have many templates or
you can upload your own
design for you profile
meaning that everyone can
have their own personalised
profile
Disadvantages.
• One main disadvantage is
that the templates they give
you for you blog usually
aren’t big enough so when
you update you blog the
most recent is hard to see
as hidden behind the labels
• Another disadvantage is
when you are trying to
embed from another
website it doesn’t help you
out and make it easy for
you to do it and this meant
that I had to google how to
do it wasting time.
• my last disadvantage is that
that they aren't on many
sites to share meaning it
takes longer to update the
blog.

9. Flickr
Advantages.
Disadvantage
• The first advantage I found
• The main disadvantage that I
when using flickr is the ease
notice when using flickr is
of use because once you are
that there is only one thing
set up it is relatively simple
you can do and that is
to upload the picture that
annotate but there aren't
you want to evaluate and it is
many other functions which
just as easy to annotate with
you can do and this makes it
the easy to find drop boxes
rather one dimensional and
• Another advantage is that
vulnerable to other website
they are widely recognised
that allows you to do more.
amongst other website
• Another disadvantage I have
because when you are
for flickr is how
looking to share onto other
website they have a large list
in which you websites you
can which is helpful

10. Photoshop
Advantages
Disadvantages
• To me the main advantage of • The main disadvantages I

• Another advantage from
them so you have to do

• Another problem I found

backwards so if you
accidentally make a couple
