1. What I have learnt about
technologies from the
process of constructing this
product

2. To create my music magazine I
used various different products.
Theses include, blogs,
Photoshop, slide share and many
others which is included in this
PowerPoint

3. Slide share
Slide share has been useful to use while
creating my blog. This is because it allows me
to create PowerPoint's and upload them onto
my blog by changing the format. Also, as it allows me to upload
power points this gives a more interesting look and is less
enduring to read, due to containing a variety of images and
words.

4. Photoshop
I used Photoshop for both my magazines.
My skills in this program developed a lot
throughout creating my products. When creating my
preliminary task I used the basics that Photoshop had to
offer. Whereas, when creating my full product I used an
array of tools. For example, for many of my images I
selected render and then lighting effects, this allowed me to
alter the lighting in my images. I also used many clipping
masks which overlaid images onto text. Overall, Photoshop
allowed me to create much more professional looking
music magazine.

5. DSLR Camera
For my music magazine I used a Nikon D70
DSLR camera. This was much more helpful than
a standard digital camera. This camera was able
to hold up to 400 RAW format images, with this format
I was able to edit it differently to JPEG images in Photoshop. Also,
due to it being able to hold 400 I was able to keep all my images
taken and then upload them onto my computer, this is so I could
see them all on a large screen before choosing which to use on my
full product. During using this camera I was able to develop my
skills. I learnt to use different settings and learn which would be the
best for the type of image I want to take. I was also able to see
what type of angles would look best for my genre of magazine

6. Microsoft PowerPoint,
Microsoft Word
This Microsoft word allowed me to write
up text before imputing it on to my blog. It
acted as a drafting area to make sure my
text was correct and suitable. Also, I was able to spell check my
text before it appeared on my blog. I used Microsoft PowerPoint
to create my PowerPoint's. This software is easy to use,
therefore, I am able to create quick and informative work.

7. Internet Explorer
During creating my product the internet was
very helpful. By using it I was able to find a
lot of research into many different genres of
magazines, and most importantly, my own magazine genre.
Another important factor is my blog. With out the internet I
would not have access to my blog and therefore would not be
able to upload the research I have acquired.

8. Due to having this technology I was able
to create a professional looking product.
Without it I would not have a suitable
magazine aimed at my indented
audiences and I would not have
appropriate planning or research.
