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

2. Adobe Photoshop
• Adobe Photoshop is a
professional software. It
worked efficiently for me to
create professional images
fast and effectively.
• I learnt how to export
images and convert them
into a JPEG’s.
• I learnt how to put depth in
my images by using the
colour gradient tool
creatively. This made my
images look professional.
Photoshop was a
main software I
used in the
production of my
magazine.

3. BlogSpot
• I have found www.blogspot.com
, useful whilst producing my
product because it has enabled
me to organise my work and
create a chronological order of
my research and products.
• I have learnt how to edit the
HTML and embed helpful
powerpoints, videos and prezi’s
to my blog.
• I now understand how to
arrange my blog so the content
is clear and understandable.
This is the
layout for
my blogger.

4. Prezi
• www.prezi.com was a very
useful website to create my
brainstorms because it was a
simple yet creative programme
to follow to express my ideas.
• Prezi was a creative way to
publish my work I had
researched and evaluated.
• I learnt how to add a path to my
presentation to allow my work to
be seen in chronological order.
Snapshots of
my prezi’s I
have created.

5. YouTube
• I have learnt how to upload videos in their appropriate format
so that I could embed them into my blog posts.
• It was useful learning about the video so in the future I will
understand and be able to create my own to embed into my
blog
• I can now edit information on a video to change necessary
words or sentences.

6. Slideshare
• Slideshare was a useful media technology due to it allowing
me to covert my PowerPoint presentations into a more
compatible format so I could embed it properly into my blog.
• I learnt how to create an account efficiently so I was able to
upload a PowerPoint effectively and quickly.
• I found using Slideshare relatively straight forward due to it
being similar to YouTube, therefore embedding my work was
as easy and efficient.

7. InDesign
• I constructed the contents page and double page spread
using InDesign software due to it being more text based
compared to Adobe Photoshop.
• I learnt how to import my front cover – which was created in
Photoshop. This joint all my 4 pages together.
• InDesign was useful for grouping and scaling texts and
images together. Nevertheless, the resolution was greatly
smaller for images, therefore photos were pixelated at
times.

8. Internet Explorer
• I used Internet Explorer as my
main use of finding out
primary and secondary
research such as; magazine
layouts and stereotypical
tribes.
• I learnt how to research
properly into different areas
for my product, such as;
finding out particular owners
for magazines.
• Internet Explorer helped my
complete my
research, nevertheless, its not
100% reliable and had poor
quality images at times.
Finding
research was
fast and
efficient

9. Microsoft Word
• I used Microsoft Word to create my questionnaire for my
primary research.
• Due to their being no voice overs or video recordings I
believe the questionnaire was a hard way to find out
what my target audience wanted leaving it rather
limited, due to not seeing the readers attitude towards
the question.

10. Microsoft PowerPoint
• Microsoft PowerPoint was
rather useful when researching
various topics into my
product, it allowed me to
show my ideas on a slideshow
to express my work and be
seen creatively.
• Picture A is an example in
which way I used to share my
research on my blog.
• I then learnt how to upload my
presentations to Slideshare to
then be embedded into my
blog, which was a familiar
process as YouTube.
Microsoft
PowerPoint was
useful when
presenting my
research ideas.

11. Canon
• I used the canon camera for
my practise and final photo
shoot for my final magazine
product.
• I learnt how to take images
professionally using thirds –
this allows you to get the
right eyeline in the image.
• I understood how to zoom in
and zoom out to get the
image I wanted, so more
than one object or person
was suitable in the frame.
This is the camera I
used to take my
images for my final
product
