Question 6: What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

Since I started constructing my own magazine I have used many different pieces of technology which I don’t normally use and software on computers.

The biggest program I used and became quite good at it was adobe photo shop and this was used to edit my pictures and basically make my magazine products, this software is very good as it is quite simple to use and gets the job done at a good quality. From making my products I have learnt a lot from photo shop such as cropping and cutting photos, editing text to blend in and look professional, use blending options to make something stand out or look nicer, and putting things together to get the best quality products I can.

Another program I used a lot was just the basic Microsoft word to write up everything I had been doing whilst making my products; I didn’t really learn much from this as I already know a lot about this program as I have been using it a lot before this.

A piece of technology I used was a digital camera which I never really used before as I’m not into photography, so that was quite fun to learn about different camera angles and shots I could use for my pictures to insert into my final products.

Another thing I used a lot was just basically the internet and different websites, such as flicker, blogger and a website called dafont to get all the fine quality fonts I wanted for my finished products.
