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


During the construction of our music magazine we had to record our progress as we went, to do this we used a website known as www.blogspot.com, I had never used this kind of technology before and whilst creating my magazine I learnt how to use it however it is not a technology that I will use after the production of my magazine as I did not enjoy using it.

I have used Microsoft Publisher on many occasions but never to create a magazine, I found that it was quite a good programme to use for creating the magazine and I had no problems in using this technology as I have used it before.

When taking my photo’s I started by using an Alba 8 megapixel digital camera, once uploaded on to the computer I saw that they were not of a very good quality therefore I changed the camera I used, the next time I took the pictures I used a 12 megapixel Alba camera and found that the quality was much better suited to that of a magazine.

When editing my pictures after taking them I firstly used ArcSoft MediaImpression which I have on my home computer. I edited the brightness and contrast of the images on this programme and re-touched some parts of the model, once at school I used Photoshop which I have not really used before to edit out the shadows on my images. I found this programme quite confusing to use and don’t think I will be using much after making my magazine. I also used Microsoft Office 10 in order to edit some of my images. This was a programme i had not used before but it as simple to use and worked well.

I also used a programme known as slideshare which i had never used before. I used this programme to upload my powerpoint presentations so that i could post them into my blog. I was new to this programme and have now learnt how to use it efficently.
