6. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
laptop/ computer -
Whilst producing my magazine i used the school computers in lesson time, after school, and in my free lessons in order to complete the task. At home i was able to use my laptop by downloading the free version trial of photo shop. This gave me some extra time to make changes and keep working on my magazine to get it right.
Adobe Photoshop 9-
This is the software i used to create my magazine. I was able to effectively use the tools it has to offer to edit the magazine. From my preliminary work, i learnt and developed my skills in order to use the software at its best.
Nixon camera-
I used this camera to take pictures of my artists, it is a 5 mega pixel camera and was available to me from home. I felt this was the best way to take my pictures as i have it at hand. I also used this camera to take pictures of my other artist seen in the contents page. I think the quality of the images was the best i was able to do.
Microsoft word-
I used this to spell check my double page spread, contents page and front cover i also used this to keep a word count.
Animoto-
I used this to make a brief mood board for my artist profile and target audience.
Memory stick-
I used a memory stick to transfer my images from my camera onto the school computers where photoshop is installed. This allowed me to edit the images and post on my blog some of the shots i was able to get.
Internet-
I used the internet to do the majority of my research alongside using music magazines. This came in handy as it allowed me to view up to date music magazines and artists that people were interested in.
