Media technologies used to make the magazine

We used Photoshop to create our front cover.

I used the text tool to create the masthead and cover lines on my magazine. To lay my image I opened the file and fitted it to the page.

Media technologies used to make the magazine

We used QuarkXPress to create our contents page.

For our contents page I added photos using the photo tool and then resizing them to fit into the space I had made. I added text using the text tool, I added my title and the rest of my text with it.

Strengths and weaknesses of using the media technologies.

• The column template made it easy to set out.

Weaknesses

PhotoshopStrengths• It was also easy to insert text.• It was easy to fit and resize the image onto

the page.Weaknesses • It was easy to use so I cant think of a

weakness of using the programme.
