What have you learnt about technologies from the process of

constructing this product?

Photoshop

I have used Photoshop beforehand and found it a lot more easier with AS coursework as I was used to it.

I gained more skills from cutting around my main image and being able to change the lighting and contrast of my image made it a lot better for my magazine pictures.

Here is myself print screening my final front cover image using Photoshop.

Quark XpressQuark Xpress was a lot more difficult for me to work as it was brand new and just an editing process.

For my double page spread and contents page I think I finally got used to this programme and can officially use the different tools properly.

Here is a screenshot when I was editing the colour balance levels for one of my subsidiary images.

Voice Recorders and SLR camera

The voice recorder and the SLR camera were very easy to use and just common sense.

The voice recorder was simple and easy to get onto your blog. Here is a recording for my questionnaire I did using a voice recorder: http://hayleighchamberlainasmedia.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/indie-music-magazine-questionnaire.html

The SLR camera’s I found extremely useful and great quality for the work we were producing. Here are different shot types I did using an SLR: http://hayleighchamberlainasmedia.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/camera-shot-types.html

Blog sites

Using sites like Prezi, Slideshare, Glogster and Sliderocket were a great way of putting all my research on to my blog quickly and clearly.

I found Prezi hard at first, then I got used to it. Slideshare and Sliderocket are very simple and Glogster also.
