Blogger

Facebook

Slide ShareI used slide share in order to present my work in

slideshow form on my blog. I easily accessed slide share from any computerwhich allowed my to put work on my blog from

slide share easily. I had never used slide share before as I didn't

use it during my ancillary product which meant Ihad to take time out of doing my work to be

able to use it efficiently.

Example

Here is an example of how I have used photo share to present my work front cover analysis onto blogger. It created a slideshow of the work you have produced so you can access you work in a quick and easy way.

PhotoshopI used Photoshop to present and edit my work.

Putting together my work on Photoshop waseasy as it was easy to move the bits of

information and images around the pages. I alsoused different fonts available so that the fontswere consistent and professional through-out

the magazine.I found it difficult to edit my work in a way that itdidn't look too over edited or too under edited. I

also found some tools on Photoshop difficult to usewhich took up some of my time as I had to learnhow to use it correctly when editing my work.

Example

Here is an example of how I used drop shadow on Photoshop to make the word ‘Woodward’ stand out on the page against the

rest of the background.

BloggerI used blogger to put all of my work on which

enabled the teachers and examiner to access mywork.

I found using blogger very easy and straight forward as I learnt how to use it during my ancillary product. I found it easy to put on Jpeg images as it is a very

easy process.One problem I had using blogger is putting on

different sources. For example, embedding a word document off slide share and putting in on my blog.

Example

This is a screenshot of my blog.

Nikon D3100The camera I used to take my images was a Nikon

D3100.I found, when using the camera as during our ancillary tasks, we got taught how to use the

different camera’s. This made using the camera easy.

One of the problems I faced when using the camera was getting the right angles for each image and also when on the camera stand, I

found it difficult to move the camera around to get the right image shot.

FacebookI used Facebook for question 4 in my evaluation. I did this too get feedback on my magazine pages in

order to evaluate my work. As I have used Facebook for many years, I didn’t

find I hard to work Facebook as I already knew what I was doing.

The major problem I had with using Facebook was trying to get the people in the group to all give me

feedback. This was a problem because not everyone would have been online when I created the account

so therefore may have forgotten about it.

Example

Here is an example of some comments which I gathered from the Facebook focus group.
