By using Survey Monkey it enabled me to become familiar with how to conduct a survey as well as make aware of my survey. To do this I advertised it on social media including Facebook and Twitter.

Also as this website only allowed me to ask 10 questions it made me think more about the questions I was asking and making sure that my questions were specific and would give me helpful answers.

Youtube helped me in many ways when creating my magazine. It helped me watch tutorials of different skills needed for Photoshop. As I was new to Photoshop there were some basic skills I new and developed by playing around with the software but some I needed to watch tutorials on.

This allowed me to develop my skills on Photoshop as well as learn how to use different tools such as the ReactangleTool and the Quick Selection Tool. By doing this it has enabled me to feel more confident when using Photoshop in the future.

Within my production of my magazine I had to get lots of images off of Google. By doing this frequently and needing specific pictures it helped me improve the way I search for things on search engines such as Google.

Therefore in the future when searching for something specific I will know how to do this to find what I need.

When taking pictures of ‘Gracie D’ I noticed that the pictures were not coming out as clearly as id like them. So, I used a tripod which held the camera so that it would not move when I took a picture of ‘Gracie D’.

This has helped me improve my knowledge on camera work and not just creating a magazine.
