QUESTION 6-WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNT ABOUT TECHNOLOGIES

FROM THE PROCESS OF CONSTRUCTING THIS PRODUCT?

CREATING/EDITING

CAMERA

• WHEN  TAKING PICTURES FOR MY MAGAZINE I USED A CANNON EOS 550D CAMERA AS IT PRODUCES HIGH-DEFINITION IMAGES WITH 18 MEGAPIXELS, IT HAS A GOOD HIGH-ISO PERFORMANCE WITH A GREAT SENSITIVITY OF UP TO ISO 6,400WITH A GREAT DESIGN & LAYOUT, ALSO, I FOUND THIS CAMERA EASY TO USE AS THIS IS THE CAMERA WHICH I USE FOR ART AND I’M COMFORTABLE WITH.

LIGHTNING

• WHILE TAKING PICTURES FOR MY MAGAZINE, I USED FOR FLOOR LAMPS FOR MY PHOTO-SHOOT SO AS TO CREATE SHADOW AND HIGHLIGHTS TO THE PICTURE-IT ADDED AN EFFECT TO MY BLACK & WHITE IMAGE.

EDITING• AFTER TAKING VARIOUS PICTURES, I SELECTED THOSE WHICH WOULD BEST SUIT THE

PURPOSE FOR MY MAGAZINE, HAD A GOOD QUALITY, IS CLEARLY VISIBLE, THW SHADOW & LIGHTNING WAS RIGHT, THE MODELS HAD THE RIGHT POSTURE, FACIAL EXPRESSION & THEIR COSTUME LOOKED RIGHT. LASTLY, I MADE SURE THE IMAGES I USED WOULD FIT IN WITH THE WAY IN WHICH I WANTED TO EDIT THEM.

• TO EDIT THE IMAGES FOR MY MAGAZINE I USED ADOBE ELEMENTS 8, ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CC, CS5 AND CS6 BECAUSE I HAD TO EDIT THEM AT HOME AND IN SCHOOL-DIFFERENT CLASSES WHICH HAD VARIOUS TYPES OF THE SOFTWARE. SO AS TO BE ABLE TO FURTHER EDIT MY WORK, I MADE SURE I SAVED ALL MY LAYERS UP TILL THE FINAL POINT. PHOTOSHOP WAS USED TO EDIT MY PHOTOGRAPHS AND ALSO CREATE MY MAGAZINE. USING THIS SOFTWARE WASN’T NEW TO ME AS I AM AN ART STUDENT AND WORKING ON MY PRELIMINARY TASK MADE IT EASIER FOR ME.

•  I USED PHOTOSHOP FOR THIS PROJECT RATHER THAN PUBLISHER AS IT PROVIDES ME WITH MUCH MORE OPTIONS TO EDIT MY PHOTOGRAPHS AND CHANGE THE LAYOUT. I WAS SATISFIED WITH THE FONTS PHOTOSHOP PROVIDED AS I WANTED A SIMPLE FONT, SO THERE WAS NO NEED TO USE A FONT CREATING WEBSITE LIKE DAFONT.COM.  CREATING MY MUSIC MAGAZINE TOOK MUCH MORE TIME TO CONSTRUCT THAN THAT OF MY PRELIMINARY TASK AS MY MUSIC MAGAZINE REQUIRED MUCH MORE THOUGHT. 

OTHERS• I USED YOUTUBE & GOOGLE TO SEARCH FOR PHOTOSHOP TUTORIAL SO AS

TO HELP AND GUIDE ME THROUGH MY WORK, I ALSO USED IT AS INSPIRATION AND RESEARCH FOR MY MUSIC MAGAZINE.
