Question 6What Have You Learnt About Technologies From The Process Of Constructing This Product?
I used a range of different technologies to help me create my magazine including:Digital SLR CameraAdobe Photoshop QuarkxpressBlogger.comDafont.com
Digital SLR CameraTo get high focussed photographs of a professional standard, I captured the images with a Nikon digital SLR camera. This camera allowed me to capture high quality, professional pictures as I was able to use all of the different settings to increase lighting and brightness of pictures etc. I did a photo shoot with my models and took a variety of different pictures and then I was able to pick the best pictures to use for my magazines.
Adobe PhotoshopPhotoshop is the main programme I have used when creating my magazine as I edited all my pictures on it. It was particularly good for making my front cover as I was able to edit and perfect my pictures, so that let looked a lot more eye catching. I changed the exposure so that some of the images were clearer to see and I also increased the contrast to give a more professional look. Photoshop was new to me when I first started using it, but I managed to learn how to use it quite quickly.
QuarkxpressI used this software to create my double page spread and contents page. It was good for these as I was able to create columns really easily to make my magazine look real. I had to insert my images from photoshop therefore I had to use the picture box tool.
Blogger.comI have used blogger frequently as I post all of my media work onto it to be marked. I find it really simple to use as everything is clear and it is easy to insert pictures, links, videos etc to help present my coursework.
Dafont.comI used dafont.com to find different fonts to use in my magazine. I was able to pick a font with the correct connotations for my magazine and a font in which linked in with my target audience. I found it simple to use as I could download the font onto my user area and insert in into my magazine whenever I needed to use it.
