Evaluation: Question Six

 What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

Throughout creating my music magazine I used a lot of different technology's, one which I have used before and ones that I haven't. 

 

I used Photoshop to create my contents and front page, I also used it to edit all my photographs to make them look more professional for my magazine. On photoshop I used many different tools to make my magazine look as professional as I could. While editing pictures I used the magic tool to get rid of any blemishes they model may have, I did this for every photograph I used. I also learnt house to cut out the pictures by using the magnectic tool. I also could change or add make up, by using the brush tool and selecting the correct colour and density of the brush you could change hair colour, add lip stick, eye shadow, lip stick, blusher and mascara. On photoshop you could also create layers, and guidelines so that all your text was in line. You can edit the text with different styles, fonts and styles, you can also make the text glow if you want.

 

I used blogger all the way through the process of creating my magazine I used it to put all my work on, to put all my research for my magazine, I add all the processes of creating my magazine then magazine updates, final magazine and my evaluation.

 

I used indesign to create my double page spread for my magazine on. I chose to use Indesign to create my double page spread on because you can create guidline in columns like a magazine would have so it would be easier to type in the correct columns as well as them being the right size. You can also add shaped such as boxs which I useds to make my titles stand out. You can also add pictures. you can edit the text to any size you want as well as the font and if you want it bold to make it stand out.

 

I used prezi at the start of my magazine, I put on it the name, price, distribution, colour scheme and everything About the magazine I was going to create, this was called my production plan and you can find its in my early research and planning blogs.  I also used prezi at the end of the project to show some skills on different technologies I have got from making my magazine. I used prezi in my evaluation to help show that I have learnt to use different technologies in my magazine production as well as showing how I will attract and address my target audience to my magazine.

I used flickr in my evaluation to annotate JPEGS of my magazine, I did this on flickr to show that I have learnt to use different tecnologies in the process of creating my magazine. On flickr I annotated JPEGS of my magazine with how and where I would chose to distrubite my magazine as well as why I would do it, and how the magazine front cover, contents page and double page spread would help me do that.

 

 I used the SLR camera for all my pictures which I took and used within my music magazine. I used an SLR camera because they take professional pictures, you can use different settings such as one which blurs the background of the picture and focuses on the model. You can also zoom in without getting close to the model and putting them off and you can also change the focus of the camera so you can get the picture clear. Taking my picture on a SLR made them more clear and like they would really be on and in an music magazine.
