Evaluation: Question 6

QUESTION 6:
What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

This is a list of all the different technologies that I have used in the making of my music magazine..




Firefox.
This was used as I had to access the internet a lot to do my research. I had to use the internet to research other magazines and other general information in order to begin the production.

Slideshare.
I had to create an account on Slideshare for my evaluation of my music magazine. I had to do this as I had created some Powerpoint presentations as part of my evaluation, therefore I had to upload the presentations onto my blogger and to do this I had to find Slideshare over the Internet and create an account in order to do this.



Blogger.
I had to create a blogger in order to blog everything that I had done involving my magazine, including research, pictures, class work, individual work, videos, links and other things. I had to use my blogger to get feedback from other people about my magazine. Every change that was made to my magazine I also had to blog.

Photoshop.
Photoshop played a major part in the production of my magazine as I had to use this to edit the pictures if needed by using the spot healing tool. Photoshop was the programme that I also used to make my music magazine front cover, contents page and double page spread. I even used this for my college magazine front cover. This helped me with my theme, colours, pictures, text and backgrounds.

InDesign.
I originally used InDesign for my contents page of my music magazine, however, this made it look different and not consistant or matching with my front cover and double page spread which was done on Photoshop. I did some earlier work on this programme as well as a first attempt with my music magazine contents page.

IMac Computer.
This IMac computer is what I did all my work on, including my music magazine, my college magazine and my blogger work. This is what I created my magazine on and this is what had on all the different programmes in which I could use for my magazine which includes Photoshop, Firefox and InDesign.

SLR Camera.
I used an SLR Camera to take my pictures for my magazine. I chose different locations in which to take my pictures and I took many different ones so then I had a variety to chose from. I took plenty of test shots so some of the pictures I took I didn't use in my magazine but I uploaded them to my blog.

IPhoto.
This is a programme on the IMac that allows you to upload your photos that you have taken from your camera. I used this programme to upload my pictures to the IMac computer so then I could load them up onto my blog and also onto Photoshop so then I could edit them and then fit them into my magazine.

Prezi.
This is a website that you can find on the internet. I had to make an account so that I could make a Prezi show to highlight different aspects of my music magazine. I have also used Prezi in a question for my evalutation.

Flickr.
I have used Flickr in a question for my evaluation and it is to upload my music magazine front cover, contents page and double page spread onto and annotate them once they are on there. I have used it to upload my magazine and talk about media instiution distributing my product and reasons why.
