Evaluation: Question 6

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

During this process I have used a variety of different software/technologies in the process of creating my final product. I mainly used adobe in design to create the majority of my magazine, however I also incorporated adobe photo shop into some parts of the process, eg- editing photos and superimposition. I decided to use adobe in design for the majority of the magazine as I found it easier to work with in terms of creating the general layout. I used photo shop for more technical things like editing the photos and adding superimposition etc to my magazine, I found that there are a wider range of tools to use when creating the masthead of my magazine, it is also easier to edit your photo's on photo shop due to the fact there are more curve levels you can experiment with. 



Above are images i edited using Photoshop to make them look more professional and give the illusion of professional lighting that I didn't actually use. 


Above is evidence of me creating my masthead using Photoshop, I experimented with many different fonts, colours and sizes using the wide range of tools available, however this was the masthead i chose for my final product. 




This is an image showing how i created the majority of my magazine on adobe in design- particularly the double page spread as i found it easier laying out the page in a professional and organised way.

As you can see on my blog I have used a range of different technologies to present my work on each post.  This has allowed me to develop and learn about new online presenting techniques which i feel will be very beneficial to me in the future. I have learnt how to use technologies like slide share, prezi, glogster, scribd and author stream- some of which were very new to me.

Overall this how process has benefited me throughly in developing and learning about new technologies. I am now very confident when using adobe in design and photoshop which will be extremely beneficial to not only my future media work, but for my future career paths. I am now able to present my work on different platforms instead of just powerpoint which is also very beneficial to me as I am able to make my work look more interesting and proffesional. Using blogger has allowed me to understand the basics of managing a blog a skill that I didn't have before. Lastly, I have developed my skills on photgraphy, i am very pleased with the outcomes of my photographs and it has made me very confident in taking pictures of which i am very pleased about.
