What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
Harry-Stephen Weedal
HD Cameras
I had never before used a HD camera until I began to produce my magazine. I had to learn the function of the camera and how to use it.
I also learnt different camera shots throughout the production whilst I took the pictures, including mid shots, medium close ups, high angle shots and low angle shots.
Photoshop
I used photoshop to product my front cover for my music magazine
it was very useful and a good software that I had unfortunately only used a couple of times. Whilst constructing my product I learnt different uses of photoshop such as how to crop images by using the polygon tool.
Prezi
Prezi was a great online software that I used to present work such as the production of my ‘final magazine front cover’ and post in onto blogger.It contained great animations to choose from and backgrounds such as a map of the world, which makes the presentation more enjoyable to read.It was an easy software to use. And never had any faults or delays when i used it therefore it was a reliable technology.
Quark
I had also never used this software before. To begin with I struggled to use it as I wasn't familiar with the layout and the function of the software. Soon it came easy to me and I was able to create both my contents page and double page spread using the software. The boarderlines on the pages of the Quark software, helped me to make my pages accurate and measurable, for example keeping to the guides, meant nothing would get cropped out such as the title of the magazine.
Conclusion
Throughout the construction of my magazine I enjoyed using different technologies and computer software's which I hadn't used before. They came in very useful and certain important pages for example my contents page would not of been able to be constructed if it wasn't for these software's. Overall my favourite software had to be Prezi. It was a great presentational tool and was easy to get the hang of. It had great animations and different backgrounds that were fun to use.
