Evaluation Question 6 What have you learnt about technologies from the process of construction this product?

PhotoshopPhotoshop has played a big roll I the construction of the magazine as it has been the main piece of software in which I used to create it. Photo shop has many different tricks which you can learn to turn a simple image into a amazing magazine cover. One of the most simple but most useful things i have learnt is how to keep image clarity whilst still resizing the image. May be simple but holding down the Shift Key and Dragging from the images corners allows the image to sty clear and this became very useful throughout the construction there were multiple images which had to have their size changed and manipulated. Also in Photoshop i have learned you ca change an develop a lot of different effects on image by using the FX section on the tool bar. This was very useful and has helped me developed my skills on Photoshop.

Power PointPowerPoint is one of my favourite presentation software's and this is mostly due to its complete efficiency and simplicity. You can easily construct answers and makegood presentations which are clear within minutes. I however learnt that its easier to create the answers on a word document and then paste them in when your lay outis correct I did this so I did not spend too much time making text fit to he layout.

PreziPrezi was one of the first experimental presentation software which I have used and it is very difficult to use in my opinion. The software is designed to make presentations but is hard to navigate and if not carefully proof viewed you may end up with allot of missing information or the information that you are trying to get across maybe viewed in a completely random order. The Prezi however was quite easy to translate over to blogger whereas some of the other software have to be processed via differentsites in order o achieve this.

Final ThoughtsThose are an example of some of the platforms in which I have used throughout. The magazine was constructed with care and this was good as it allowed me to experience different platforms and developed my knowledge. Before I used to use mostly word documents and PowerPoint but now I have effective different software. Some platforms are more suited to me but I have learnt you need patience with most in order to gain the most success.
