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

During the production process, I used the Apple macs,and created my products with the programs Photoshop and InDesign. Using these programs have helped me create a product that looks professional, and one that I am pleased with.                                  

 

Photoshop
With Photoshop I have learnt how to add embellishments and banners to my magazine, rather than plain text boxes, as well as how to add downloaded fonts to use for my magazine. I have also learnt how to export a Photoshop file into a JPEG in order for it to be accessed on InDesign and uploaded onto my blog.

InDesign
Using InDesign to produce my contents page and double page spread, I have learnt a lot about putting texts into columns, adding headings and captions, and creating an organised product. Like Photoshop, I also learnt how to install downloaded fonts, and export files as a JPEG.

                                     

Blogger

I have used Blogger in order to upload my research and planning, evaluation, as well as my products. Using blogger I have learnt how to import my products from Photoshop and InDesign, as well as posting links to things such as presentations.

Prezi

I used Prezi in order to make a presentation of my research into similar magazines. I also used it in order to answer evaluation question 1. Using Prezi I have learnt how to make a better looking, more detailed presentation (as opposed to Microsoft Powerpoint) 

Google Images

I used Google Images during the research stage of my product, to find the front cover, contents page and double page spread of similar magazines.

Dafont

I used Dafont in order to find fonts that would suit my magazine and help give it a professional look. Using Dafont I have learnt how to download a font to use in Photoshop and InDesign.
