Evaluation 6 q
- 1. What have I learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
- 2. Software I have used… • Adobe PhotoShop – This is the software which I used in order to manipulate my photos. Every photograph which I have used in my magazine has been altered slightly in PhotoShop, in order to better their appearance. • Adobe InDesign – This is the software that I used to actually create the three pages of my music magazine. This software has allowed me position all of the features on the pages where I wanted them and ultimately enabled me to create a music magazine to a high standard. • Windows Movie Maker – Software that will allow me to make a short movie.
- 3. My Blog The programme which I created my blog in was Blogger as this programme enabled me to create a blog with lots of different features such as labels. It is on this programme that I used to present all of the work that I did on my music magazine in posts on and then put labels on them so that people can easily use my blog.
- 4. Websites I used to evaluate • Prezi – I used this to create a presentation that was interactive • Popplet – I used this website to create a mind map. • Voki – To create a figure will verbally speak the details of the evaluation. • Thinglink – A programme which allowed me to add details to the image which will appear once the user hovers over that specific area. • Slideshare – A website which allowed me to present my PowerPoint presentation
- 5. Camera This is the type of camera that I used in order to take the majority of the images seen in my music magazine. I used a professional camera, so that I could get the best quality photographs to improve the professional look of the magazine.
- 6. From creating this music magazine I have learnt the following about technologies: • Initially, using all the technologies listed were difficult, but after using the different programmes for a while I began to understand how to use them. As I used PhotoShop, InDesign and Blogger the most I became the most confident with those programmes and could use them to a high standard. Both InDesign and PhotoShop have got so many different features which make up the programme and so finding the tool you need at the right time was difficult to get the hang off. Added to this I had some difficulties using Blogger and laying it out in a way that way that was suitable and appropriate for things to be found easily, yet after looking at the various different features on the pages I managed to lay the blog out suitably.
