The document discusses what the author has learned about technologies from constructing their product. They used Photoshop to create the product, learning how to crop, resize, add text, adjust saturation, brightness and contrast, use levels, color selection and editing tools, and shapes tools. The author is comfortable with their Nikon D90 camera and did not develop new skills apart from capturing fast movements. They looked at Dafont but did not find the font they wanted, instead using one already in Photoshop. Previously, the author has used Photoshop, Publisher, PowerPoint, Blogger, Prezi, SlideShare, recording devices, WavePad and SoundCloud to create and showcase other projects.

- 1. WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNT ABOUT TECHNOLOGIES FROM THE PROCESS OF CONSTRUCTING THE PRODUCT? By Jasminder Sagoo
- 2. Photoshop… • To create my product I used Photoshop- I used this to create all three parts of my product. • List of tools I used- • Cropping - to crop the images down, • Resizing- to resize the images to fit on to the page were I wanted them page, • Text- To write everything you see on the products, • Saturation- in editing the image colour take out any harsh yellows or brightness in colour that wasn’t needed, • Brightness and Contrast – to change the boldness of picture and the balance of light, • Levels- again to make the image bolder and to give more contrasts • Colour Selection and edit tool-this focuses in on a particular colour and changes it slightly. • Shape tool – to created coloured boxes and outlines also to create straight bold lines. • Flattening tool- to make the file size much smaller so I can upload it to the blog etc., • Copy and Paste tool – to bring images in and out of the product.
- 3. Camera… • I do photography as an a level and understand the DSLRS very well I am comfortable in using it and did not develop my skills much more apart from being able to take the picture fast enough to capture the movements. I have used a Nikon D90 for all of the photography apart from one of the pictures in the contents page which was taken with a small compact Samsung digital camera.
- 4. Dafont… • Through the production of my product the only website I looked at to use was Dafont but I couldn’t find what I was looking for and ended up using the font that I really liked already on Photoshop.

What have I used before… • I have used Photoshop and publisher as well as PowerPoint to publish products before. • I have used a variety of web applications to showcase the research, planning, drafting, final products and evaluation, I have used a variety of web applications to showcase the research, planning, drafting, final products and evaluation, • I have used: • Blogger: to record everything to do with the making of this product. • Prezi – to present parts of the blog like development and questions in the evaluation. • Slide share- to upload PowerPoint's that I have created looking at things like genre. • The smart recording device on my mobile phone to record my voice in response to Q1 of the evaluation. • Wave pad- I used this to edit the recordings and put them together. • Sound Cloud – I have used this to upload my finished recording and embed it on to my blog.
