- 2. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product? During the creation of my magazine media product, I have learnt ten times more about the technologies that is needed in constructing my product.
- 3. Camera To be able to create the final piece, I needed a lot of equipment. Firstly I’d need to be able to capture photographs, to do this I used a Sony camera; this made taking images a whole lot easier.The camera contained a self-focusing setting, making sure every photo taken was focused and not blurry. I found this completely reliable and therefore only used this for my work.
- 4. Programs used Once I had captured my photos, I needed some way to edit them. I did this through Photoshop Elements; which is how the majority of my final product was edited. Using this program I gained skills in using different tools such as the clone tool, magnetic lasso and the feathering tool. Photoshop has definitely improved my confidence in editing and making the photos the best they can be. For other parts of my magazine I used Publisher, this enabled me to create a bar code to put on the front cover, and create my brand logo’s. During my course work I had to discover a new way in how to get my planning across, I now have knowledge about prezi and slide share. The majority of my product was created onApple Mac, and the rest was finished on myToshiba laptop.
- 5. Social media Different social media’s were used to gain audience feed back, such as Facebook andTwitter.This helped me know whether the audience were interested in my magazine, as a customer would be, in theory.
