6) What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

Thoughout this project i have used lots of technologies like Photoshop, Flickr and Blogger.


Photoshop:

I have used Photoshop alot as i used it to create the magazine itself. I have learnt alot over the project and have enhanced my knowledge about using photoshop. I edited all my images in photoshop, this really helped them standout more as they looked more proffessional. In some of my images i erased the background this helped them have a bigger depth to them to make them satndout more i did this by using the eraser tool. I like the way that with photoshop i could keep my colours the same colour instead of having different tones of one colour. I also ehanced some of the colours that where aready in the image but seemed to look a bit dull, i did this by using the burn tool, this really helped get over the bright effect that i was trying to consentrate on through out my whole magazine. Another thing i used photoshop for was to create my masthead for the magazine itself. I did this by using a bubbly font that would realte best with my target audience. Then i began changing each colour with the text tool, i also edited my masthead in bevel and embose this really helped give the text a really bolder glossy feel. Doing this really helped it satndout on the magazine font cover and through out the magazine itself.    

 

Flickr:

I have used Flickr thoughout the project also as i found it easier to do the online analysis on and also it was alot easier to upload photographs to. This was easier as the analysis looked more apealing to read instead of in one big chunck of text. I also gained greater knowledge in using online applications then posting them straight to your blog. The only disavantage to using Flickr was that on the college computers it sometimes wouldnt work and sometimes wouldnt let you upload images.  

 

 

Blogger:

Blogger was really good in helping me post all my finished products and letting me write about what i have done thoughout. Blogger had a disavantage in it is really difficult to move the images around.

I think that using these types of technology were a lot more exciting then just writing on lump of an evaluation. This also help me write more about what i have used to creat my magazine as i feel that it is presented in a more colourful way. To improve my knowledge next time i will try to use some technologies that i can find on the internet to enhance my skills in using different techniques.
