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

2. Before
Before making my school magazine I had
never used Photoshop or indesign. Now I have
finished my magazine I feel I have more
confidence when it comes to Photoshop and
indesign. I am able to do things like removing
the background of pictures and changing the
colours using Photoshop. I used indesign to put
my magazine together. I am able to create
layers and make neat text. Because I was new
to both pieces of software I did have to do some
research as to how to do certain things. I often
used youtube for tutorials.

3. Photoshop Cs6
 I mainly used Photoshop to edit my pictures. I removed
backgrounds with it and also enhanced the colours by
changing the hue and saturation. I also used Photoshop to
make my logo and some of the text on the front cover. The
only problem I found with Photoshop was when putting it into
indesign the edges looked very unnatural.

4. Photoshop Cs6
 This is one of the pictures I edited using Photoshop Cs6.

5. Indesign
 I used indesign the whole way through the
production of my magazine. I was able to layer
things on top of each other to make it look more
interesting. I created the whole of my contents
page by just using indesign. I did this because
contents pages are meant to be busy and full of
images and text so by layering I was able to
achieve that.

6. Audacity and sound cloud
 I used audacity to edit the voice recordings I made. I recorded
someone talking about my magazine to help me evaluate it
(see Q5) and I needed to use audacity to edit out all the bits
where there was no sound.
I then used soundcloud so that I
could embed the clip into a blog
post so that I could share it.

7. Windows movie maker
 I used windows movie maker for question 2
of my evaluation. I wanted to use a mixture
of pictures and text to show how my
magazine represented a particular social
group. I used windows movie maker to
show it in an interesting way. It was a way
that my target audience would be most
attracted to. I had to upload the video to
youtube in order to embed it into a blog
post.

8. Prezi and slideshare
 I have used slideshare multiple times through my
evaluation and I have used prezi once. I find them
both very easy to use and they are a fun way of
presenting my evaluation. I think prezi is a really
interesting way of presenting a PowerPoint
because there are a wide range of templates to
choose from.
 Slideshare is a website where you can upload a
PowerPoint.
 Both websites make it easy to embed in a blog
post.
