2. DAFONT
I USED DAFONT TO MAKE MY
FONTS MORE INTERESTING
AND APPEALING TO MY
TARGET AUDIENCE. I HAVE
LEARNED HOW TO CHOOSE A
CLEAR FONT THAT IS ALSO
APPEALING AND HOW TO
DOWNLOAD IT SO IT CAN BE
USED IN PHOTOSHOP

3. PHOTOSHOP
I USED PHOTOSHOP TO EDIT MY
PICTURES AND TO CREATE THE
ENTIRE MEDIA PRODUCT. BEFORE
STARTING THIS PRODUCT, I HAD A
VERY LIMITED KNOWLEDGE OF HOW
TO USE PHOTOSHOP HOWEVER, I
CAN NOW USE THE VARIOUS TOOLS
SUCCESSFULLY TO MAKE THE
PRODUCT APPEAR TO BE
PROFESSIONAL AND ATTRACTIVE TO
MY TARGET AUDIENCE. I HAVE ALSO
LEARNED HOW TO CHANGE THE
COLOURS IN PHOTOS DURING
EDITING AND HOW TO REMOVE
BACKGROUNDS FROM THE IMAGE
SO THE FOCAL POINT IS WHERE I
INTEDED IT TO BE.

4. PHOTOSHOP TOOLS
THIS IS THE SMUDGE TOOL WHICH I HAVE USED IN THE PROCESS OF
CREATING MY MAGAZINE. I USED THIS AROUND THE OUTSIDE OF THE
MODEL TO MAKE IT APPEAR AS THOUGH THE BACKGROUND OF THE
IMAGE WAS ORIGINALLY BLACK RATHER THAN HAVING BEEN
CROPPED OUT PREVIOUSLY.
THIS IS THE PICKER TOOL WHICH I USED MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN
CREATING MY MAGAZINE TO MAKE SURE IT LOOKED PROFESSIONAL
AND CONTINUOUS. THE TOOL ALLOWED ME TO PICK THE SAME
COLOUR THROUGHOUT THE MAGAZINE, MAKING SURE IT WAS EXACT.
THE MAGNETIC LASSO TOOL WAS USED MUTLIPLE TIMES WHEN
CREATING MY MAGAZINE. I MAINLY USED IT FOR THE FRONT COVER
AS I DIDN’T WANT TO HAVE AN IMAGE AS A BACKGROUND INSTEAD
OF A BLOCK COLOUR. THIS TOOL ALLOWED ME TO ACCURATELY
SEPARATE THE SUBJECT FROM THE BACKGROUND OF THE
DOMINANT IMAGE.
THE TEXT TOOL WAS FEATURED A LOT IN THE CREATION PROCESS AS
IT ALLOWED ME TO ADD ALL OF THE TEXT THROUGHOUT MY
MAGAZINE. IT ALSO ALLOWED ME TO MAKE THE MAGAZINE LOOK
INTERESTING AND APPEALING FROM THE VARIOUS FONTS.

5. BLOGGER
BEFORE STARTING THIS PRODUCT I HAD
NEVER USED BLOGGER PERSONALLY.
HOWEVER, I NOW KNOW HOW TO UPLOAD
POSTS AND CHANGE THE TIMES AND DATES
THAT THE POSTS WERE UPLOADED. THIS
ALLOWED ME TO KEEP TRACK ON TIME
MANAGEMENT AND TO DISPLAY THIS EASILY
FOR MY MAGAZINE. I ALSO KNOW HOW TO
EMBED A LINK ONTO THE POST SO IT CAN BE
SEEN STRAIGHT AWAY RATHER THAN
HAVING A LINK THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE
CLICKED IN ORDER TO SEE THE POST SO
EMBEDDING THE POST IS A QUICKER WAY
TO VIEW THE POST. USING BLOGGER HAS
ENABLED ME TO BE ABLE TO ORGANISE MY
IDEAS NEATLY WHICH HAS ALLOED ME TO
EASILY IDENTIFY THE PROGRESS I MADE
WITH MY MAGAZINE.

6. MEDIA RICH
SLIDES IS A
PROGRAMME VERY
SIMILAR TO
SLIDESHARE AS IT
INCLUDES A CLEAR
WAY TO PRESENT
INFORMATION.
ALTHOUGH IT DOES
NOT PUBLISH
POWERPOINTS, IT
DOES PUBLISH ITS
OWN VERSION WHICH
CAN BE CREATED ON
THE WEBSITE.
POWTOON IS AN
INTERESTING AND FUN
WAY TO UPLOAD THE
REQUIRED INFORMATION
TO MY BLOG. IT HAS
MADE MY BLOG LOOK
INTERESTING AND GIVES
IT A VARIETY OF
DIFFERENT MEDIA RICH
PROGRAMMES. I NOW
HAVE A NEW WAY OF
HAVING AN INTERESTING
WAY TO DISPLAY MY
INFORMATION ABOUT
THE CREATION OF MY
MAGAZINE.
SLIDESHARE HAS
ENABLED ME TO
UPLOAD POWERPOINTS
THAT I HAVE CREATED.
THIS HAS MADE MY
BLOG LOOK TIDY AND
ORGANISED. IT HAS
ALSO ADDED AN
INTEREST TO MY BLOG
AS IT IS A MEDIA RICH
PROGRAMME THAT
LOOKS BOTH
ATTRACTIVE AND
PROFESSIONAL AT THE
SAME TIME.
USING PREZI HAS
ALLOWED ME TO MAKE
PRESENTATIONS LOOK
MORE INTERESTING
BUT THEY ARE
ATTRACTIVE AND
ORGANISED AT THE
SAME TIME. I NOW
KNOW HOW TO USE AN
ONLINE WEBSITE TO
SHOW MY IDEAS AND
PLANS FOR MY WORK
IN AN ORGANISED AND
CREATIVE WAY.
