What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
During the first media lesson of the year i had no past experience using a mac. I learnt how to use shortcuts and hotkeys to carry out task quicker and easier. The program we used to create our magazine was In-Design. I had never used In-Design before so all the tools were new to me. One of the most important things i learnt about these new technologies was how to wrap text around and image or shape. I used this technique to make the text wrap around background images on my double page spread and to place images into the middle of text.
To edit alot of the images on my magazine i used Photoshop. Photoshop helped me create the right shapes for my images and even helped me create the logo for my magazine. On Photoshop I had to outline a picture of a guitar then fill it with a colour then drag it onto my In-desgin page. I learnt how to create different shapes by creating edit points and dragging them out to create my desired shape.
To publish our coursework we used Blogger. I have never used a Blog before so I was new to creating posts and edditing them although the style and layout helps alot as it works almost like a diary so all of my work is kept organised. Technologies are very important when producing a piece of media as with every new product innovations need to be made to keep audiences interested and for the magazine to be able to relate to the audience.
