Evaluation Question 6


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




Conclusion
I have used a lot of new equipment and sites when making and researching my magazine. I have learnt a lot about of the use of photoshop where I learnt about layers and the rubber tool which allowed me to layer. I learnt that you can download fonts onto photoshop which meant I could make a more creative magazine. Photoshop has taught me about different tools, for example the megnetic lasso tool which was really easy to use and before I found hard to use. I have found out how to use Microsoft word in a better way as I now know that you can embed it on your blog through scirbd and the same for powerpoint but through photoshop, this allowed me to make my work more creative and allowed me to add arrows and annotate images. I have learnt about Iphoto aswell and the use of editing in Iphoto and making my models face look clearer and changing the effects of the image and the colours etc. I have also learnt about the use of mac as I got it for media and it helped me a lot with my research and planning. I have also learnt more skills in paint, although I was quite good at it but I have learnt that you can change font to make it more unique, for example my header, I added the arrow to it to make it more unique. Through the photography stages of media I have learnt more ways of using the camera in a better way and you can see this with the differences in my test shots and final shots as my test shots werent as clear and didn't stand out of the page as much as my final shots. Before media, I couldn't use photoshop at all which meant that all my photoshop skills I have used have been learnt in my magazine, I have learnt a lot about photoshop, I have learnt that you can use a lot of skills through the use of photoshop.
