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

The technologies I have used to make my magazine have helped me to create and evaluate my music magazine design to good effect I used technologies in research and planning, Photoshop and my evaluation.

The most important form of technology used for my coursework has to be Blogger because over time I have learnt different techniques such as how to upload videos and power points but also images.

Compact cameras have also helped me to take my photos of my artists because they have taken accurate mega-pixels to help me edit the photos with a nice clear image.

Power points which I have uploaded to slide-share has also been another type of technology used to help me a lot with my research and planning but also with some of my evaluations.

The technologies used in my research and planning were useful such as survey monkey a survey website for my audience research survey because it gave me good results as it put my data into bar charts which help me analyse the audience results.

In Photoshop I used the magnetic lasso tool as well as the magic wand tool to make edits to my magazine pages. These Photoshop tools mainly helped me when I was creating my front cover page because that is the page that in my opinion needed the most editing to it. This is because the front cover was the main page that my audience of my magazine was going to see I used my initiative to make the cover page attractive but also to stick to conventions by having it follow a certain colour scheme that most hip hop magazine pages follow and "Ctrl-T" whiles holding the ''shift'' button down at the same time so that the images do not lose their shape.

Dafont is another source of technology which helped greatly with my magazine because it was used a lot for the text of my magazine. I also mainly stuck to one type of text as shown in the image below.
