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


During the process of making my music magazine I have used a variety of technologies and software to create my pages.

I used InDesign to create all of my pages, I had practice with this software with my preliminary task before creating my music magazine. However, I had used similar software at GCSE for ICT so I was familiar with some aspects of InDesign before hand. InDesign played a big role in the creation on my Front Cover, Contents page and Double Page Spread. After time I found InDesign quite easy to use and really useful for the process in making my pages.

However, I found it easy to learn to use blogger and after time I found it easier to use. Blogger was helpful throughout the process of my Coursework as I have been able to upload all of my work ready to be marked. I think Blogger helps me to display my work in a neat manner, and makes it look attractive

Photoshop has again been useful during the process of my coursework. I have used Photoshop in order to remove any unwanted backgrounds from my images. This was so that they could be placed onto my pages easily and I could avoid any clutter on my pages. Photoshop helped as I was able to keep a white background for all of my images which helped make my pages look more attractive.



Image result for prezi logoI need ways to display my work. Prezi was one way of display my work as it was an attractive way of displaying my work. I hadn't used Prezi before so it was again new to me. I found Prezi hard to use at the start but after doing a few of them. I liked using prezi to display my work as it looked attractive and neat. I used Prezi for so of my evaluation and for my preliminary task.

Another way to display my work is through SlideShare. To use SlideShare I firstly had to create a PowerPoint then upload it SlideShare. I found this easy to use as I had used PowerPoint many times before hand so it was a quick and easy method and made my work look attractive.


Image result for fujifilm cameraTo take my pictures I used a Fujifilm Camera. This was new technology to me as I hadn't used a camera like this before. It was useful to me however as it made images look attractive.
