Evaluation: Question 6
What have you learnt about new technologies from the process of constructing this product?
The main software I have used for the creation of my pages is Adobe InDesign. I used InDesign for the creation of my three 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.
Blogger also played a huge part in my coursework development. I had never used Blogger before starting my coursework, so I was completely new to the software. 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
I 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.
To 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.
A final piece of technology which I used was a laptop and Internet explorer. I used a laptop in order to create my pages and the internet in order to complete my research into current magazines on the market and what would look good in a magazine.
During the process of making my music magazine I have used a variety of technologies and software to create my pages.
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.
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.
