Evaluation 6.

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

Throughout the process of creating my magazine i was able to use a lot of different technology, i knew the basics of technology but i was able to learn more skills to a bigger advantage to be able to complete the tasks that were needed to be completed. I completed majority of the tasks on an Apple Mac computer as photoshop was available to use to edit my photos to fit my front cover, contents page and double page spread.

To take all my photos during my photo shoot i used a Canon camera. Although i thought the camera was going to be simple and easy to use, i did have to learn certain things to complete the photo shoot successfully. Such as; choosing the right setting, getting the correct lighting, angles and most importantly, how to get the best images.

             Here i am showing through a screenshot the work that i have produced through photoshop. Before i started the course, i didn't know how to use photoshop or how to edit any pictures to a high standard. Whilst creating my magazine i haven't only learnt how to use simple techniques on photoshop, i have learnt how to edit pictures, add text, using blending options, contrast of pictures, adding several pictures onto the same page and how to add several layers to make it easier to edit my work throughout my time to change things and correct. I have learnt quicker techniques and different ways to present my work in an advanced way.
