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

List of technologies i have used and for what

• In design- product and make magazine• Photoshop- edit images • Powerpoint- create documents for my blog• Publisher- preliminary task• Word- create documents for my blog• Slideshare- upload documents• Blogger.com- post my blog• Iphone6 camera- take pictures

Photoshop tools example 1• An example of a tool i used to edit my pictures was curves. Once i had a layer i used

curves to make the background dull so the model was the main focus of the magazine and she stood out. I did this by going on image, adjustments and then curves and messing with the levels. I learnt how to do this online and many magazines like nme magazine as you can see have dark backgrounds which make the artist stand out.

Photoshop tools example 2• Another time i used photoshop was to make my title on

my front cover, i did this is photoshop because i liked the font and i could easily make the title behind my models head. I did this by creating a layer and earasing the part that overlapped the models head.

Indesign tools example 1

I used many tools in indesign but i used text and text outline to make my text go bolder and look thicker in my subscription box.

• I also used the shape tool and made three circles on top of each other to create the label i did on the right.

Research and planning technologies

• I have used slideshare frequently on my blog, this has helped me to create powerpoints that i can upload onto my blog. Without slideshare i would have had to use a different software to use and would not have been able to use microsoft powerpoint.

Research and planning technologies

• Q magazine has helped me and by buying a q magazine it allowed me to see various double page spreads and i could incooperate all ideas to create my new indie/rock magazine double page spread.
