Evaluation

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of

constructing this product?

I have used the internet to find out what are the convections of a magazines. I have also looking at magazines like Q to get some inspiration and design of what my magazine will look like.

For my production stages I have use Photoshop to create my magazine front cover, contents page and double page spread. As I do photography I am able to efficiently use Photoshop with no problems at all. For the photo-shoot for the images on the magazines I have use a Nikon 1 and a Canon DSLR camera during the photo-shoot; this gave a high quality photo for the production.

For my evaluation stage I have found multiple of resources to evaluate this project. the technologies I have used for my evaluations are: Prezi, goanimate, slideshare etc…

WHICH TECHNOLOGIES HAVE YOU HAVE USED FOR YOUR RESEARCH PLANNING, PRODUCTION AND EVALUATION STAGES OF YOUR PRODUCT?

The internet is so vast with many information that we can easily get, I use it because I can get a broad view of what kind of magazine I want. Looking at multiple magazines and what I have more of a knowledge of I have chosen pop as the genre of my magazine. Using

the internet I will look up at convections of a pop magazine which I could include in my magazine. For

my production I use Photoshop because I have a good knowledge of it therefore I am able to easily create a magazine. I have use a DLSR camera because it gives

high quality picture sand there are many settings where I am able to change it too to suit the situation. Using multiple of technologies for my evaluation has

made easier and more creative to do instead of writing an essay that’s why it has been very useful for

me.

These technologies have been useful as it has help me complete the task that was set for us to complete. The

technologies that I have use has help me find the information that is need to complete this task. It has also help me complete the task easily as I have the knowledge

and information on how to use these. Using a DLSR camera was very useful as it will be able to take high quality pictures meaning I won’t have to edit the pictures to

improve on it. Using multiple of these technologies for my evaluation stage was useful as I could evaluate my work in

a more creative way and that it won’t be as boring as reading a essay.

WHY HAVE THESE BEEN USEFUL?

During this period of time I have developed a few skills for example I have learnt the skills that was

needed to create this magazines. These skills will help me in the future my subject as photography. My skills

in taking portraiture have improved a lot as I don’t usually shoot portraiture but more cityscapes and

wildlife. There was some new skills I have developed in Photoshop for example I have never use he crop tool

before until now. These skills I have learnt will definitely help me whenever I use Photoshop. Another skill I have developed is working as a team to support each other when your in need of help. Working as part of a team would mean that the task will be complete a lot quicker as two heads are better than one they say.

WHICH NEW SKILLS HAVE YOU DEVELOPED? HOW HAVE THESE BEEN HELPFUL?

To help further develop my skills I would need to have more in-depth knowledge of the technologies that I am

using currently for this project; for example in Photoshop, getting more advance information would

mean that my task of creating a music magazine would have been a lot easier to complete and would help the

way the whole magazine would look.

To further improve on my photography skills would be having more practice when taking pictures. There are

little room for improvements as I have quite a good knowledge on magazines and also I know how to use

Photoshop meaning when creating the magazine I didn’t have to worry about what will this do?

IF YOU HAD TO MAKE ANOTHER MUSIC MAGAZINE, WHAT WOULD HELP FURTHER DEVELOP YOUR USE OF

TECHNOLOGY?
