Question six: What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing

this product?

During this coursework I have used a lot of different soft

wares. The only ones I have used before is Microsoft word

and powerpoint. I used them to plan and organise my

work to get the best possible result.

In the process of constructing this product I have learned a lot! The

process started with learning how to set up my blog in WordPress

where I could post all the things within the product. When I was

making an audience research I learned how to make a survey using

SurveyMonkey.

I had never used Photoshop or InDesign before in my entire life, but I

have learned how to use it in a good enough way that I could make a

readerprofile and my final product which contained a front cover,

contents page and double page spread. The reason I have never used

these photo programmes is because I have never had the subject or

anything related to it in Norway before.

Through this coursework I have learned more about social media. How easy it is to make a blog, and make blog posts. How to put a PowerPoint- or word document into the blog by using the webpage called slide share. Everything is more easy with the help of social media, and without exaggerating, I couldn't do half of this coursework without the internet.

When I started using Photoshop I did not know where to start at all,

but after some time it got easier and easier. I learned that to edit

different things in my project I had to create different layers, and

the way I created each layer was by right clicking and then creating

a new layer. I also used the polygon lasso tool a lot, that helped me

make thinks look better and more professional.

Survey Monkey

While I was working with my market

research I used the webpage Survey

Monkey to make a questionnaire

about my audience. I did not know

how to do this, but it was easy and a

good way to get a lot of responses in a

short amount of time.

InDesignAdobe InDesign is a software which can be used to

create works such as posters, flyers, brochures, magazines, newspapers and books. In this case I used InDesign to make a double page spread to my magazine. I learned how to use the programme, and how to make the different columns and how to make a drop capital in the beginning of the article.
