Evaluation Questions: 4 What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

One example of technology that I used in the process to create my product is Adobe Photoshop which allowed me to uniquely edit my photos to how I wanted them such steps that I took when editing my photos differed from easy techniques like improving the brightness  to moderately hard techniques like using the clone stamp to remove any imperfections that I didn't want. 

The Photos to the right shows the before and after of my editing within Photoshop that I did to create my front cover photo and as you can see there has been a lot of editing put in place to create the effect I was looking for. I used such tools like the burn tool which allowed me to give the bruise effect on my models because I wanted them to look intimidating rather than three band boys acting up for the camera. Also because of Photoshop I was able to add a police back board through adding a new layer and sending it to the back to add to the overall effect however it made the photo look unrealistic so I decided to add shadows to my three models and edited the whole pictures lighting and contrast so that both the photo and police board would contrast well together.

 

 

Another example of technology that I included in my creation of my magazine is Adobe InDesign which is a professional software that is a widely-used program for page composition, design and production. It is usually used by graphic artists and digital publishers choose InDesign when they want creative control in manipulating page elements, mainly text and images, in single or multipage documents.

Within my work it allowed me to set out all the of magazine to how I wanted it in my mock up so it really contributed to constructing my end magazine product which I wouldn't of been able to do without the software.

The last technology I used to produce my product is Blogger, which allowed me to publish all my magazines production step by step from the beginning not knowing much about software's to the end hopefully producing a high quality product.

If I did not discover these technologies I wouldn't of been able to produce my product and also I wouldn't of been able to learn about the software's and produce a music magazine to a possible professional standard.
