What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
Cameras:
In order to achieve high quality pictures I used a standard SLR camera; which is a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28. Although this wasn’t a really expensive SLR camera to use, it was easy to use as it was my own camera, therefore I knew how all of the settings worked.

Computers:
I mainly used the school computers as they are installed with all of the editing software needed to create a successful magazine. They run much faster on my laptop at home, however I do have Photoshop at home, which allowed me to work more at home than at school.

Lighting:
I used two light boxes to make the quality of my photos better, but to also eliminate any traces of shadows that can occur when using flash photography, etc.

Flickr:
I used flickr to download most of my camera roll and present them in a professional way. This way I could see all of the test shots and final shots and compare them in quality and potential.

Animoto:
I used animoto at the start of my research and planning. I created a 25 word pitch which included some of the ideas and themes that I would like to occur within the magazine.

Blogger:
Blogger was probably one of the most used technology during the process of the making of my magazine. This was because I updated the blog whenever I had inspiration and ideas. I also included presentations, images and pictures that I had taken along with some feedback from fellow peers and teachers.

Microsoft Word:
I used this word processing software to spell check all of my work and to write up my double page spread to see the word count so I could plan the positioning of the double page spread.

  1. don't forget to include how animoto was useful.
    Also, the internet was essential to you in your research and planning to look at artist/band websites, look at magazine covers, contents and double page spread, use DA FONT etc You can expand on these.
    Did you use any particular settings on your camera for shots?
