Question 6

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

Throughout constructing this product I have managed to utilise many different technologies. I have used programmes such as, InDesign to put my page together, Photoshop to create different components to include on my music magazine.

InDesign allowed me to create my magazine, to make it look professional and ordered. I have learnt that you can make a very specific colour scheme, by using the colour picker, and using that to create effects on pictures, shaped and type. Photoshop allowed me to create a sticker, to attract the importance of the interview, and my masthead and logo, to add in the colours to the font.

I have also progressed in the picture taking and editing, as you have to use professional settings, and the correct lighting to create the desired look of the images used in my magazine, also to uploading and formatting the photos on different programmes to create the desired effects.

Using these programmes allowed my outcome to be professional and clean cut, as it allowed me to add effects to add interest on many different components.

This has not only allowed me to see how the technologies are used throughout the magazine industry, and consider them in my work, but also to see the importance of these technologies. 

In the magazine industry the use of the high tech programmes, allow the companies to create their pages fast, accurately and produce many different variations with ease. This allows the creating of the magazines to be done much more professionally and can meet short deadlines, without having to compromise on the preference or briefs, as the pages are easily tweaked, and can create many variations and make a preferred judgement, to the best outcome for the magazine.
