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

2. Photoshop I have used Photoshop to create my front cover. I have learnt how to use the blending options tool in which I have used on my front cover to emphasise the mast head as I have put a drop-shadow behind and have coloured it red which is a vibrant colour. I have also used the blending options tool to add a stroke effect to my cover lines which makes it stand out more on the page and add a professional effect. 3. I have also used the shape tool on photoshop to create the shape behind my main cover line, I drew a rectangular box and then cut into the sides in an arrow shape to create the box that I used. Also I have used the text tool to add the content to my front cover and then used the specific tools such as to make the text bigger, change the font, increase and decrease the line spacing and the space between the letters and the words. I have used the dodge and burn tool to edit my cover stars face and hair. I have used the dodge tool to brighten areas of her face and the burn tool to darken areas. 4. Quark I used the text tool to input my text content onto my double page spread and contents page. I used the box tool to add the black boxes behind the heading feature, regular content, win, gig guide and posters. This emphasised the headings on the page so that they stood out more than the other text on the page, this makes it easier for the reader to find what they want. I have used Quark to create my contents page and double page spread. The main tool that I used on quark was the text tool, box tool and photo box to import a photograph. I also added columns to my page so that all the text was an even spacing apart and so that all of my contents fit neatly on the page. 5. Cannon DSLR I used a Cannon DSLR camera to take my photographs for my front cover, contents page and double page spread. I have learnt how to used the zoom on the camera to zoom in and out of my shots which produced a variety of shots for me to choose from. I also learnt how to use the auto- focus which helped me take clear professional photographs. 6. Blogger, Prezi and slideshare Throughout my coursework I have used various online resources which are Blogger, Prezi, Dafont and slideshare. I have used Blogger to document my coursework and to compile it all in one place to be moderated when it is finished. My preliminary work has also been uploaded to my blog and I can now compare this to my media magazine work to see what I have improved on. I have used Prezi to create an professional looking online power point to create my double spread analysis. I used Dafont to download fonts onto Photoshop and Quark in which I then used in creating my front cover, contents page and double page spread. To upload my power point to blogger I used Slideshare to retrieve the embed code, I then imputed it into the html of my post on Blogger. 7.
