Evaluation- Question 6



}This is for my evaluation on Question 6. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

The three products I have used to construct my product are: Photoshop, indesign and a digital camera.
Initially, to create my magazine front cover, I used adobe Photoshop and for my double page spread and contents page used indesign. To be able to take my images for my product, I used a digital camera called DSLR this will allow me to get the highest resolution of photographs to use in my magazine.

In addition, using Photoshop for my magazine front cover, as a result before I started this project I was aware of the basic usage of Photoshop , however using this more in-depth I have learnt how to add effects to my images and make the text appear more bolder. This allowed my masthead and main image to stand out. I used the magnetic lasso tool to cut out my image and eliminate the wall background behind the artist in the image and then merged them onto my magazine front cover layout. I then used the polygonal lasso tool as a blur effect for the edges to fade some parts of the image for example my artists hair.

Furthermore, I used indesign to produce my contents page and double page spread, this was the first time I have ever used this platform to create a product. I have learnt many techniques about indesign; especially how to place images and import text from a word document onto the three columned layout. These columns helped a lot with the layout structure to become perfected as they acted as a guideline, also t would need to be very similar to an already produced contents page. With the double page spread it had two columns split; this also follows the conventions of a music magazine. As a result indesign was the best platform to fabricate these products.

Moreover, to take my images throughout all my final products I used a digital camera; this helped me make each aspect of my project better containing many unique images. I previously have knowledge of how to use a camera which made it easy to follow the instructions; as I learnt how to zoom into taking a picture and record. However, the only problem I faced was trying to get the best quality picture in order to make it look professional as possible.
