Q6 Evaluation Draft

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

Computer- I used a computer available at school during my media lessons and also in my study periods at school as well as my own time using my computer at home to construct my magazine and blog.

Adobe Photo shop - This is the editing software that is available on the computers in the media rooms and also on other computers around the school. This was the programme i used to construct my magazine and the tools on there helped me create the effect i wanted to produce on my magazine. During the preliminary task i was unsure on how to use photoshop correctly, but after that stage I began to feel comfortable using it.

Microsoft Office Word 2010- I used this programme to construct my double page spread to make sure that all the spelling was correct due to the fact there is no spell check on photoshop. It also enabled me to keep a word count on my work aswell as helping with the structure of the article.

Memory Stick- I used this to transfer all the photos that i had taken onto my computer and then onto photoshop so that i could try different photos on my magazine to see which one i thought looked best.

Camera- I used a camera to take all the photos that i needed for my magazine. Although it may not have been the highest quality camera i thought that i produced some good photos using the camera, that worked well on my magazine.

AVS Room- This is the room i used to take my photos and with the white background the room has i thought that was the perfect room to use for my magazine as it fits in well with the colour pallette. The lighting in that room is also very good although when i took my pictures one of the lights had broken so i had to try and sought out the lighting to make the photos still look good. 

Tripod- I used this to make sure the camera was steady so that i could produce the best possible photos i could, it also helped with the type of camera shot i wanted to take.

UK Tribes- I used this website to research different types of target markets for my magazine. The website was very helpful as it gave me a selection of groups and what their interests were.
