I used Adobe Photoshop to make my music magazine’s front cover and editing the photos on my contents and double page spread. I used many effects on photos and text to make it suitable for my target audience. Also, the effect on Photoshop were easy to use and had very clear results meaning my product was enticing and looked professional. For example, drop shadow made my text grab the readers attention and the healing tool gave the bands are model like finish. On other programmes I doubt there would have been such a wide range of techniques I could have used to make my magazine look like a real music magazine.

Adobe Photoshop

InDesign • I used Adobe InDesign to make my

contents page and double page spread. Adobe InDesign gave me the ability to set out my contents and double page spread in a professional way which was simple to use. Also, I was able to put frames around text and pictures to help them stand out against the background. Although I could not have edited images in InDesign it was very easy to place my edited images from Photoshop to my contents and double page spread.

Blogger• I used blogger.com to publish all my work on one easy

webpage. It enabled me to see the progress of my work and then make relevant changes. Blogger.com allowed me to show different IT skills and publish my work from other websites such as Prezi, Scribd and SlideShare through the use of embed codes. I updated my own personal blog on blogger.com every time I had completed a new task from the task booklet.
