Question 6:What have you learnt about

technologies from the process of constructing this product?

Photoshop:

The front cover of my music magazine was created on Photoshop so; it was very important that I learn several techniques in order for my magazine to be up to the standard that it is now. I have never used Photoshop before this course; that’s the reason why I found it difficult to use at first; however my skills improved vastly as I feel confident in using it now. I leant several of these skills by searching and watching YouTube videos on how to use as well asking people who know how to use it.

InDesign:

The contents page and double page spread of my music magazine was created on InDesign. I had no idea of how to use InDesign before the beginning of this course however; I believe I have learnt several skills that were clearly shown in my work. I still find InDesign quite difficult to use however considering I only used it for a couple of days, I find it quite acceptable.

Blogger:

Blogger is a very important aspect of my media coursework as this allowed my teachers to see where I’m at with my work and what I need to improve. I found blogger to be very easy to use and I believe I could use this in future; this was because I had already used it before for another piece of work.

Prezi:

I used Prezi in presenting my media evaluation of my music magazine. I felt this was very difficult to use and very time consuming however the work produced was at a high standard. I had encountered Prezibefore from others peoples work however I had never created one. Since I created a number of videos with this, I find it very easy to use now.

Slideshare:

Slideshare is an online software that was used in presenting my media evaluation. I found this really simple and easy to use as I wrote out the answers first and simply copied and pasted it on a presentation, uploaded it onto Slideshare and it was simple created and uploaded onto my blog. This took very little time which is an advantage.

Xtranormal:

Xtranormal is another online software that was used in presenting the answers to my music magazine. I found this quite easy and fun to use as it was interesting hearing the words being converted to sounds. This took very little time also.
