WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNT ABOUT TECHNOLOGIES FROM THE PROCESS OF CONSTRUCTION THIS PRODUCT?

TIME MANAGEMENT

This can be difficult to stay on schedule when using technology because it may freeze, there may be problems with saving work or the server could go down. This means that it can be difficult to work on constructing the magazine which may then have an effect on other tasks.

RESEARCH AND PLANNING

Technology helped a lot with the research side of the work because everything is so easily accessible. Any information needed can be found very quickly and planning can be made a lot easier also because you have so many other resources to refer to and see what works well.

CREATIVITY

There are many things which can be done with technology so if something doesn’t work well, it can be tried out on different programmes and you can see which works best with what it is that you’re trying to do.

DEMONSTRATION AND EMPOWERMENT

Using professional software like Photoshop and InDesign is helpful because you are much more able to get a finished product which has a professional finish and looks much better than something done without using this kind of software.

INTERNET RESOURCES

YouTube and DaFont have been very helpful resources in the process. I have been using YouTube a lot to see how to do certain things on Photoshop and I have used DaFont to get different fonts for throughout the magazine, all of which were free to use and are or a very good quality.
