Magazine Evaluation: Question 6 + 7

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product? (Q6)

While working on my magazine, I have learn how to use two different technologies which were Blogger and Photoshop (these two were the main ones). When using Blogger, it made me more responsible to make sure that I display work all my work that I have done for my music magazine. By using this, this helped me make sure that I have all my work in one place and so that it can be easy to organise my work and clearly see what I need to add as I put my plans on there. Also, I did use, Prezi as way to make my presentation look presentable.

When I first started out on Photoshop, I had a very limited use as i could only add a picture and text. As I progressed, I learnt how to use different tools like the "Gradient Tool" to help my make my backgrounds and "Eyedropper Tool" to make sure that I have the correct colours for my scheme. I as continued to make my magazine, I have development my Photoshop skills which has help me improve and construct better version of my front page and contents page.

Looking back at your preliminary task (the continuity editing task), what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to full product? (Q7)

When I first started out, didn't have any knowledge of about music magazine and their conventions, let alone on creating one of own. When we finally got started on everything, I did find it difficult because nothing was going right and when research the conventions of from current magazine cover, some did have them but some didn't I didn't want to screw up. After a while, I started to get into the rhythm of things was apply to take some conventions from existing and apply them to create my own music magazine.  Finally knowing about the convention, I started to improve on my Photoshop skill to create better pieces of quality work as my skills increased. If I was given work again, I do think that I could improve because of the skills the I've picked up. This project has taught me so good skill that I can apply in other project around the Photoshop area. But overall, I do think that I have improved compared to when I just started.
