Evaluation Question 6- What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

What I have learnt about TECHNOLOGIES from the process of constructing this product is that my research has to match my product in order for it to be applicable to the public. I have used the internet to search for different magazine to put it onto my BLOGGER.Through the intenet I have tried to secure that I have sufficient information for me to create my original idea. Having this information has helped me with the creation of my product. It also took me a while to grasp ‘blogger’ but I have practised and explored to enhance my use of it.

In addition, I had used Adobe InDesign for the preliminary task however it has still been a challenge trying to create a masterpiece as there were certain effects that I wanted to create that I did not know to. Therefore I decided to play around the tools and use InDesign  to create my front cover, contents page and double page spread. I had to play with different fonts to decide what would best suit my product as certain fonts appeareed to soft or too harsh and I wanted a font that was in between. I also had to use different colour swatches to blend with the feel of my magazine. Lastly I used different effects on the fonts to make it stand out or blend with the background colour or image.

I also used  ADOBE PHOTOSHOP to edit my pictures. I used various layers to create a particular look for example to add more hair to my models head. I also used the clone tool to give a flawless appearance to the face. I needed some assistance initially but have become more familiar with how to use the tools effectively on my own with practice. I also used the lasso tool which is very effective with the use of opacity and the HARSHNESS of the brush.I feel more self-reliant to use it in the future due to the process of contstructing my product.
