What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
During the media course I have learnt how to use new technologies which have helped me create a realistic and professional looking magazine. To take the images I had to use a professional camera. For this I used a DSSLR 300 Nikon camera. This camera is slightly out of date however it's been used by professional photographers before and I felt the camera was still up to date enough to take images that would be appropriate for my magazine. Using videos online, help from my teachers and peers who were familiar with the camera I was able to find out how to use the camera to produce high quality pictures. I had to learn how to change the shutter speed so that I could control how much lighting went into the picture. This meant when I took pictures of my model on stage I was able to get the perfect lighting to capture the image.
I have access to industry standard technology in my school so I was
able to use In Design and Photoshop C6 to create my magazine. In Design was quite daunting at the beginning of my course as it's a very advanced piece of layout software and being able to use it seemed extremely difficult. To overcome this I had to watch various YouTube tutorials and have private lessons with someone familiar with the program. After this I knew how to use the layout and placement tool to set out the magazine to a professional standard on In Design. I also knew how to use Photoshop to manipulate my images and change the hue and saturation to make them look more vibrant and eye-catching. This also helped with the layering as it was easy to crop out the specific parts that I needed to layer such as the microphone, shadows, and text. I enjoyed laying out the text which was made easier on design as there was more advanced options for manipulating text and shape.
