Evaluation Question 6



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

I used a lot of software and equipment that were useful and played vital parts in helping my media product progess. The technologies I used in this project were...

• Amstrad computers (at school)
• Adobe Photoshop CS4
• Adobe InDesign CS4
• Nikon D5100 SLR Camera
• Internet



Adobe Photoshop/ Adobe In Design

I used Adobe Photoshop for all my images because I find it easy to manipulate images on this type of Adobe software then using Adobe In Design.







I have learnt how to use most of the basic elements on Adobe In design, I won't lie and say I found it easy but the challenge was worth while after my final product was finally submitted. As I struggled to cope with the effects and making the product look professional whilst using this software. However, I learnt a lot from the preliminary task which helped me to not get confused with the layers on Adobe In design.






I learnt how important it is to get the basic conventions constructed a month before the deadline because that way I would have had plenty of time to amend things that don't fit the conventions of a music magazine or things that don't stand out enough to be brand filling as well as attract my target audience.









Nikon D5100 SLR Digital Camera




I borrowed a camera from my friend to do most of my photography for this media project. The reasons why I wanted to use a camera like this was because of the high quality pictures it takes and because i wanted my images to be at the best standard possible. The different settings on this camera are fantastic and I enjoyed experimenting and figuring out which setting was best for each shot.



Internet

During this whole process at every stage the internet has played a massive part especially when I was researching Hip Hop magazines that are currently being published. The most popular search engine that I used was Google and this helped me hugely as I am a custom to using the site and know all the aspects about it.

Another site I used was YouTube to upload a video for my evaluation.
