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

For the process of constructing my magazine I have a used a number of different programmes for a number of different functions, firstly I used the college apple Macs to do the majority of my work on. I used a Samsung digital camera to take photos for use in my magazine. 

I used a memory stick to transfer work I had completed on other computers, such as my laptop at home, to move onto my apple Mac at college. 

During my creation process I used two new programmes that I had never used before, Adobe InDesign and Adobe Photoshop.

 I only used a small minority of the tools on Photoshop in order to create the sketchy background and to edit some of my photos. However I learnt to use a large range of the tools on the InDesign programme which helped me greatly with the process. I also created a blog account to record my processes on for my coursework using the website ‘Blogger’. 

In order to create some slideshows to upload onto my blog I used the Microsoft PowerPoint programme and then went on to use the Slide share website in order for me to be able to upload my slideshow onto my blog, both of which I have used previously to this project. 

In addition to this I also used the website ‘Survey Monkey’ to produce a questionnaire to obtain audience feedback on my original design ideas.
