MAIN TASK.Question 4: What have your learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

By Adam Bath

• This digital camera is my own personal camera, that I use at home.

• I used this digital camera for the taking of my photographs for my music magazine

• I chose this camera, because I wanted pictures of the highest quality

• Having high quality images will mean that I will not need to edit the photo as much to make it look good for my music magazine.

• Digital Camera Images take images in high resolutions, adding higher quality

• In this task, I learnt how to take good shots using this camera such as the Medium Close-up, which I used in my music magazine the most, as well as other shots such as medium shots and close-ups.

• I had used Adobe Photoshop briefly before doing my task, however hadn’t used the features on it to it’s fullest

• For producing my main task, I used Adobe Photoshop.

• As Photoshop is a professional photo editing software, it will make my music magazine look like a real music magazine

• I learnt that Photoshop allows me to add filters to my images to make the images more vibrant, more exposed and make the image more bright

• I also learnt that Photoshop also allows me to whiten their teeth, change their eye colour, change their hair colour, to make them look like a person that would be in a music magazine.

• I really enjoyed using Photoshop and the knowledge I got from using it in this course, will possibly help with similar tasks in the future.

• Before this task, I had never used Prezi before. However, it was recommended to me, due to it being an innovative way to show my work.

• I used Prezi to make some of my presentations for my blog.

• Prezi allowed me to make a customisable presentation, with special designs and animations

• Also, it is easy to embed my Prezi presentation into my blog.

• However, I personally found it hard to use Prezi over other software such as PowerPoint, so I don’t think I used all the features it has to offer.

• Some of the problems I experienced included, not knowing how to add new slides, which was a bit of an issue for me.

• For my blog, I had to learn the blog that I would be hosting all the work I did in this task

• On this blog, I had to learn to customise the menus on the blog, so that my work was split neatly

• Also, I learnt how to customise my blog to suit me, such as adding an image header to my blog as well

• However, the blogs did experience issues during my time working with them, as they were closed for maintenance on some days.
