Question 6
What have you learned about the technologies from the
process of constructing this product?
During the planning and production of my media product, I
used technologies such as: Adobe Photoshop
Slideshare
Quarkxpress
Blogger.com
Digital SLR Camera
Adobe Photoshop
Adobe Photoshop allowed me to manipulate photographs that I had taken and be more creative with my
product. I am very familiar with Photoshop, and have used it before, so I used it to create my front cover and contents page. Photoshop allows you
to be a lot more free with images because it is a program specific to
that. I have been able to blend images into one another using Photoshop, and also select people within the image to
leave the background behind.

Quark Express
Quark Express is a more unfamiliar program to me, and so it was difficult to use during the production process-
I used it to design my double page spread. I don’t really understand and like this program, maybe because I’m
unfamiliar to it, but I found it confusing and I couldn’t be as free and creative as I wanted. It was a
good program to use for layout design and setting everything in the right
place, but when it comes to pictures and fun elements, it wasn’t the best.

Blogger.com
Blogger was the best way to document and keep track of my progression through Media. It is a great site to use, I could refer back to previous
blogs of work, edit them, manipulate them and keep a steady track of
what I was doing easily.

my blogs.
Slideshare
This was a great site to enable questions like these on PowerPoint,
to become a series of slides that others can view on my blog. It was simple to use, with an easy process.
This is a screenshot of one of
my questions.
Through using all of these programs, I have developed new skills and
learned more things about each one.
