Q6. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

In the making of my music magazine I learnt things through the process, about how to use Photoshop, different techniques to edit a picture and text. I used a Samsung camera which had a 10.2 mega pixels, which was uses to take all my pictures. As i got closer to the ending of my magazine i felt as if my knowledge of Photoshop had increased and getting thing edited became easier and quicker for me because i was familiar with it all. In order for me to great quality pictures i made sure that my location/ setting of where my pictures would have been taken was good so i would have the best results. Also during the process of my magazine magazine making i used Photoshop CS3 which played a big part of my final product. This form of technology gave me the skills to follow the codes and conventions of making a magazine, making it look realistic enough to be put into shops and to purchase.

In Photoshop CS3, I used it to touch up on my front cover image as well as the other images in the contents page and my double page spread. In order for me to get the perfect image i wanted , I clicked on the select button which gave me the option of modifying, which then gave me another option to feather and from there i picked the amount of pixels that i wanted, which was only 2 pixels because when editing the picture I didn't want it to seem to photo-shopped so that it would look more natural, making it seem as realistic as the other models in the music magazine. 

In order to fully edit the image i had to use  the polygonal tool to capture the areas in which i felt needed to be fixed/ cleaned up.

Another type of technology i used which helped me with the process of making my music magazine was a website called dafont.com this site helped me pick the type of font i wanted to use which would go with the theme of my type of magazine and help me stick with the codes of conventions. The process in which to use it the font whilst being on Photoshop, i had to download it to my home area which it would then appear in the fonts in Photoshop, which i then proceeded to use in the making of my magazine.
