From this task I have learnt how to use Photoshop. Before this task I had never used it before and I have learned many of the basic tools. I have also learned how to use blogger to display my work. It have also taught me how to use my time efficiently in order to meet a deadline.
How have you used technology?
I used Photoshop to make the college magazine I used Photoshop because there are many layers to a magazine so using Photoshop makes it easier to edit each layer. Photoshop also makes it more precise to edit each image/layer. I also used publisher to do my contents page, this was because its better to use for text boxes and simple layouts. I used my blog in order to show all of my work and progress.
I used a Panasonic DMC-FZ7 digital camera to take my photos and i used it on 6 megapixels.
What conventions have you used and why?
On my magazine i used the following conventions
- Masthead- To tell the reader what they are buying
- Main Image- To attract a reader to the front cover and to go along with the main feature of the magazine
- Plug- This is to attract the reader by telling them they can have a chance of winning something
- Bar code and Issue number
- Features- To tell the reader whats inside the magazine without them having to look through the whole contents
What would you change if you were to do this task again?
If I were to do this task again I would of taken more pictures to choose from. This would of meant having a bigger variety to work with and compare how well they went with the rest of the magazine.
I would also of taken the image in a different location so that i didn't have to place the image onto a separate background. This would of made the image look more natural.
