1. Evaluation Question 6
What have you learnt about technologies from the process of
constructing this product?

2. Photoshop
 I have broadened my understanding of the tools available
on Photoshop that helped me create my magazine and
make it look more professional
 Before I created my product I could only use the simple
tools on Photoshop. Now I am able to use the more
complex tools to edit the appearance of pictures and the
layout of my magazine
 I can use layers properly to organise the layout of my
magazine. I created a new layer of my models hair to
enable me to make it appear my mast head was behind
her

3. InDesign
 InDesign was a piece of software I was unfamiliar with
when I created my preliminary product. It turned out to be
a very useful program that allowed me to create my
contents page and double page spread with the use of
columns.
 I could import .psd documents into InDesign which is what
I did for my front cover so any changes I made to my
magazine cover on Photoshop were applied in InDesign

4. Camera
 I have developed skills that allowed me to capture
professional looking images of my models. The pictures
were in focus by the use of the zoom function
 The quality of the camera really helped me capture some
good images to use in my magazine. The camera I used had
a high megapixel and also automatically focused onto
objects it could see

5. Blogspot
 Blogspot has been very useful as it has allowed me to keep
a record of all my work from the research and planning
stages of my product to the creation
 It has allowed me to keep any evidence I need and in a
very organised way in one place
 I can embed codes into my blog posts such as from Prezi
which is a good way to present research and also to
answer evaluation questions

6. Prezi
 Prezi is an internet service I used to present my research. It
allowed me to create a mind map to store all my ideas and
things that I found out when looking at existing magazines
 I found out that you can put images in and videos to reflect
your research further
 I used arrows to point the parts of the image that I was
talking about
 It is an alternative to PowerPoint that allows you to view
everything at once without having to go from slide to slide
– ideal for recording research as I did
