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

 

Through creating my magazine I had to use different technologies and programs such as Adobe Photoshop, Slide Share, Publisher and Survey Monkey. These programs have helped my to create my music magazine.

I used Adobe Photoshop to create my final front cover, contents page and double page spread. It enabled my to edit and change my photos as needed.

I used Publisher to create my College magazines and my mock up front cover, contents page and double page spread. 

 I uploaded all of my research and work on to my blogger account. 

I used the site "slideshare" to upload my power point on to my blog.

To annotate my example front cover, contents page and double page spread. I used Microsoft power point.

To receive some feedback on what sort of magazine would suit my target audience best I used Survey Monkey.

To move my work from my home laptop onto my school computer I used my hotmail account. 

I used Youtube top upload my video responce.

I have also used the photo sharing site flickr to put my photos into a slideshow.

I used Prezi to creating interesting and engaging presentations to help explain elements of my magazine.

I create my magazine on my school computer account as my home laptop did not have the write Photoshop software. However I did a lot of my blogging from my laptop at home.

  Creating my magazine had shown me how to use many different programs that I hadn't used before like Photoshop, Slide Share and Survey Monkey. 

From using these technologies to create my product I have leanrt about the importance of technological convergence in relation to this industry. In order to create a fully functional and successful magazine, you need to be able to use different sorts of technologies. Magazine are now available to access online, this means that your magazine has to have an element of it which isn't available online. For instance my magazine offers the chance to win Beyonce tickets and exclusives that you wouldn't get anywhere else.
