 Adobe Photoshop CS5
 I opened my original image on
Original Image
Adobe Photoshop CS5. I then
unlocked the background by
copying it, and then deleting the
original copy.
 By using the magnetic tool, I cut
out my image. I zoomed into my
picture by pressing “Ctrl +” for
the difficult parts. When my
image was fully cut out I right
clicked and pressed select

inverse. This selected the
background, which I then
deleted.
 By pressing new, I opened up a
new A4 paper, which I then
dragged my cut out picture onto.
Originally, I found Photoshop
very difficult to use, as it was the
first time I had used it. However,
after doing my preliminary task, I
Selecting my image
had gotten more familiar with it
and found it easier to use.
Applying my image to an a4 paper

Making my title

 I selected a font which I

thought was suitable for my
RNB and Hip-Hop music
magazine. I used it as a
template to make my actual
title. I took a picture of a gem,
and copy pasted it many
times. I then placed them on
the template, as shown in the
print screen, and made my
title “BEATZ.”
  I used Adobe Audition for my
focus group, and my
evaluation question 3. With
this technological software, I
learnt how to take out
Adobe Audition unnecessary parts for my
audio file.
My Focus Group
 For example, whilst doing my
focus group recordings, there
was allot of background noise
and laughter. By highlighting
the section that I didn’t want
and by deleting it, I had got
rid of that section.
 This print screen shows that I
edited my focus group
recording on “Adobe
Audition,” I listed to the
recording first and then
How to save as a MP3 highlighted the part that I
didn’t want. By pressing ‘play’
I listened to the highlighted
part and if that part was not
needed I right clicked on the
mouse and deleted it. This
procedure was done
throughout my editing.
 I found Adobe Audition fairly
simple to use, even though it
was the first time that I was
using it.
  I used Microsoft Office
PowerPoint 2007, for many
different things.
Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007
 For example, for my evaluation
question number 1. I answered
this question using bullet points.
Evaluation: Question 1
Use of images also helped me
answer the question in detail as it
showed evidence on what I was
trying demonstrate. The images
were easy to apply using copy
and paste, however, putting them
in the right position and making
them all visible was a little tricky
but I managed it.
 I also used this software for my
Mise-en-scene ideas. Again,
Model Mise-en-scene Ideas placing the pictures and resizing
them was difficult, but I managed
to overcome it and present my
work appropriately.
 For my research and planning, I
had created a questionnaire. I

analysed my results using

Microsoft Office PowerPoint
2007 with the help of graphs. I
found this most difficult as it
was the first time I was applying
graphs to my PowerPoint.

 Overall, I use PowerPoint

regularly and so it wasn’t
problematic to use.
  During my coursework, I also used
Microsoft Office Word 2007 many
Microsoft Office Word 2007
times.
 For example, when making my
double page spread article, I used
this software. This is because it was
Double page spread article
easier for me to print out for
marking and to add extra additional
information. I could also put my
text into columns, which is
conventional for RNB and Hip-Hop
articles. I was also able to
distinguish between the question
and answer by changing the colour.
 I also used this technological
software for my questionnaire. I
Making of my questionnaire was able to present the
questionnaire like a usual
questionnaire with the use of
symbols, font sizes, colours and
even space for answering the open
questions. It was also easier to
print out and give out to my

market research audience.

Gathering the data was also
straight forward as most
questions were closed questions.
 Microsoft Office Word 2007 was
also used for my planning and
research for when I was
analysing proffesional magazines

Official PowerPoint 2007’s,

2007’s, Audio Auditions and
Photoshop images I used
these 4 software.
 When going onto these
websites I had to sign up to
Scribd them to be able to use the
software.
divShare  I then uploaded what I wanted
to put on my blog by browsing

 With every document
uploaded, came an embedded

to upload it onto my blog as
all I had to do was copy paste

 I then opened a new post on
my blog and clicked on “Edit
HTML,” this allowed my
document to be posted using
the software that I wanted.
 Each process for every
different technological
software was very similar. The
first one I created was rather
Scribd website complicated as I had never
used a website like this;
however, as I went on through
my coursework I found it
easier as the process for each
software was similar.

My blog
Overall, I learnt a lot about technologies from the process of constructing
my RNB and Hip-Hop magazine. At first, i found all of the software that I
used very difficult to use, especially Adobe Photoshop CS5. Although now, I
have gotten used to it and I am able to use it with high standards. Some of
these software that I have used to create my coursework were very new to
me and I hadn’t used them before. However, I now know how to use them
and I know what they are used for. This is the first time that I have created
my own blog and I think that I have learnt a lot from it. For example, how to
plan and organise my work and how to use different types of technologies.
