What have you learnt about
technologies from the process of
constructing this product? Whilst producing my student magazine I learnt how to do a variety of things where technology is concerned. I learnt how to keep a blog which included creating new posts, updating previous ones and ordering the posts in chronological order. This helped greatly with my time management as it acted as a visual guide to the progress I was making and the remaining tasks I had to complete.
I learnt that all software's had the option for
embedding presentations into our blogs, meaning it allowed us to see it on the screen without the hassle of using a hyperlink or opening another window.
I learnt how to use the basic tools of
Photoshop; inserting images, cropping images to make them fit to screen, making the background transparent, including text of different scales and how to combine layers. This helped massively when it came to actually producing the magazine although it was quite difficult to start with.
I learnt how to transfer images from a
various number of platforms onto my computer. These including cameras, mobile phones, emails and via USB.
Finally I learnt about the suitable camera
settings, size and positioning needed for specific parts of my magazine. For example, cover images should always be portrait, secondary images should be smaller than all others and finally that for outdoor images the camera should be set to landscape mode whereas if I was using a person in my image Id need to set it to portrait mode in order to achieve the best lighting.
