Evaluation: What Have You Learnt About Technologies From The Process Of Constructing This Product

What can I say, I never knew it was possible to actually create two magazine from scratch without any experience on either software. Media is a powerful thing, and helps to influence the way nearly every human see life, giving an outlook on life like never before. For me two create two media products which looks highly professional is an achievement ,which I will hold on for the rest of my life. I learnt a lot from both Adobe Photoshop & InDesign, however I personally learnt much more on InDesign. The reason why I learnt much more on InDesign because this software is used by many professionals and the things you can do to the layout of the text and images is amazing. It made sure my page numbers where precisely the same length and height which gives my magazine a professional look. A lot of other things help to fine edge my magazine to have that professional outlook. As can seen before if you look back at my previous post is a plan of my double page spread which I think I executed flawlessly, in my real production.

Next is Photoshop, praise the lord for this piece of software, as the way in which you can manipulate pictures is mind blowing. When I was young I always heard about people photoshopping there pictures to make it a tad better, so it was very weird to actually use this program everyone was going on about. The things I learnt on photoshop are things which I will take on board throughout my lifetime, as I feel I'm nearly there to become a green belt at photoshop. The worlds mine when using photoshop as I learnt to put two pictures in one to create an authentic picture or multiplying a picture to the background so it doesn't stand out like a sore thumb. Learnt how to manipulate texts to a major degree, as you can turn an ordinary text into a a hip hop/rap masthead which isn't easy but thanks to photoshop it has become so easy to do. Cutting out a person or object from a whole picture has also been a major skill I have taken on board. As you can accurately remove a person from a picture so you, don't have to worry about the background.

All the other technology during the process wasn't anything new to me, but these two bad boys has maid me open up to Adobe. It weird how these two programs can have so much power within the world we live in from top celebrities getting air brushed on photoshop, to major publishing companies using InDesign to construct international magazines. Therefore this is a round up of the skills I learnt, during the process on constructing my media product.
