For
our front cover and contents page we had to use the program Adobe Photoshop to
create them, luckily for me I do photography so I knew how to use the
programmes. Photoshop
allowed you
to import photos and edit them how you want for example changing the photo to
black and white adjusting the colour balance etc. On the
other hand the programme for the double page spread I had a lot of problems
with because it was the first time I used it, and I thought it would be similar
to Photoshop because they made from the same makers. The programme that I leant
most about was Adobe InDesign, at first I didn't’t know anything about this programme so I
decided to look on YouTube about how to use the programme. For me looking at
videos I learn best from because I can see how it is done and then I try it for
myself. The things I leant how to do in Adobe InDesign was to produce a double page spread for
my magazine by importing the photos I wanted to use, arranging the text and
photos to make the page look professional. Also I leant how to resize a photo
that I imported, making it smaller or bigger, this was really important for my
double page spread because at first I only wanted my photo to cover one page
but I then had to resize my photo so it could fit over the double page spread,
the reason why I had to resize the photo was because it would have become stretched
and pixelated.
To
take the photos that I displayed in my magazine I used a canon 4D camera, this
camera allowed my to take photos on a automatic focus or manual setting. I
chose to use the manual focus because I find using this setting it allows you
to control how much light you let in and how close you want to be near the
subject. Also with this setting I think the picture quality is much better and
more clear.
Other
technologies I've learnt have been the website blogger, this website allowed us
to create our blogs and this blog shows the progress towards the finished
product at the end. With blogger I have leant how to post text or images which
have shown that I have leant by making my music magazine.
All
the technologies I have
used to creating my magazine or finding my music artist have been: Blogger,
Photoshop, InDesign, Twitter, Prezi, GoAnimate, YouTube and PowerPoint.
The
equipment and props I used during the process: Canon eos 40D camera,
photography studio with lighting equipment, Apple Mac pc, Tripod, Skateboard and guitar.
