I use Google everyday so am familiar with using it, Google really helped me when conducting my research as I used the search engine when trying looking for magazines that would influence me whilst making my magazine.I chose to use Google over other search engines such as Yahoo search and Ask Jeeves because i use Google everyday and find it easy to use, also it is the worlds largest search site which would give me the best results. When I finally finished my research i realized Google is a reliable and easy site to use and it also helped me very much in my research.
Adobe Photoshop
When i started to use Photoshop i found it quite complicated to use but soon got used to it. Photoshop helped me edit all the images that i used for my magazine, it especially helped with my main image for the front cover. It helped me refine and edit the image and re-size it to make the image perfect and just how i wanted it. Photoshop didn't just help me with photographs it helped me with my texts , layers and when finalising. Overall photoshop gave my magazine a professional look and helped me appeal to the target audience.
Nikon D60
I used this camera because i am familiar with the DSLR and i knew it would give me the best picture quality. When photographing my first photo shoot i realised that the camera gave my pictures excellent quality and resulted in near perfect pictures.If i would of had to use a standard camera i wouldn't of got the quality or effect i wanted, therefore i learnt that the Nikon camera and its technology gave my magazine a professional and quality looking picture.
Quark Express
I used Quark Express to make my contents page and double page spread, this was the best choice because it is easy for layouts and columns which would help me make my magazine. When I set up my double page spread and contents page I soon learnt how to add texts and images and how to use all the appropriate tools. I had to learn how to move texts around and blend them in to give my contents and double page a professional look. This technical programme is quite hard to use but helped a lot when making my double page spread and magazine.
Blogger.com
Blogger has been the main online resource where we have stored our research , progress and final products. Blogger has helped alot because I have used it to update and record all my work so far. Using Blogger I have uploaded powerpoints , videos , images and added links to my work, and has helped me reflect on my own ideas and think things through.
