EVALUATION : What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this?

The technologies I have learnt about from the process of constructing my publication was a range of different multimedia programs. I used Microsoft publisher to construct my magazine because I had a choice of using 4 pages as a brochure being more the form of the magazine. Other software programmes I used were Adobe Photoshop, from this I learnt how to remove blemishes, delete backgrounds and isolate image, also learnt how to use reduction skills, and red eye removal. I learnt to change the colour of the image as well so I changed the colour of the image on the front page to blend in with the colour scheme. I also used a more advanced camera to take my images therefore I could avoid any problems such as pixelated images, bad quality or bad lighting e.g. This made a good convention because most successful magazines have good quality pictures and have none of these traits. The process of blogging was very new to me and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it, it was nice to voice my opinions about the magazine, and say about my ideas for the final magazine. When doing my drafts I found it helpful to publish them and to evaluate what I had achieved and what had not worked so well so far.
