Evaluation 6- What have you learnt about technologies from the process of construction?

Through researching and analysing music magazines to understand the conventions used. I used the internet, particularly when carrying out research. Whilst producing pieces to display my new understanding I used Snacktools such as Prezi, Microsoft Word and Blogger. Prezi was the most challenging to use, yet I feel its my most creative due to the interaction involved. Furthermore, whilst creating my own magazine, I had to set up my own photoshoot, to do this I had to use photographic equipment such as a Canon Photography camera. To develop the images I took I had to use iPhoto to edit and produce better quality images, to how i felt it would look best and fit in well with my magazine. I very much enjoyed using iPhoto, although I struggled to grasp the concept of it, when I was able to make my images exactly the way I wanted it was rather satisfying.

 

If I had the opportunity to produce a music magazine again, I would definitely use my same idea, as I liked the fact it was different to others. However, next time when shooting, I would make sure to set up perfect setting for a more convincing portrayal of festivals, although I do feel this was portrayed rather well. Furthermore, although Photoshop was challenging I now understand how to use it. However, rather than presenting my work on Snacktools which was very time-consuming, I would use other technologies that would present them in an easier way. I would also ensure that these would be interactive and understandable.
