Evaluation Question 6
What have you learnt about technologies through the process of constructing this product?
Throughout this entire product construction I have had to use various different software and online media creators to help aid good use of ICT and also produce the media product. Some of these software's and tools I was unaware of how to use so had to self teach myself to a certain extent.
The technologies I used are listed below;
This is my setup for my photoshoot, I also had a large light but I could not take a picture with this because the flare was interrupting the image. The tripod was used because it stabilizes the image and allows me to adjust the height of the image capturing and also the angle - as shown to the left. I could take various amounts of pictures with the camera pointing at exactly the same point while the model could change her stance or posture accordingly.
Below is a link to the photo shoot, showing the technology I used when taking my photos for the front cover etc. This is a link to the other videos I made showing me producing the first draft of my front cover and the tools I used in the process http://kaneboormanmedia.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/Front%20Cover%20Videos

Photoshop
I used photoshop because it is a professional image editing software, which was firstly provided to us from school, but I purchased it myself to take my work home. It has many features that are rare in a lot of programmes and was the best software to use for the job in hand. I used photoshop for my Front Cover and Contents page.
Indesign
I used indesign because like photoshop its a very functional piece of software. It also has integration with photoshop too. I used this for my Double Page Spread because it has one tool that is not featured in photoshop, which is text wrapping. It made the job a lot easier to edit.
Sony Vegas 11
Is a software I purchased a while ago for personal home use so I was already pretty comfortable with it, I decided t edit my videos using this software.
YouTube
There are plenty of video uploading sites but I chose YouTube because it is well known and has full integration within Blogger, this integration with Blogger helps strengthen the good use of ICT within my media products.
Canon 550D
This is my personal camera that I used to take the original pictures for my magazine. I used this camera because it can take high quality images which can be blown up to the size of my magazine also, this was used with the Hama Star 61 Tripod to help stabilize the shots for higher quality pictures. The GoPro HD Hero, was used to video evidence that the picture were original.
Apple Macs & Dell PC's
I used these pieces of technology because these were available to me; at school we use the macs and at home I used my PC's. They both were capable in efficiently completing the task.
Blogger
We used Blogger, as our 'coursework folder' because it is highly interactive. We live in a digital age and it is a necessity to present information in different ways than just images and text; Blogger allows us to do this. Blogger has a great archiving system, allowing you easily to navigate through posts and locate whatever you want within seconds, rather than tediously scrolling through endless posts. Another, great bonus is that you can work from anywhere with an internet connection, no documents needed. Although, it has its cons, like the uneasy way of laying out images etc.
Presentation Devices
These are the pieces of software that can be fully integrated with Blogger for a heightened experience. They allow better ways of presenting data and are fully interactive, e.g. Glogster for viewing images.
