The types of hardware and software I think will might use to research, plan and construct my

magazine.

The technology used to create and communicate with media. The physical device that enables messages stored on software to pass from a sender to a receiver. Television, radio, computers, movie projectors, telephones, etc., are hardware

What type of Hardware tools will I use?

Camera and Tripod

I will use a camera and tripod while creating my music magazine in order to take vital images, which will be on the front cover. I will place the camera on to the tripod, and this will allow me to get a still image without the worry of the image being out of focus or blurry. I will borrow the school camera, to take photos within school hours and I will then use my own camera, if I would like to take pictures outside school.

Memory Stick

I will always use a memory stick. Using a memory stick will allow me to save all my work which I have completed at school. Then I can use my saved work, and complete my unfinished work at home. A memory stick is also helpful, for transferring photos from the camera onto the Macs or PC.

Macs

Significantly, I will use the Macs which we have within school to publish all my blogs. I will also use the Macs there fantastic applications, which will help me create my front cover and double page spread of my music magazine.

The place where media messages are stored. Intended for use with hardware. Software can take the form of computer diskettes, videocassettes, film, audiocassettes, etc.

What types of software will I use?

Macs

As I am already using the Macs at school, I will use there software. For example; Isound and Imovie, as well as that, the Macs have an outstanding editing tool, this will help me to edit all of my photos , which I will upload to my music magazine.

Pixlr

Pixlr is a free online photo editing website. I have already attempted using Pixlr to create a draft of my school magazine and my final school magazine. You can see all of my attempts on my blog. In addition, I will use Pixlr to help me create my music magazine because I feel it looks more professional than any other photo editing programme.

I will use different hardware and software tools in order to create a very professional piece of work. The examples I have given, has given me a better understanding of some hardware and software programmes I can use to create my music magazine.
