What have you learnt about new technologies from the process of creating this product?

I have used blogger to represent my work and to show the processes to making my final product.

Using blogger allows me to publish my work onto the internet. In the age of web 2.0 I have become a prosumer as I don’t only consume work/information on the internet

but I have then produced pages of a magazine from that for an audience over the internet.

Creating a blog has made me improve my presentation skills. To do this I have presented my work using

PowerPoint, Slideshare, Prezi and Emaze.

Google was used as my main source of research about current music magazines and conventions.

I used SoundCloud to upload podcasts to my blog. I recorded the podcasts using my mobile phone’s voice

recorder.

I used bar charts and graphs to show results from audience questionnaires to help create my product. Bar

charts/graphs are an easier way to display results and look more interesting. They were produced using Microsoft

Excel.

I used Photoshop to create my front cover and contents page. This allowed me to edit my photographs that were

taken on a digital camera, to make them higher quality and to meet the genre of my magazine better.

I then used InDesign to create my double page feature after editing my photographs in Photoshop. InDesign was

easier to use to create the structure of my page.
