Blogger- This was the main technology used to communicate and document all of our ideas, research and planning. Although very basic it allowed me to present my work clearly in an organised manner.

The “new post” feature allows you to make a text post and has to option to add a video, image and hyperlinks, as circled.

For instance, I learnt I could share the type of music to be displayed in my magazine by using the video button feature to add a video to my blog. Another example of technology featured on Blogger I used to help present my work was the use of hyperlinks. The text in blue on this particular blog post links to other blogs I observed gffdgfd fsds for evaluation, and acts as a guide to the reader so they can understand observations I made.

I also used the feature that allows you to add images to posts a lot throughout my blog posts.

Prezi- This online tool allows you to make dynamic and informative presentations and using an embed code, upload them to blogger. This helped me to present my work in an interesting way yet still get my point across.

This is an example of a presentation I made using Prezi, this particular presentation was exploring the meaning behind my images .This taught me how versatile current technology is.

In the top left corner there is a tool that allows you to insert objects, frames, create paths and change the colour.I focused mostly on inserting mages to support my work, and frames to act as a text box.

Slideshare- Slideshare is an online tool that allows you to upload Powerpoint Presentations and share them by pasting an embed code onto blogger; it allowed me to display my work in an organised manner, with back and forward buttons to hop between each slide. The presentation can be downloaded allowing my ideas to be shared across the web.

This is an example of a Slideshare presentation I have made., explaining the meanings and connotations behind my publication work. I was able to easily upload it to my blog for people to see

Jing- Jing is a desktop capturing software that you can use to not only capture your desktop in real time, but record sound as well.

Using red arrows, I’ve explained what each tool in Jing does. Using the desktop video capture and microphone software, I was able to talk about the processes used in making my music magazine, whilst having the music magazine open up in Photoshop. I could move around the layers to show the viewer how I’d made my work as well as having up links to other websites that I used in aid of my production work.

Photoshop- This is the main tool used for my production work. Photoshop is a photo image manipulating software. As well as being able to save files under many formats; for example, PNG, JPEG, PSD; I could use Artist tools and contrasting tools to create special effects on my pictures, and the use of layers to add different images/texts on top of each other.

I made a blog post on the processes I went through in Photoshop forthe preliminary task, I will provide the link in this post.
