Evaluation Q6: What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

SlideshareI have used slideshare in order to present the powerpoint in a more professional manner, I have learned how to upload my work into slideshare and then placing it into my blog.Blogger:The use of this software has allowed a fast and organised way to present my coursework. It is not difficult to use and the fact that it instantly shows what you have done and when makes it perfect for this situation when being marked. I’ve learned how to upload pictures, videos and change fonts and backgrounds to make the blog relatable to what I created for my coursework. Studio set-up:Here you can see some print screens taken from my blogger account where you can identify how I used technology in order to make the photo shoot as more professional as possible.Here are two print screens from my blogger which indicate how I set up the studio when performing the photo shoot:

 

InDesign: I have never used this programme before so I had to learn fast how to use it but with time I was able to improve my use of it and the difference can be made from my induction assignment if compared with my final DPS product. Photoshop:These are some of the class notes I took when we were introduced to the programme:(Control plus to zoom in.View rulersSafe as PSDImage Control T around image will transform the image bigger or smaller. Hold shift key (arrow key) and drag to manipulate size. Then click Rectangular Marquee tool to make changes. Colour overlay to change font colour.)In addition to this, I have been able to edit photography in order to make my magazine far more professional and suitable for the industry to take into account

Prezi:I’ve used prezi in order to present question 1 of my evaluation I have not used it before so I am still not well aware in its entirety how to use all of its components although I created a pathway where my ideas could be presented in a manner that wouldn’t be tedious and it is cleanly presented as well. I merely used the rectangle tool to present my written work and I uploaded some print screens from my magazine where I could relate and illustrate what I was saying. Audacity:I have used audacity in order to manipulate the songs I implemented in my Windows Live Movie Maker which I used to shorten the song, made it faster (1.00 speed) and changed the frequency of the song (From 279,070 to 285,947) this is to comply with terms of copyright even though I added the song in my video in case.Atube catcher:I have used this software in order to download some videos from youtube in order to implement sections and parts from some songs and the video.

Evaluation Q7: Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

Feedback given:

• “After you have completed your college magazine for the premium task, you have progressed the way to structure a magazine for whatever purpose. Also your skills on photoshop&InDesign have improved, your are using more various types of fonts, the colour, layout and so on... The shots you have taken are more professional and delicate. Nicely placed on the magazine. Simply wonderful.”

• “Since the college magazine task, your use of Photoshop and InDesign as improved a lot, i think you skills have developed nice and have helped you to produce the professional pieces you have produced.”

The use of fonts and layout compresses a far more conventional way to address the audience. Giving a far more professional outlook which engages the reader.

Use of camera• Since my last performance doing the preliminary task a massive improvement has been

achieved. Firstly, the photography is far more professional this is by the use of the equipment used. You can see below how the angles and eye contact are much more effective in the music magazine as well as the lightening and the posture to attract the target audience.

It is obvious that the colour scheme in the music magazine works better for the target audience it refers to. As it looks more professional.
