During the construction of my final media product, I used blogger which is a blog publishing site that allows users to upload entries on many different platforms.

During the construction of my music magazine blogger enabled me to: Upload videos as research for my target audience for my research and

planning for my final magazine Allow me to communicate with my media teacher so that she could give me

feedback for my production and planning It also allowed me to generate feedback from my target audience so that I

could use the feedback and use it for my the production of my magazine Allowed me to create blog posts as part of my research so that I could go

back through them so that I could make sure that I would be following conventions of music magazines when I was making my music magazine

Adobe fireworks is a bitmap and vector graphics editor. The tools on the programme have allowed me to create my magazine and edit the photos I had taken for my magazine.

I used fireworks to create my front cover contents page and double page spread and During the production of my final magazine, fireworks had enabled me to:

• Use bitmap and vector tools in order to edit and manipulate my photos that I had taken for my final music magazine.•Download and use text for my magazine Because fireworks had allowed me to edit and manipulate my photos, it meant that the process of making my final magazine was made much quicker and easier. I think this was because I became more and more familiar with fireworks during the time I was creating my magazine which also meant the quality of my work became better during my course.

During the construction of my magazine, Da font has allowed me to download potential fonts for my magazine, and put them into a shortlist so that my target audience could determine which masthead was the most favourable amongst the shortlist. Which meant that I could then use the most popular font in the making of my magazine. I think that Da font has been a key technology as it allowed quick and easy access downloading fonts for my magazine and it also assisted me in the creation of my magazine.

Da font is a website that has a collection of files to download fonts for free. They are categorized by topic and can also be sorted by name, date and popularity.

Pic Monkey enabled me to upload the original image of some of my photos that I had taken during my photo shoot and digitally edit them using the tools that were not available on Adobe fireworks, which made the process of my magazine making much easier.

Is a photo-editing programme that I used to edit my photos in the creation of my music magazine

I also used DTP (desk top publishing) which allowed me to upload the pictures that I took which also allowed me to make my whole magazine from one computer software. It also allowed me to do minor editing to my original photos that I had taken on my camera. Also the camera was also connected to the computer which again allowed my photos to be uploaded.
