WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNT ABOUT TECHNOLOGIES

FROM THE PROCESS OF CONSTRUCTING

THIS PRODUCT?

NIKON DSLR• A Nikon DSLR was used to take all of the images in my

magazine. I found this was the best way to capture high quality images to be used in my magazine, as

with my preliminary task I used some images from a camera phone, which didn’t aid towards the

professional finish I was looking for. I learnt about this type of technology that it was important all of the

photos were taken in the correct orientation that the image is intended to be in. I found this out as some images I had taken were in portrait and this meant

they appeared distorted when stretched into landscape for my magazine.

PRESENTATION• I used different types of presentation websites to present

my planning, such as Prezi, Slideshare and Thinglink. I believe this brought my presentations to life and allowed

me to present my planning in more finer detail. There were few problems with these pieces of software however it is important to know that the original copies shouldn’t be deleted from the sites as this breaks the link between

the file and the embed code (I found this out the hard way but had luckily kept the original elsewhere). I have used blogger as it made the presentation process of my work

easier over a course period, organising my posts into chronological order.

OVERALL• Overall I had pretty good experiences with technology

through this project and that allowed my work to flow. At the beginning of the course I found some

computers were very slow and often crashed therefor it was important to always save regularly. Knowing this has allowed me not to loose any work and I’m

proud of my final magazine.
