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

Before I started this magazine my knowledge in Photoshop was very minimal. I knew some things that I had picked up in photography, but not much else. Before I even started making the magazine, I started experimenting  with the ways in which you can edit text. Using glows, bevel and emboss and different color adjustments I could edit the text so that it gives a more 3d fell or even a small outer glow.

After choosing to stick with a very simplistic standard text called "impact" I started to learn about aligning text so that it all look neat and tidy for the contents page. I think that I implemented this well and I managed to get a good looking contents page just by simply making sure the text was aligned and that the text was east and understandable.

I also learnt a little about studio photography. Although I am doing As Photography, I never really used the studio for my work preferring to work with natural light. For my double page spread and front page the images used were taken in the studio. I learnt about where exactly you place the light and how to get no shadows in a image.

A crucial part of the process was learning how to use this platform "Blogger". I had no experience with blogging before, but I found that using it has really helped me to present the work I have done in a more intuitive way. Now, I know how to post, embed and add images to posts with ease which is useful for when your trying to get your work across with aesthetics.
