Q 6

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

The technologies I have used during this process...


Prezzi
Powerpoint
Word
Publisher
Photoshop
InDesign
Blogger
Digital camera
Slide share
 Email Iphone/ipad
Youtube Video camera


Positives/Advantages


I have used the InDesign to make my final magazine pages. I have found this a useful soft wear to use because it is designed to make the magazine how I want it. Their are tools that alter things that you couldn't do on other programmes such as the kerning and the spaces between lettering.
Photoshop was good to edit my photographs as I manipulate my photos so it suited my target audience eg, making them black and white. I have found email and my ipad very useful to send things to me and I could also store my files onto my ipad and edit them in small amounts before uploading it quickly.

Negatives/Disadvantages

The disadvantages are using some of these programmes were that the took long to load and you had a risk of writing to much. For example word you write to much to fill the page therefore when you upload it takes to much time to complete as you are writing to much. Prezzi is very time consuming it has a difficult way to save and the design is difficult to use because you cant write a lot in detail. I have found slide share difficult to use because it take s a while to embed the code.

My Technology skills have improved since I have started this course because I have learnt to use more advanced technology. This has improved since the first task because I have watched youtube videos to learn different things.
