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

One technological device I used was the Olympus FE4040 digital camera which has 14 Megapixels with auto focus.  At first I wasn’t too clear with photography, and didn’t understand what shots would be recommended for my product, however because I was using it quite a lot my skills then enhance, and taking shot were quite good, futhermore in reference to my product, I should have taken a wider range of shots for example groups shots and an establishing shot which therefore shows background "An Establishing shots may use famous landmarks to indicate the city where the action is taking place or has moved to, such as Big Ben to identify London". Essentially showing use with different types of shots would then maximize my marks overall.

Another use of technology I used for this work was Adobe Photoshop CS3, CS5 and Elements which allowed me to modify images, whether adding effects or managing the size.  Using this program essentially allowed me to do my work, as I used different types of Layers and filters to design my product  (all four pages) one basic effect Photoshop allowed me to do was added a shadow effect on the wording, this also allowed my work to look more magazine conventional. 

Photoshop also allowed me to manage my pages, and calculate what areas need to be cut out, for example developing my double page spread. The mistake I made was that instead of using Microsoft publisher I used Photoshop which then made me have to separate my double spread pages.

And finally I used the Dafont.com website to download different font packages, in essence I done this to see what font suited my product and also the genre of my product.  I used Dafont.com with virtually every text on my product. Therefore it can then lure my audience, and be more user friendly as in them becoming attracted.

dafont.com essentially made my work seem and look much better and therefore this means that my work was quite conventional.
