3) What Have You Learnt About Technologies From The Process Of Constructing This Product?

Throughout my development, I have had to discover new technologies, and learn them quickly, to be able to make my final product of good quality. Learning new technologies was quite time consuming, as it was hard to get your head aroundusing new softwares in a short mount of time. This has enabled me to know how to use them, for future purposes.

Imac Computer
By having an Imac computer was a great advantage for me, as even though, it looks professional, and is practical to work on, the computer includes good quality software, for example... 'iphoto', which is a good software for editing images. The computer also includes 'pages', which is like an upgrade of word. This enabled me to be able to play around with fonts, making words closer together, to look like a real magazine sub heading.























Photo Shop
Photo shop, was very new to me at the time, when I came to editing my final images. This meant that this process was very time consuming, but definitely worth it! Using this new, modern software enabled me to be as creative as I wanted, for example, I used photo shop, when adding the black and white stripes in the background image used on my DPS.














When editing my pictures, a came across a new website, called 'Picnik'. I downloaded by photos for free, and this is where I mostly did my editing, as the site had a variety of different colours/textures/effects to chose from. The site, also had an effect that cut off photo corners, creating a curved edge effect, I used this a lot onmy images on my contents page.













Before I had started this product, I had not been familiar with 'Blogger'. I have learnt along the way, on how to add pictures, change font, etc... The only downfall that I have learnt is that it is on the internet, anyone can see your work, which at the beginning I was quite unsureabout, but now that I have developed and learnt I feel more confident with the site.
