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

I have learnt in the process of taking my picture that it is important to take a picture in a certain angle to give impression’s when the image is looked at. I have also discovered that when the image is taken appropriate lighting has to be used in order to the image to come out properly and look professional. On top of that a professional camera will have to be used in order for the image to look good and professional.

In order for me to take my picture these are the following equipments that I had used:
· Canon Eos 400d Digital Camera
· Bowens Gemini Flash Unit with soft box
· Radio Trigger
When using the equipment I was under my teacher’s supervision for health and safety reasons.

The equipment used in the process of taking the photograph I now know how to use it comfortably, I now know how to function the options provided in the camera and also the flash so that the image will come out clear. I have learnt overall that in order for a image to come out properly and look professional the lighting, camera used and the angle of the image taken is very important.

In the process of creating my magazine I had also used different software’s to help me achieve the best possible outcome I could for my magazine. I had used a total of two software’s as I designed this magazine, the first software was Adobe Photoshop which was the main programme that was used to help edit the image and add additional text, also the second programme used was Adobe Illustrator, I had used this programme only just once and this programme so to help me create shapes. Adobe Photoshop was the main programme used as it was used to edit the image in order to make the image look better and text was also added using this software so that it had looked like a magazine. Adobe Photoshop help me create the magazine and make it look like a real magazine. Within Adobe Photoshop I have learnt to make an image brighter, also remove spots from a person in an image, also how to edit a whole image so that it looks professional and many other tools provided by Adobe Photoshop.
