As I joined the media course around 6 weeks late I did not receive as much guidence on my school magazine compared to with my music magazine. I feel that despite the fact I had not managed to do much research or planning that the school magazine had actually turned out relatively well. It was clear and easy to read but very plain and not very eyecatching.
I feel that I have done my very best with my music magazine in that I researched and planned in a lot of detail and this has payed of a lot. I feel that the questionnaires that I had produced were very benifitial in that all the people who answered them were in my target audience age range therefore all the improvements I was informed to make really made a difference.
In the process of creating my school magazine I had not used photoshop. I used powerpoint, therefore my outcome was not as good. Therefore my knowledge of photoshop has increased incredibly. Also for my school magazine I had only used my phone camera for the picture on my front cover. On my final music magazine I used the nikon d50 which is well known for being an effective camera.

6. What Have You Learnt About Technologies From The Process Of Constructing This Product?

I have done the majority of my magazine on this dell inspiration netbook.

I have used blogger to  post all of my ideas and creations on. This is a way of showing my research and planning towards my final magazine.

I have used prezi as a way of showing my research towards my magazine. This has helped me to show my ideas clearly and in an organised fashion.

I have used microsoft powerpoint to create slide shows as a way of showing my research.

I then used slideshare to upload the video onto my blog.

(never used before)

I used survey monkey as a way of creating questionnaires for people to fill in to help me understand there needs and see if any improvements needed to be made to my magazine.

I actually used facebook as a way of sending the questionnaire to people. I also used facebook to interview Tallis Morris on as we couldn't meet at that particular time.

(never used before)

I used this nikon d50 to take all of my pictures for my magazine on.

(never used before)

I then used adobe photoshop 7.0 to edit them. This is the first time I had used photoshop so I had to teach myself.

And finally I used hotmail to send and retrieve all my work from school to home and vice versa.

Overall I have taught myself a lot about technology in that I have learnt a lot of new techniques. I hope that I have done it in an effective way.
