Question 3: What have you learnt about technologies?

Technology in my media as from scottnaylor96

Technology	What I have learnt from using this
Camera	The camera was essential for my work and allowed me to take my pictures for my magazine, I learnt from this product how to focus and take clear images, how to get the lighting correct to create a clear background and how to prevent shadows from appearing, and any shadows that were caught on camera were removed afterwards in Adobe Photoshop.
Blogger	I used blogger to post information on my progress; I had never used this before but I did find it fairly easy to work with because it was very easy to upload blog entries, I also learnt how to upload pictures and videos with my posts. I also learnt how to personalise the page and make it my own.
Adobe Photoshop	I used Adobe Photoshop to edit and create the different images to go in my magazine, on this I edited any shadows that appeared on the model, removed any spots using cropping and cutting etc. I also removed the backgrounds to keep them completely shadow free. I edited about four photos   out of all the photos that I took and was overall quite happy with how they came out.
Prezi	Prezi was probably my least used piece of technology. I used this for my evaluation but that is all and posted the link to my blog. This was very easy to use and create; I learnt how to make a basic PowerPoint style clip on this explaining my magazine and the reasoning behind the house colours etc.
Adobe InDesign	Adobe InDesign was probably my most used piece of technology along with Blogger as it was the main programme for my magazine. On this programme I learnt to use different tools on it, this helped me to create my magazine and helped me to organize where everything should go on the page.
Paint	Paint was used for little details, I already knew how to use this and so it was very easy to work with, I used it to create different details to go on my magazine cover such as the banner flags, barcode and album cover (the album cover was placed on the double page spread). I did learn that the images had to be very large to be placed on to InDesign as when put on here detail was lost and so the bigger the picture, the better the quality was.
