I developed my photos taken on my Iphone, an app called ‘Photo Editor-‘ which also helped to make my image look more professional. I could then upload my image onto fireworks where I used that to also develop it more using their filtering feature. . I learnt how to use a site called flickr to host my images; it was good because it also allowed me to annotate my photos taken used prezi which is an online zooming presentation creator site- it is so simple to use.
Overall I have learnt a lot about technology throughout this media project; before creating my magazine I'd never used Flickr, Blogger or Prezi. In addition to this, created a magazine using fireworks.
Fireworks appeared to be the best software to use when making the magazine as it’s more for that sort of thing; its software for creating possessions more professionally. Before the process of constructing my magazine I hardly knew how to use a camera professionally and I had never used any sort of editing software before. I found out that positioning a lamp in front of my model would make a huge difference to the photo, and it did.
What have I learnt about technologies in process of constructing my product?
I have used blogger to store all my work on which came across as quite a task at first until I got used to how to use it, it then became easy. The idea of using blogger to publish our work was a good idea. This meant I was able to easily access viewing of other students work to influence my own. I used the fireworks software to create my magazine which had some amazing tools on allowing me to do so much more than I could do with something simple other than fireworks.
