Question 6

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

What hardware and software have you used to plan your pages? How effective was it?

To plan my pages, I drafted them by hand, the effect of this was to design my ideas the way I wanted

instead of using a software to do so. Therefore when it came to creating the pages on the programmes

Photoshop and InDesign I was able to edit and re-arrange my designs and ideas to make it look more

professional.

What hardware and software have you used to construct your pages? How effective was it?

To construct my front cover I used Photoshop. This was very effected as it helped to edit my pictures and remove the red eye to make my images look professional. Also it was useful as I was able to use a variety of effects to make my front cover look appropriate for my target audience.

To construct my contents page and double page spread, I used InDesign . This was because a lot of writing was involved therefore it was a more appropriate software to use. The use of this was to allow me to use a drop cap for my article and allow me to place the text around images that I wanted to place on my article. This software also allowed me to set up columns on my contents page therefore I was able to keep the layout of my page organized.
