What have you learnt about technologies from the process of

constructing this product?

• I have learnt new skills throughout the process of constructing my media product, I have learnt how to use new software and websites that I haven't used before such as Photoshop, Slide share, Blogger, Survey monkey.

• Photoshop was a large part of the construction of my music magazine as it provided me with the correct tools to give my magazine the effect I wanted. I didn’t have a lot of knowledge of Photoshop previously so I learnt a lot when editing my images and pages. I used tools such as layering, a gradient background effect, a shadow and the text tool.

• Another technology I learnt about during the construction of my product was Slideshare, which I hadn’t previously used before creating my blog. It was a key part of creating my blog as it allowed me to upload my Powerpoint presentations onto my blog, it also showed me how to use HTML and embed the files that I had created onto my blog.

• Blogger was a very important part of the process of constructing my product. I learnt how to upload and share all of my work onto my own blog. I also learnt how to publish and organise my work by using titles and labels, therefore making it easier for people to view my work online. Blogger was effective as it made it quicker and easier for me to share and organise my work. I hadn’t previously created a blog before constructing my media product, therefore I learnt how to create my own account so that I could access my blog and edit it easily.

• Survey Monkey was another great piece of technology I learnt from when creating my media product, as I learnt how to create my own survey. I learnt how to input my own questions and choose the style of answer I wanted the consumer to use. I also learnt how to upload my survey onto Facebook allowing a bigger audience to answer the questions I had created. Survey Monkey was very useful as it helped me to find out the likes and dislikes of my chosen target audience.
