PHOTO SHOP
Photoshop
• I have learnt how to draw around an image and delete the background by the ‘magic wand tool’. I used it to cut around my main image to use for my magazine; so it looked neat and more presentable. I found this helpful because with out this my images wouldn’t fit in with the style of my magazine without certain things taken off the image.
• I learnt that the text tool let me add text anywhere on my magazine cover. I could stretch the text using ‘Ctrl T’ instead of increasing the size of the text. This made my magazine look individual and stand out from the rest. I also used it to slant my text.

• The shape tool allowed me to create a background effect for my text. I used the rectangle tool to create a box and added my text on top of the shape to make it stand out. I found this my most effective tool I learnt how to use as I used it so much throughout the process of making my magazine.
Camera

I have learnt how to use the basic setting on the camera including:
•Zoom•Focus•Flash•How to look back at my images
Quark • I have learned how to put and take off the
guidelines for my double page spread and contents page; to see how it looks without them on.

• I have learnt how to add text to a page for my cover lines and mastheads.
• I have learnt how to put a background onto my contents page and double page spread.
• I have learnt how to change the size, colour and font of text.
Blogger
• I used blogger to upload all my blogs.
• How to upload pictures
• How to write a post and change the font, style and colour of it.
• How to embed a post into blogger, such as slideshare or prezi.
Prezi
• I used Prezi for an evaluation question.

Slideshare.net
• I used slide share to put all of my powerpoint presentations on to blogger.

• I learnt how to change how long my presentations were on for.
Lighting
• I used a white background sheet for my main cover page for my magazine. I had a choice between white or black. I chose white as i found it would be easier to cut around the image, and also the light would be brighter, and more effective on a white background.
