the process of constructing this product?

Throughout constructing my music magazines front cover, content page and double page spread. I decided to use the well known Photoshop CS6. Photoshop has highly benefited me in terms of constructing my music magazine from scratch to the final piece. I used Photoshop in GCSE however in AS it was a bit easier for me and I just had to expand on various key tools on Photoshop. I have learnt many new things whilst constructing my music magazine, which consists of the dodge tool, this was beneficial for me as I could make easy edits in a few steps which was highly beneficial.

Overall I do not think my music magazine would have been this successful if it wasn't for Photoshop, I feel that I have used all tools that I know and acknowledge to create a professional final piece for my front cover , content page and double page spread.

Blogger! The most easiest way of uploading your work for your teacher to assess and mark, moreover if you are at home you can also submit work and the teacher can view it. Its a couple of clicks very simple process which was highly beneficial for constructing my music magazine due to the fact that I would upload production logs and other posts which then my teacher would give immediate feedback on.

Overall my organisation of my music magazine was all thanks to blogger, if it was submitted via printed out or other methods the possibilities of the working getting lost is very high however through blogger nothing can get lost.

Facebook is helpful in everyway you can think of, it has highly helped me throughout my music magazine in terms of organising dates for me and my model to meet up and dress codes. Facebook is a very simple social networking site where you can make an account in a couple of clicks and that’s it your connected to millions of people around the world. In my occasion I used facebook to assist me in constructing my music magazine. Sending messages is a extremely quick and simple process and if you have the application on your smart phone you will receive the message fast like a text.

Facebook has highly been beneficial for constructing my music magazine due to the fact that I don't see my model everyday and through facebook I informed them of date changes and dress code.

Whatsapp is the worlds leading app for contacting and sending files across around the world. Whatsapp has highly helped me throughout constructing my music magazine due to the fact that my model only had access to facebook on his computer and when he left to meet up in the agreed location on the weekend to take photos. Whatsapp helped me because i was in constant contact with my model to give me a comprehensive understanding of where he is and how far he is away from the location that we were going to take photos.

Whatsapp successfully did its job and it is a very good app which i learnt is very useful for situations like this.

Google drive has saved me a lot of time in terms of creating a questionnaire in a couple of clicks and obtaining the results electronically . I managed to create a questionnaire for my target audience to see what they would expect in a music magazine so I can use the data and demonstrate it on to my music magazine production to make it as successful as possible.

Overall I learnt that Google drive is a extremely easy process to create a questionnaire and has highly assisted me in my music magazine production.

Canon the worlds leading company for creating professional electronic equipment. Whilst constructing my music magazine production to make it look as professional as possible our schools media department consists of top of the range canon cameras which I managed to use and take pictures of my model. The canon camera has highly assisted me in taking my music magazine one step closer to professionalism as it took extremely top quality pictures to make my music magazine look as realistic as possible.

I have also learnt that the camera has a manual and auto focus button which was very helpful if I wanted the model to be sharp and background be blur or the model blur and the background sharp, this was highly beneficial.
