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

I used many different technologies in planning, researching

and designing my magazine pages. I also used Blogger to

blog my work. I used different software and computer

 programs and also different hardware for taking my

photos. Photoshop was the program I used the most when

 designing and producing my magazine pages and in

photoshop I used many different processes. I learnt many things about these different technologies, how to use them efficiantly and how to make them do what I need. The main thing I learnt was about how magazines work around the different technologies and how the magazine industry has evolved around the evolution of computer software. The main technolgy I learned about was Blogger. Most coursework pieces are presented in essays, using a blog is a more modern and unconventional method with many different advantages. Firstly the most obvious advantage with a digital online coursework piece is with the variety of media available to use. I have used conventional text, images and even a video clip, with editing and changes being easier to make a blog is the way forward with coursework presentations. With an essay on the other hand it is alot easy to say what you mean and has an easier format and is easier to use. The layout of an essay is also more conventional and makes more sense, an introduction and the main content and then a conclusion, blogs do not have this in the conventional way.
