In this coursework module I have learnt a lot about the magazine industry and other media text institutes as well as a range of technologies and ways of editing.
I used my own camera for all pictures which is just a simple fuji-film digital camera with 10.2 megapixels. Although this is not the best quality it has sufficed for this purpose. In editing the pictures I used a range of programs. In order to remove any background I used paint and serif photoplus. For editing the pirate onto the barrel I used serif again. The black and white pictures with one thing in colour were edited using picnik as was any computerised text. Any edits to make the lighting better or image clearer I used either picnik or picassa.
With the exception of picassa and paint I had not used any of the programs before. Majority were simple enough to pick up but I needed some help with serif on my first use. By using a range of programs I was able to experience and learn a lot about a range of technologies. I have also learnt to be more patient as I found the photo and text editing meant a lot of trial and error to get it exact.
Also, in the evaluation video I am currently creating I have used imovie which although I have used before in groups I have never used individually and so it is proving a challenge. I have however mastered the basics and hope to upload the video tomorrow.
I used the schools imacs and my own netbook to complete all my blogs. I used the internet for research via google. I then used survey monkey and facebook to gain feedback and a better idea of how to produce my magazine to appeal to my target audience. This was an easy way of gaining feedback and even though I had never before used surey monkey, I found it relatively straight-forward to use.
