From the process of creating a product I have come to know that technologies these days do play such an important role within the media industry especially. Therefore I believe that technology has definitely helped me in making an effective and desired product. The first process was that I researched example of already existing magazines on the computer in giving me an idea about what I wanted my magazine to be be about. In the same process I used an Alba SL1430 camera with a 14.0 mega pixels for my first photo shoot which were taken during my own time. The outcome of the photos did not look professional and sophisticated enough so after realising that the Alba camera wasn’t necessarily created for magazine images, I then decided to use a Canon 400D camera for all my images which resulted in great quality and effects. Although the features of the camera were hard to be familiar with, I gradually enhanced how it worked and used it in the way I wanted it to. Most of my images were taken in front of a background which I think emulates real magazines especially music magazines.
Another technology which played an important role in the making of my product was the use of Photoshop. I used a Photoshop CS5 to construct my magazine. Once I was familiar with the way it worked it became very easy to use and handle. I therefore manipulated my image to create astounding effects. For example I utilized the spot healing brush tool into smoothing my model’s face. I also used the image and adjustment tools to affect the brightness and contrast of the image. Through these I came to know that Photoshop was a really scheming software technology which could allow you to do almost anything you desired with an image. I created boxes which were used in my contents page. Over all I realised that Photoshop was very useful in creating JPEG files which helped me in uploading images onto blogger for instance or any other sites requiring JPEG images.
