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

When I started this course I wasn’t the best at photo shop so I had to develop on my skills to get a better result for my magazine, and example of my bad photo shop skills was my preliminary task I didn’t know how to add many affect to my image so my image was very basic and plan. I also made my image black and white which wasn’t good because I lost marks for colour. However I did learn how to use photo shop in my free time so that my main task could be better. I learnt how to add different affect and how they work on my image and how it could improve my image. I feel my photo shop skills have improved and are shows in my new main task work and my drafts of it before.

feel that the camera I used which was the FufiFilm FinePix S1500 helped me capture all the images in the way I wanted to get them, and example of this is when I wasn’t to have a focus shot of Skylark hand and make the face look blurred which i managed to do with the camera I used. Also the camera had a quality lends which made my pictures more clear and easy to edit.

To edit my images I used Photo Shop CS3 and CS5 to add effects and different fonts to my work. This helps my work because it helped me edit and change my work actually and how I wanted it to look, and example of this could of been my font cover which I made on Photoshop, it show now I added font to the page, a image in the corner and also blur the image to add an effect. I feel that both facts will helped my work develop and come out how I wanted it to.
