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

I used different types of technology in the process of creating my magazine, some programs and techniques I had never used before, such as Quark express. I have learnt how to used Quark Express to the level of making a contents page and double page spread. Using photoshop before I was confident with using the software but during making my magazine I learnt lots of new processes such as adding drop shadows, how to put models infront of titles and how to merge pictures. Learning these techniques made me a lot more confident using these programs and made my overall product look better. I used the microsoft office programs to make graphs and type up written work, I learnt how to make different types of graphs on excel and how to make them more understandable. I now understand how the process of desk top publishing works and how easy it would be for a people to make magazines using computer programs.
