Evaluation part 6

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

From what I can see by looking bat at my preliminary task, I have been able to exceed my limitations and further learn a wide variety of techniques which has helped my create my magazine at the optimum level, throughout the course. The most common application I have used, and the one that has consistently been able to exceed my expectations is 'Photoshop'. I have used this frequently as it has a wide range of techniques on it which I was able to experiment with. When I first started creating my magazine, I was limited with what I could do with it, in the sense that I didn't know of many options I had. However, when I used 'Photoshop', it allowed me to express my ideas in a way that I didn't think was possible. I had completely re-worked my magazine cover page, which I was only able to do with the expertise that 'Photoshop' had to offer. I was also able to change an ordinary image of my model into something that looked classy, and inspiring.

It was good to have such a variety of options available. This is relevant as I was able to create a much better looking magazine, rather than a magazine that I didn't like the look of. It was useful to check what kind of style I like the most as well.

To conclude, I believe that having a wide variety of platforms to create your magazine on has been useful to both make your magazine better, and to expand your knowledge for future products. With my evaluation, I used a variety of platforms, and some of which I hadn't used before. To be given the chance to use it has allowed me to push myself further and to get the best possible outcome.
