Q6.What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this

product?

Technology used

• I have used Microsoft PowerPoint create my slideshows and presentation for most of my work.

• PowerPoint works best for things that are presented visually, not verbally. It helps when you need to draw a picture.

• Without the use of powerpoint my work would have looked un organised, unpresentable and just a mess.

Adobe Audition 3 Adobe Audition 3 is an audio editing

program that allows people to edit music and audio files. This is a software that I was not familiar with so I asked my teacher, asked one of my friends and just played around with it till I got the hang of it. By using this software, I found out how to edit my sound files. I used program for my interviews and audience feedback.

Microsoft Word

• This program I have used often to type most of my work. For the evaluation task, the planning and research is where I used this program the most

• Microsoft Word is essential for this project as it can ensured I have no spelling errors or any other grammatical errors by using the tool “spell check” and “grammer check”.

Microsoft Excel• Microsoft Excel I used this program to turn my

results from the questionnaire I did into graphs inorder to gain a better understanding of my target audience. It successful transformed my results into graphs which made it look more organised, easier to read and understand as the graph present them in a more straightforward way.

• End result my data is easy to understand and professional, therefore increasing the appearance and quality of work I produced.

USB FLASH DRIVE

• The USB flash drive I used was immensly vital during this process as it allowed me not only to transfer work from one place to another without it getting lost or deleted.

Blogger

Blogger is a blog publishing service that offers users to make blog posts. I used this service to upload all my work. I could have used wordpress.com or blogspot.com instead but it is much easier and simpler to work with Blogger in my opinion. This is the first time I made a blog and I found that it is one of the simplest things a regular internet surfer can use. It was quick, efficient and easy to use.

ScribdScribd is a document sharing service that allows users to upload documents, for the use of storing and sharing the documents. This is the first time that I have used this service. During my coursework I have used this service multiple times, uploading documents like some word documents containing so colour combinations I said I would use. All I needed to do was upload the file and copy the embed code onto the HTML code for the post.

Slideshare

Slideshare is an online program which allows people to view presentations that you have made and was used to upload the presentations that I had made for my market research results and evaluation, it allowed me to classify my work ensuring it looked presentable and appear much more professional.

Divshare• This website allowed me to

upload Mp3 files and then post

the embed code onto my blog.

Photoshop• Photoshop has allowed me alter images to make them more neat, more stylish. It

has allowed me to actually create a magazine. Photoshop is one the key programs I have used through out my entire coursework.#

• Photoshop has allowed me to cut, burn, use gradient, use lasso tools, clone stamps and many more things.

dictaphone• Dictaphone is the device that

allows you to record and save peoples voice. I used this piece of technology for my blog to help with interviews and audience feedback.
