PagesPages‘Pages’ is a program on the mac that I have used to make my music magazine. Whilst creating my music magazine, I have learnt how to use this technology to the best of my ability.

I have learnt a variety of techniques from using pages, firstly I have learnt how to put borders on my text and pictures. I have also learnt how to arrange different shapes around text and images to create a layout of my magazine. I also know how to download fonts off of the internet and use them in my ‘Pages’ document to make my documents look more appealing. These techniques have enabled me to have more of an understanding of ‘Pages’ on the mac.

Photoshop Photoshop This is a program installed on the mac. It is used on the mac to edit images, I used this to edit the images on my music magazine.

With this program I edited al of the photos used on my music magazine. With photoshop I have learnt how to increase effects on the photos like contrast, brightness, colour etc. I also learnt how to crop images to focus only on the important parts of the picture. For the pictures on my magazine I needed to get rid of blemishes on the photo and things like spots which I now know how to do. I also used special effects like turning a photo into black and white and negative etc. Using these effects have helped me to understand ‘photoshop’ more.

WebsitesWebsitesFrom this project, I had to able to use a variety of different medias to show in my coursework, this is what led me to understanding different website technologies.

Below are the main websites that I have used.

SLR CameraSLR CameraBefore I could start with photoshop, I had to be able to use a SLR camera to take all of my photos in high quality for my magazine.

I now know how to use an SLR camera well and I know how to use all of the settings on the camera. For example I know how to change the aperture, focus, shutter speed, ISO etc. I also know what angles look good when taking photos and how to take a photo to show off an effect. Learning how to use this camera has helped me to improve my picture quality which were used in my music magazine.
