Keyboard and mouse

• The keyboard and mouse were crucial elements to compose my product and my coursework as without it I wouldn’t of been able to produce my work. On things like my evaluation. I learnt different methods an shortcuts that I could use in order to erase or copy work to copy and paste ctrl c + shift + 4. without the use of a mouse I wouldn’t of been able to do the basics like control my computer as I wouldn’t be ale to access anything on screen without using a mouse to direct it.

SD CARDThe SD card allowed me to be able to keep memory of the images that I had took using the camera , I was able to transfer this onto my computer and import them onto photoshop in order t create my magazine

Flash trigger

• This is a piece of equipment that send an automatic signal to the strobe lights to flash once the camera has been clicked to capture the photo. It allows more light to come through and bounce off the white background so the quality of the photo is increased.

PHOTOSHOP

• Photoshop allows to edit photos and refine details within the image. I used this to change the hue and saturation of my photo so that the image appeared brighter and glowed more. I darkened he skin tone of both y artists so that the white on the clothing would contrast. The cover image was the main image that I changed the saturation as it was the main selling point of my magazine to attract the reader

application which allows you to create work such as posters, flyers, brochures magazines. I used this to create my article this allowed me to put my images on a double page spread and and in text for my article. Initially I created the background on photoshop and placed it onto in design.

Instead of using slides prezi uses one large canvas that allows you to pan and zoom to various parts of the canvas and empasize ideas that are presented. By using this is has allowed me to create my evaluation by using various ways to present them.
