7. What have you learnt about the technologies from the process of constructing this product
Using InDesign to create
my content and double
pages.
Using Moodle to get information
and recourses.
I used Photoshop to make
the front cover
8. Photoshop
I used Photoshop to create my front cover
• In Photoshop I learnt how to create an
international paper, this started me off to make my
magazine cover. After that I imported a picture
then dragged it to the side and used the move
button to place it where I wanted it to be.
• On my text I added a black outline to make it stand
out. I used the stroke icon to do this, with this I
could change the width and the colour I wanted it
to be.
• Under the words ‘enrichment information’ I found
out how to add an arrow to give it more affect. I
used this by adding a shape and filling it in black. I
then right clicked and sent to back, so the text was
on top of it.
9. InDesign
I used InDesign to create my content page
• I learnt how to make a box using rectangle
frame tool to place my images in to do so I
had to use the place button to actually get
it in the box, then I learnt how to resize and
move around images on InDesign by using
the move button.
• I also added text to my content page and
changed the sizes of the font to make
subheading stand out. I also added page
numbers and used eyedropper tool to
make them all the same colour.
