1. Evaluation: How did you use new media technologies in the construction, research, planning and evaluation stages? Throughout the many planning, research, creating and evaluating stages I have used a lot of different media technologies such as the following..
2. Internet: I used Google to get pictures of existing music magazines in order to research. I also used google to search for existing artists and interviews for the construction of my Double page spread. I used DaFont to retrieve my fonts for my front cover, contents and dps pages. It was very useful as there was a wide variety of choice compared to Photo Shop. I used slide share to upload all of my power point slideshows. This was necessary so that I could reduce the space used on my blog, and make a more appealing entry.
3. Scanner: I used a scanner to scan in all my initial drawings which I used to plan out the layout of my front covers and pre lim tasks etc. I found this really useful, as I could draw exactly what I wanted to easier than I would have been able to if I was using a computer or Apple Mac.
4. Memory Stick: I used a memory stick to transfer images and documents from my laptop at home, to the Apple Macs at school so that I could make the most of the time I had both in and out of school hours. I also used it to back up my files in case of any unexpected errors.
5. Microsoft Excel, Powerpoint & Word: I used Microsoft Excel to display the results from my questionnaire and poll, and create a results chart. I used Powerpoint to create my slideshows, and I used word to write notes, create a questionnaire, and save researched documents.
6. Apple Macs: I used an Apple Mac to do all of my work on at school such as uploading, downloading, creating, designing and researching. I found this very difficult as I was inexperienced in using them, but in time it became easier.
7. Photoshop: I used Photo shop to construct my music magazine. I found this really difficult to start with as I had little experience with the programme. Now, I feel as if I have learnt a lot in the process and it was a really useful programme to work with!
8. Blogger: I used Blogger to upload all my photos, Final pieces and research processes. I found that this was a really easy and efficient way of displaying all my work and I could access it at all times, where ever I was which made it quicker to post an entry.
9. Camera: I used this camera to take all my photos, and upload them onto the computer in order to use them for my final pieces.
