Microsoft Publisher

Google
The search engine I used was Google as it’s easy to use and I know how to navigate myself around it.

Photoshop CS4
To create my product I used Photoshop CS4 Extended. I had used it before but I was able to pick up new skills from it and understand and learn more about this software than I knew. It was enjoyable using Photoshop as I could construct what I wanted easy and carefully whilst being able to keep everything in order. I learnt a lot of different things when using Photoshop as I began to learn how to blend images and background and colours more. It helped me physically see what looked good and what didn't which really helped me when I came to deciding on my final colour scheme and layout for my magazine. My knowledge and understanding of photoshop really improved over the course of this task I learnt about different tools that I had no knowledge of before and some were really simple to use once you knew how to.

Laptop
I used my laptop most of the time, there were only a few occasions in which I used the school computers, this is because I was able to organise my work well and do work at home with Photoshop on my laptop.

Camera
I used my camera to take pictures of my subject for the test shots and the actually shots. I am pretty familiar with this camera as it is mine so I had no trouble using it.

Memory Stick
I used my memory stick to transfer data between school computers and my laptop every so often but I mainly used my memory stick as a back-up in case any of my files became lost or corrupted at any point of my coursework.

Blogger
Finally, I used Blogger to keep all my information on for the duration of my magazine. The research and planning, working towards and my final product are on this blog along with the evaluation. There is also a mix pod and some information about me to bring personality into the blog and all posts are labelled and titled clearly. I learnt how to organise my work more clearly when using this and the labels allowed me to search for research I'd done during the making process so I could always refer back to research when making my magazine so I was sticking to what I learnt during that process in how to address/attract my audience.
