Q6.What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this

product?

Technology used

• I have used Microsoft PowerPoint create my slideshows and presentation for most of my work.

Adobe Audition 3 Adobe Audition 3 is an audio editing

program that allows people to edit music and audio files. This is a software that I was not familiar with so I asked my teacher, asked one of my friends and just played around with it till I got the hang of it. By using this software, I found out how to edit my sound files. I used program for my interviews and audience feedback.

Microsoft Word

• This program I have used often to type most of my work. For the evaluation task, the planning and research is where I used this program the most

• Microsoft Word is essential for this project as it can ensured I have no spelling errors or any other grammatical errors by using the tool “spell check” and “grammer check”.

Microsoft Excel• Microsoft Excel I used this program to turn my

results from the questionnaire I did into graphs inorder to gain a better understanding of my target audience. It successful transformed my results into graphs which made it look more organised, easier to read and understand as the graph present them in a more straightforward way.

Blogger

Blogger is a blog publishing service that offers users to make blog posts. I used this service to upload all my work. I could have used wordpress.com or blogspot.com instead but it is much easier and simpler to work with Blogger in my opinion. This is the first time I made a blog and I found that it is one of the simplest things a regular internet surfer can use. It was quick, efficient and easy to use.

ScribdScribd is a document sharing service that allows users to upload documents, for the use of storing and sharing the documents. This is the first time that I have used this service. During my coursework I have used this service multiple times, uploading documents like some word documents containing so colour combinations I said I would use. All I needed to do was upload the file and copy the embed code onto the HTML code for the post.
