#4) What have you learnt about technology while making your magazine? After The first example of a technology that I used to complete and perfect my magazine was Adobe Photoshop. This allowed me to polish off and define any picture that I took so it looks perfect. This could have been as easy as increasing the brightness to add life or something a bit more technical such as using the clone stamp to remove unwanted parts of the picture that disrupt the photo. Increas e of brightn ess Use of the clone stamp This can be seen in the two images to the left. The first picture was the original that I took when doing the photo-shoot. I didn’t like the look of how the picture was presented but I did like the picture its self and I wanted to use it for the magazine. By using to 2 styles that I had learnt I was able to heighten the brightness to add more freshness and so it was visible to see the artist, his emotion and the guitar its self. However I did still have to remove the shelf that was in the way whilst taking the shoot. So to do this is used the clone stamp tool on Photoshop and whipped the shelf out of the way and help it appear that it was just a continuation of the dark wall. These both helped me get my picture

perfect so I was able to use it in the magazine. 2. Another
technology that I have used in my magazine was Adobe InDesign. This
is used by most of the editing teams on most of the recent
magazines that we see on the shelf's today. It is used to give me
the outline of where I want the tools on my page. It helps me
design the magazine the way I want it, whilst giving me a helping
hand by providing me boarders and outlines. This is an example here
of the outlines from InDesign. It lets me know where everything is
set and it helps me move it around to the best place. 3. Another
technology would be blogger. Blogger has helped me through the
whole course of this magazine. It allowed me to set a diary to keep
me organised through the design and research of my magazine.
Without blogger it would have been very difficult to keep a plan of
my research to then actually make a magazine that it to standard of
the British selves. Thats what I aimed to do.
