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

By Banke

Technologies and programs I used: I used different technologies followed by a range of programs. My work

of art was conducted on the computer using photoshop. I had used photoshop in the past but my knowledge of how to use it was very weak, so due to this process I had developed a good enough , strong understanding of how to use it later on in life which is very useful as it is a very good program to use when it come to editing pictures. In order to get pictures I used a camera, which I took with me to various locations so I could get images that relate to my genre e.g a picture of a piano.I used a range of programs to present my work for example , prezi, powerpoint, powtoons, e-maze ect. From this learnt about different ways my work can be presented which will help in the future, for any of my other subjects.

What did I struggle with ? I struggled using photoshop since my knowledge of how to use it, wasn't

as good as it is now. For example here and there I got confused with how to use layers in the right way and when to use it and also how to cut part of the pictures. Sometimes the photoshot program froze which sometimes led to me having to delete my work but resilient kept me going. I had a couple of issues with the camera due to the fact there was only a limited amount of cameras and memory cards within my college so to solve this problem I used my phone just to save time.
