Use of Appropriate Digital Technology/ ICT in my Work

PC/Laptop - To help me create my magazine I will have to use a PC or a Laptop to develop different elements of my magazine, such as: storing images and text on there as a backup to a USB stick. I will also be able to edit pictures through my laptop whenever I want. I will also be able to keep up to date with tasks that have been set through word press, and also keep my blog page updated at all times.

USB – To keep my work safe at all times I will keep all of my work on a USB stick as a backup to my Laptop/Computer, by using a memory stick I will decrease the chances of me losing my work at school as the computers in school are unreliable most of the times. With a USB I can use it anywhere, even at home and it will speed up my work.

Camera – I will be using a camera to take all the various shot types I will need to create my magazine. I will be using my own camera so I could keep all the shots I have taken, as later on I could then choose the pictures I want and do not want. By using a school camera I will be only able to use it while in school, whereas with my own camera I can use it whenever I like, and keep practising my shots.

Wordpress will be the main piece of software which will be consistently used throughout the creation of my magazine, I will use it to hand my work in, look at my peers work and take ideas from it to help with my own. Wordpress will be available to me at all times, at home and at school. It will also help me in terms of managing and storing my work, I will be able to edit my work on there too.

Adobe Photoshop will be the most important software throughout the whole of the construction & development section, it will be used to edit and create a new look on certain pictures that need work on them. There are certain tools on it that I will use to add fine detail and quality to my pictures. Having used Adobe before I will not need to waste time getting used to using it.

Adobe Illustrator I will use to manipulate and edit pictures, so I can get the exact type of shot I want. It may take me a bit of time to get used to this as I have not used it before.
