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


I used the college computers as my main use of technology. The desktop computer was used to upload and download images from the internet as well as have more software than my own devices at home.

Blogger was very important for the documentation of my research. For my media coursework, I had to blog as the coursework was created throughout the making of my product. I also had to learn the skills to embed links to other software, such as Prezi, in an .html format to upload them to my blog. Blogger has become east to understand as due to the high level of use over the last few months.

FlipSnack is a web-based presentation which I used for blog posts. It is an alternative viewing perspective of information and is a more visual way to presenting images rather than a plain, word document. FlipSnack offers a flip-book animation with accompanying information and research on the other. Personally, I think that FlipSnack is user-friendly and is east to view.  I had never used this software prior to creating my blog but would now use it in the future.

The main software I used to create my products was Adobe Photoshop.. I found the software difficult to use as I had no previous experience with it.  With many of the tools being complicated to use due to my unfamiliarity. I used Photoshop for my preliminary task magazine as well as my main task.  Looking back on the magazine, it looked very un-professional with a lack of style and consistence which  was because of my lack experience. There are many advantages of Photoshop including the wide variety of tools to use which are very professional.
