The construction of this media product has greatly enhanced my knowledge of some basic programmes and software. With the help and advice of a Photography student, I have learned how to use a Cannon D500 SLR camera to take the photos necessary. Unlike other digital cameras, this camera provided me with a wide variety of options and unique features which made my pictures look a lot more professional.
Also, I've become if not proficient at least skilled in the use of Adobe Photoshop Elements 8, both in class with the teacher and experimenting with it at home. Having so many new and improved features makes it one of the best image editing software there is and so I didn't spend time trying to find another similar software such as Inkscape or Picassa, but solely used this one, perfecting the product to the best of my ability.
I chose not to use Desktop Publisher because I found it rather tricky and a bit more complicated. Other websites that helped develop my product were dafont.com - where I found and downloaded the font I've used for the masthead and contents; www.surveymonkey.com - which helped me get feedback from a wide and quite varied audience; www.issuu.com - where I have researched existing magazines created by other teens.
