Technology

In order to research, plan and create my magazine I have used the following:

I originally started off my project using a Mac. However, I found this difficult to operate when creating my school magazine so I decided I would do a better job with my music magazine using equipment I more familiar with and could use with much more ease.

So, I decided I would create my magazine at home using my own computer. This computer is a HP Pavilion t430.uk. It is quite old but has had many changes made to it such as much more up to date programs added, memory upgrade and a new motherboard - so it does not seem slow or 'out of date' and could be used well.

However, my computer does not have the feature of saving a file as a JPEG (which is how I uploaded images of my actual work) so I had to use the family computer to do that, which is a HP Pavilion a671uk. I also edited some of my work from this computer too.

 All of the above technology was used to blog my work, as were various school computers too.

I used Microsoft Publisher 2007 to create both my drafts and final piece. This is the program that I access to both on my computer and the family computer.

I used Google as my search engine to find any information or pictures I needed for my project.

I used Blogger to display my research and work for my project.

Picnik was used to edit both my draft and final photos.

My camera, the Fujifilm A235, was used to take my final photos. (My draft photos were taken using a school cameras) My camera is 12.2 mega pixels, so the photos as of quite good quality.
