Question 6

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

With the construction of my product, I have used many technologies to produce it. The first of all would be a Nikon camera. This was used to construct a photo shoot for images to use on my product. From the images, I used an app to create a filter that could benefit the photo to make is darker and more glossy. 



After the filter was used on my images, I picked out the best ones that would attract the target audience. With the chosen image I then used photoshop. From this I had also added extra filters to suit the genre by adding a dark undertone for the rock vibe the image needed to give off. A vibrance effect was also used to enhance the colours of the clothing but keeping the dark under layer. This made the image appear bright but standing out from the page that was a vibrant red. 

I then continued to use the magic wand tool that cut the image out automatically. Due to the sharp edges I then used the pencil tool to draw on the edges to blend them into the background. From this, the image has began to show pixelation. To fix this, I used the blur tool to blend out the skin to make is look smoother. From this, the image deformed where I had to use the paint tool to draw on other parts to reclaim the image. 

This was also used with the contents main image and the double page spread. This is due to the same filters used to match the rest of the magazine product. The text was used by photoshop as well as it was only a simple text that I needed. The masthead of the magazine was also used in photoshop where I had used the pencil tool and a filter to create a glow, patterned effect and the cracks in the image.
