In order to create my music magazine, Flow, I had to learn how to use technologies that I had not used before, and make use of things that I already had. All of these things contributed to my end product of a cover, contents page and double page spread for my magazine which I think had a professional appearance.
CAMERA - photography
The camera that I used for my photos was not my own camera, I used the models camera as it was much better than my own which is an Olympus VG-120, 14 megapixel with a 5x Wide Optical Zoom. Although this is a fairly good camera, I wanted my photos to be of a better quality so this is the camera that I used to take my photos, it is a Canon EOS 1100D Digital SLR Camera which is 12.2 megapixels.
PHOTOSHOP - editing and making
As well as using physical equipment to create my magazine, I also used the software on the computers at college in order to both edit the photos and create my magazine. The main program that I used was Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.5 which was the edition which was accessible at college. I used Photoshop for two reasons: to edit the photos for my magazine, and also to create the actual documents. I had not really used Photoshop before and I did not know anything about it so it was a totally new experience using it to create my magazine, but I soon got to grips with it and I feel it has enabled me to create a professional looking magazine.
