Throughout this project I have used many different technologies. The first of which was the use of CMYK colouring, this enabled me to create a consistent house style throughout my project. The CMYK stands for Cyan, Magnolia, Yellow and Black. By using this I managed to make my Just Brass title stay consistent on both my front cover and also in my contents page.
For my project I learnt how to use the software Adobe Photoshop. I learnt how to edit my photographs to suite my project, I created lens flares to make the images stand out and look more interesting. I also used the ‘Magic Lasso’ tool to cut round models bodies so I could create a white background behind them.
In Quark Express I imported my edited images and by using the white background on some of the images I managed to create a text run-around with the text which made the double page spread more interesting.
By doing this project I have learnt how to use a Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) camera to take all of my photographs. I made sure that I had put my camera into the correct mode to capture the best photograph. I have also learnt how to develop my understanding of using professional software such as Quark Express and Adobe Photoshop. This software is allowing amateurs to create near to professional standard media devices without having to be trained.
Another piece of technology that I have used is Blogger, this piece of technology has enabled me to create an up to date log of what I have done throughout my project this helped me create a intrapersonal dialogue. Telephone technology is another device that I have used when I have had to arrange to meet models to take photos of them for my project.
I used social networking sites such as Facebook and Bebo to ask target audience members for their initial views on my magazine. This helped me create various reports throughout my project so I could keep track of what people were saying about my project.
