What have you learn't about the process of technologies?

During this part of the course I have learn't how to use different kinds of programs, some of these being online. The main programs I have used would be Photoshop, Flickr and Blogger. The advantages of using these programs would be the end result. I have managed to create a good finished product which looks well presented (photoshop). I have also been able to present this online using Flickr and Blogger. On Flickr I have used the annotation tool too add notes to areas of my work. When hovering over sections of the image text appears to explain what I have done on that area of the magazine, and how I have attracted my audience. A disadvantage of using these programs would have been how the online ones (Flickr and Blogger) sometimes didn't work on the college's internet system. They would often be slow, and sometimes wouldn't post the things I had asked for. I learnt how to use different tools on Photoshop such as layering, blending, changing the levels on a photograph (hue/saturation levels, brightness/contrast levels etc). This helped me make a good looking magazine which looks like it would be on a shop shelf.
I have taken photographs to use for my magazine I this part of the course. Doing this, I have learn't how to use different camera angles effectively and how to make images seem as if they could be from a gig/show. I have used Photoshop to edit my images, taking out the background and changing the brightness/contrast and the hue/saturation. Darker images with some dramatic lighting (un-natural lighting from something like a lamp) are usually used in my genre of music magazines. I have followed this convention and used un-natural and dramatic lighting in my photos.
