Throughout the project of my music magazine, I have come across lots of new software and technologies which I haven’t previously used before.

In the beginning I had to create an account on blogger.com which is an online blog that can be created easily where a person can add any notes and coursework or even projects they want to so other people and teachers can access through and have a look at their work. I found this resource very helpful as there is no tension of sending other to other people and the work can easily be uploaded on the blog and it permits me to upload any latest expansions in my magazine, including any pictures, PowerPoint and blog entrees even. 

For my task I have to carry out many researches on different features of the media. Another source is Google images where I have researched many images of different magazines and finding out how the magazine looks related to my magazine genre. I found this source very helpful as I could easily get images and information about magazine and it’s really helpful as you don’t have to go buy any magazine as you don’t always have a big selection of magazine to choose from. I easily found the images of different contents, front and double page spread magazines images related to pop genre and didn't came across any hassle.

For my task, I had to take pictures of my artist for front, contents and double age spread. I used a digital canon camera to take my photos. I borrowed a camera from school and practiced on how to use it and also got help from my teacher.

After uploading the photos onto my computer, I had to edit them and for that I've used a program known as ‘Photoshop’. This program allows me to edit my photos, changing the colors, sizes, cutting the background and whatever I wanted to do with my photos. I found it bit hard to use at first however after time to time I have got to know on how to use the basics and I was really impressed through what I have achieved by using this program.

I have used ‘Slide share’ program to placed my work onto it and that how other people can see it at any time and its really useful when you make presentations so you can easily add onto that program. And other people can comment on your work if they like it or if they want to see something different then they can easily comment on it. The presentation also includes script of the presentation underneath so if anyone wants to read that way they can easily do.

Another program I have used was Prezi which was also similar to slide share where other people can see your work however it’s created in creative way and it’s more interesting that catches audience attention as well and in there are different section where you can add your work and it’s another way of sharing your work.
