Before we started this I already knew how to use Photoshop from using it for brief periods in the past. However I have learnt a lot during the course of construction. I have experimented using different types of software. I was unaware how to construct a magazine cover and edit it in the ways I did. As I already mentioned, I used Photoshop to make the cover, I improved my skills on this a lot and I am now confident using it. I also tried out a different type of editing software called Corel Paint Shop Pro (shown below) which I had on my home computer. This allowed me to edit images at home as well as at school.
I have improved my skills on other software as well as Photo editing programmes. I have improved my knowledge on Powerpoint, Mac computers, SlideShare and online on Blogger. Before the course I was unaware of the online resources I ended up using. I used SlideShare for my first evaluation answer. This turns Powerpoint slides into a slide show that can be posted onto my blog and can be easily view and controlled. I never knew about Blogger either, but after the first few times of using it it became easier. It is a very good way of storing files online and has made communication between student and teachers much easier as they can easily view your work online without having to print every piece induvidually. All of the programmes I have used to create my magazine have been very useful and I will probably end up using them a lot in the future either for more school work or even for other projects.
