What have you learned about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

I have learned that in the modern media industry there are lots of ways to put your message across. I have learned that digital cameras are substantially better than film cameras as the images are easier to get at and manipulate once they have been taken. The printer has been an important tool in my product development as colours on different images appear different printed out, to how they appear on screen. So using it allowed me to perfect my colours.
                  

I used a video camera during my research. It was used to film a focus group of people including myself discussing four different magazines and why they were so effective. The most important tool throughout this project has been Adobe Photoshop. It has completely changed how design work is done. It is easy to use and once you know the basics and you can create some outstanding images on it. 

Although not as regularly used as Photoshop, the internet has played a big role in my media product. All of the research tasks were done on the internet. This is because it is easy to access and use, also because it contains the correct and necessary information that I need.
