What have you learnt about the technologies from the process of constructing this product
I used Moodle for some resources and examples. I used the camera to take the pictures included in my magazine. I also learned about the different types of camera shots/angles.

I learned how to use Photoshop too. This enabled me to edit images and make my front cover.
I also used InDesign to create the contents page as it has the best tools to do this.

Using Photoshop enabled me to edit and improve images I had taken of students in college. This allowed my front cover to look more professional, as the main aspect of it is the image.

Using InDesign allowed me to create a professional looking contents page, due to the tools it has for doing this. I was able to use a wide variety of its tools to put the page together.
