WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNT ABOUT TECHNOLOGIES FROM THE
PROCESS OF CONSTRUCTING THIS PRODUCT?
The main thing I have come to learn about the process of producing a
magazine, is just how much focused, hard work goes into it. Every single
little detail needs to be perfect, and the imagination behind it needs to be
good enough, and interesting enough to draw in the right kind of of
audience. I also really considered the amount of competition that is out on
the market. I never though it would be easy to construct a front cover,
contents page and double page spread. After analysing plenty of other
magazine examples, I knew mine had to be up to a certain professional
standard. I used mainly Photoshop to design and create all my pieces but it
wasn't easy. It took a lot of time and effort to get my work up to a good
standard. I also learnt about the importance of a good camera. If the final
quality of the photo isn't good enough it makes the whole thing look
unprofessional.
I didn't think it would be an easy task, however a lot of hard work needed to be
put in, and if it wasn't it will show straight away with the finished work.
