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

Adobe Photoshop

When I first started using photoshop I already had past knowledge of using photoshop from past years and I didn't think that I would learn anymore but I was wrong, from making a few music magazines I learnt a lot more about photoshop than I previously thought I could. Other things that I learnt when I used photoshop for such an extensive amount of time was that you can possible create anything using it. For example some of the new techniques I learned though out editing my images in photoshop was to work with the natural lighting in the image to get the best effect possible using tools to change the contrast. One of the biggest pluses I learn making my magazine covers would be the layering of the image to get the best effects from changing the opacity of the image.The part of my image I'm most happy with would be the tittle I didn't think at first I could pull it off but after alot of working with I finally made it work with the design of my cover.

The only real disadvantage of using photoshop would have to be the amount of things you can do, it makes it rather hard to remember everything other disadvantages would have to be the tools in some photoshops differ from computer to computer, for example you could use a font on one computer go onto another and find out it doesn't have that type of font installed meaning you can't edit the work.

When you use free internet applications such as Flickr or Blogger is that you have no control over what the website does with your work, also you have no say in what happens to the website, for example it could go down at any point and you wouldn't be able to access your work.
