Through out production and evaluation I have learnt many things, like how to
use new programs to dealing with new websites.
For the bulk of production I was using the program Adobe Photoshop CS4. Before starting the project I had only used the program a few times before and that was for small tasks using the very basic tools. After a few hours of playing with the program I found it very easy to use and find your way around. Whilst using the program I was surprised by the range of tools, effects and the general range of things you can do with the program. The more I used the program the better I think I became at applying the different effects and using the program.The only disadvantage of using photoshop i believe is the detail it goes into for example when blurring images it will ask you to define how much to blur down to a pixel, with no knowledge of the scale I had to guess whilst doing tasks much like it which normally ended up with having to redo the task again. I learnt that photoshop is a very powerful program when it comes to image editing it can be used manipulate images and give ordinary images extra meanings.
Within this project I have also learnt how to use the website blogger, I had no experience with this site or even blogging so I was unsure about the site when I started using it. Before long I had redesigned my blog and became comfortable with the layout of the site, It didn't take long to do with the easy to follow instructions and clear setting of the site. I found using a site like blogger is very useful as you can log on and use it anywhere and continue working on any computer. I also like how you can add anything to a post such as images videos and sound clips which make the site allot more interesting.
Another online site I used was flickr, Again with this site I had no previous experience using. Using the site I don't think is as easy as blogger as I have been using flickr for just as long yet there is still a large amount of things I don't know how to use, Although this is mainly down to the reason that I haven't needed to use the additional functions of the site. Flickr has been very useful in how it lets you annotate you images once you have uploaded them, whats even better is how it lets you link those posts across a range of other online websites which has been very useful when evaluating my magazine.
