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

I have learnt so much through the duration of this project about technology. Before I started this project I would use Microsoft Publisher and Paint if I was ever going to do editing, however now I don’t think I could ever go back.
When we first started the project we did a rough workshop which gave me a overview of both InDesign and Photoshop. Before then I had never used either programme before in my life, so I was interested and enthusiastic about using them both.
So at first I knew the basics but it wasn’t until I actually started editing I learnt about the different tools on both programmes. In Photoshop I learnt that you can change pretty much everything on a photo. The main features I used on Photoshop where the magic eraser tool and the paint brush. Both of these features enabled me to get the right effect that I wanted on the images I used and the Masterhead.
In Indesign I learnt how to edit text and rearrange them into any style of shape I wanted. I liked this because it enabled me to achieve the elements of my magazine which I probably wouldn’t of been able to achieve in any other programme.
Overall I have progressively learnt throughout this project how to use this technology. I started with the basics and have progressively got better and better at editing and creating elements with pictures and documents it has also given me an insight to how magazine editors create magazines and how much work goes into creating every little detail.
