•(Slide 1) In the process of
creating my Instrumental I have used a range of technologies from various
editing software such as Adobe Photoshop to presentational software such as
Microsoft PowerPoint. (include images of different logos)
•(Slide 2) Despite using Photoshop
before, my skills have developed during the course of creating the magazine,
especially the front cover, I have also learnt how to use other tools within
Photoshop which included altering the appearance of an image completely through
the adjustments and filter tabs. Using the adjustments tab allows you to change
the saturation of an image as well as changing the brightness which is
beneficial for making the text more visible on top of the image. Navigating
through the different options under the filters tab allows you to apply
different effect on images to make them look more aesthetically pleasing.

•(Slide 3) InDesign was a program
which I have not come across before and was used for the creation of the
contents page and the double page spread. Although it was a new program to me,
it was relatively easy to use as it was very similar to Photoshop, but I did
come across some difficulties in relation to the text and images. When creating
the contents page and double page spread I had to include two different boxes,
the rectangle tool and the rectangle frame tool, when I was inputting text or
images, this was different to Photoshop as Photoshop allows you to input text
and images straight onto the page. (include InDesign logo)
•(Slide 4) Illustrator was another
program which was relatively new to me and was used to create and edit my
masthead. The different uses for the features of Illustrator were demonstrated
to the class and showed us how to manipulate text in different ways, we learnt
how to make text take the shape of a chosen shape, for example we were taught
to make the text follow the path of a bendy line. Although many alterations can
be made to the text, I opted to follow the designs of other magazine mastheads
and keep mine quite simple by using a simple font and only one colour. (include

•(Slide 5) Another new technology
which I came across was an online technology called Blogger. I had used Blogger
to upload the progression of my media product. Blogger was very useful as I was
able to receive feedback on my work which was used to improve the quality of my
work. I learnt how to upload images, text, embed hyperlinks into my posts.
Blogger is a simple technology to use allowing the user to edit their uploads
with ease. (include Blogger logo)
•(Slide 6) Microsoft PowerPoint was
really easy to use as I am familiar with its features, it is a very simple and
basic technology to use for presentations. I did not come across any problems
when using PowerPoint as it is very reliable and easy to navigate through. I
had used Microsoft PowerPoint when presenting the pitch for my magazine.
