Q.6. What have you learned about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

New media technologies have played a huge role in both the collection of data and the creation of the product. Below I will be listing some of the technologies I used and how they benefited me.

Facebook is one of the largest and most used social media products in existence today, as well as owning other popular sites like 'Instagram'. This site gave me access to the rock community and gave me the option to ask questions when choosing the name genre and content of my magazine. Facebook is a tool that can be utalised to get in touch with ones audience and allows for a more immersive product to be created because of it.

Adobe Photoshop is the other big hitter without which I would have no media product whatsoever. It's wide range of varied tools and easy to use UI allowed me to create professional looking work with relative ease. Tutorials like the one below really opened a door and allowed me to do things with my product which I didn't previously know was even possible. I have learned so much about Photoshop over the course of this task that I feel much more confident in the program.

Considering how lacking my knowledge was in using Photoshop, YouTube played a major role through it's various videos which informed me as to how I should go about the creation of my task. With YouTube being linked to google plus i had the added luxury of people being able to answer my questions on G+ rather than youtube.
