The use of technologies

I used Adobe InDesign to make the magazine look professional and realistic. I developed skills such as knowing how to make a magazine look realistic, how to contrast a picture and words and how to structure a page.

I used a Sony camera to take my photos. It was very easy to use and the picture quality came out well throughout however some things were out of my control, for example during the photo shoot we would have to wait for clouds to come over at some stages so that the lighting would be perfect to take the photos, this is an example:
 Bad lighting                                                                                              Good lighting

I didn't use photo shop for my magazine photos this is because I wanted it to be natural, country genre is more rural and it started from the cowboys who would be out in nature everyday, so I thought not editing my pictures was very important for my style and the way my magazine looks and the feel it has.






I used Microsoft PowerPoint for much of my research and planning, and for some my evaluation analysis. It was very useful and worked well with the blogger as all you had to do was put the document into a Jpeg and you could easily put it onto blogger.
