I have learnt about the influence the media has on us.
I used a variety of new applications I have never used before to create my magazine s and talk about them. I have used Photoshop, InDesign, Prezi and Blogger.

In photoshop I learnt how to edit my photos and create effects texts that I have never done before. I had little experience from previous task but now I feel really confident using it. I can confidently use it to make another magazine without guidance or instruction.

I did not like using indesign because it felt over complicated as it was similar to photoshop but harder to use because it had a lot of restrictions. I can now use it properly learning how to make a double page spread and learning special effects to do with text.

Prezi was really simple to use as this was my first time using it I did not have any problem with navigation or creating a prezi to produce information.

I constructed a double page spread in InDesign which is probably the most complicated programme I learnt to use. Because of my experience with Photoshop I was able to adapt quickly to the ways of Indesign because it is very similar but put into a different format and design. With my experience I’ll be able to create a book using Indesign.

This was second time working with Photoshop. I enjoyed using Photoshop because there wasn't a thing I couldn't do on it. It felt as if I could do anything I wanted on it. I found  it easy to manipulate and my magazine was produced as if it was professional. I learnt about the power Photoshop has to alter appearances.

Blogger what I am using now to publicise my work was easy for me to use. Everything on it was straight forward and easily manipulated. I also learnt how to make presentations on Flickr and Prezi but I didn't enjoy using them because I found them complicated. Using Blogger has cemented all my knowledge on blogs and I believe and use all blogging websites.
