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

Through the whole course of constructing magazines I have used Blogger, Photoshop, inDesign, PowerPoint, YouTube, SlideShare, Prezi and etc.

Blogger I have used it before so it was easier for me, I found it easy to use, learnt more things about layout by finding it myself. It is an easy way to express yourself because it is easy to use, to publish almost any format of your chosen work as it works well with other programs or technologies.

Photoshop CS6. I have never used it before and found it very hard to start using, was not trained enough to understand what I am doing, and that's why was so behind with all my work. Also thought it was not fair because have to be bought necessarily as asked to work a lot of time after college whereas cannot do it. Time consuming because hard to find how to do easy thing, so in the end to edit small bits I have used picmonkey.com rather than Photoshop. In PS working with big files which means bigger possibility of the whole system to crash and you lose your work very easily.

InDesign CS6. I think it's really similar to Microsoft Word so found it easy to use, easy to find everything and to express yourself. Did not have major big problems with this program.

Other small websites used to publish my work virtually wasn't hard to use either.

I would rather do all this work myself, not on computer as I find it easier to make different, to make something unique and unknown but it is just my opinion. The main thing when the system crashes you lose everything and have to start from the beginning whereas doing it by hand means you are responsible yourself for what you did and how you will develop your work.
