Through constructing a magazine, the author learned how to use technologies like DSLRs and Photoshop. The DSLR allowed the author to take high quality pictures and manipulate lighting and focus. Watching Photoshop tutorials helped the author understand how to edit pictures and combine elements using layers. These technologies helped make the magazine look more professional. The author also researched fonts online and imported them into Photoshop. Throughout the project, the author used presentation technologies like VoiceThread, Prezi, YouTube and 際際滷Share because PowerPoint was too limited.
