The student learned several technologies in creating their magazine product. They used Pin Treat to create a mood board on their iPad to plan photo shoots. Photos were taken with a Canon DSLR camera, which had auto settings that took some time to learn to manually adjust. Photos were imported to a laptop using a USB cable and edited in iPhoto software to lighten dark shots, apply warmer tones, and remove blemishes. Pixlr software was used on the laptop to create the front cover, contents page, and double page spread, allowing addition of text over images and fading effects. Screenshots were taken periodically due to the inability to undo changes in Pixlr after applying them.

Planning Pictures In order to plan the ways in which I was going to take the pictures for my magazine I created a mood board using pin treat. I also looked many more different covers online. I then saved everything that I had found and put it onto my iPad. Before the shoot with my models I then showed them the mood board and other images on my iPad to give them a brief overview of what I wanted them to do.
Taking the pictures In order to take my pictures I used a camera from school which was a Canon EOS 1100D. The settings on the camera took a while to figure out, as they were all on auto so the camera changed see the settings that it thought would be best. As I was taking my photos outside it and had got dark the camera thought that it was best to have the flash on. However this made the pictures come out lighter in some areas than others. As the settings were changed the auto focus also turned off meaning that I had to ensure I focused the camera myself before taking the picture.
Importing the Pictures After I had taken the pictures I used the USB lead in order to import all of the images to my laptop. As the pictures were taken on a public camera I deleted them once they had all been added onto my laptop. I then kept them all on iPhoto to later be edited.
Editing the Photo’s As I have a Apple laptop I was able to use iPhoto as my editing software. The software was easy to use as it allowed you to undo and re do things if any mistakes had been made. I used the the effects the most on the software. As my pictures were taken outside in the dark I had to make them a lot lighter, iPhoto allowed me to do this successfully without making it look like the pictures had been over edited. Next I used the warmer effect in order to give my photo’s warmer tones. The blemish tool then allowed me to remove any imperfections or blemishes that my modes may have had.
Pixlr In order to create my Front Cover, Contents Page and Double Page Spread I used Pixlr. This is free to use online however I put the software onto my laptop as it allowed me to carry on with my magazine even when I didn't have any internet. Pixlr allowed me to do many different things to my magazine like adding text on to the image,place images onto of each other and fade certain things. Like the letters T.R.B on my DPS. The negative to the software is once you have pressed apply to the thing that you are working on you are then not able to go back and change it. So I screenshot every now and then to prevent me having to get rid of everything that I had been working on if I didn't like something that I had added at the very beginning.
