CCR Draft #4

From what I partially mentioned in the previous question, I used multiple sources of technology, both of which I had used before as well as some that were completely new to me. For one, I used my iPhone camera (iPhone 10 plus) for all the photos. Being familiar with my camera was useful in that I didn't need to completely learn something new but I got more practice and I was able to learn new angles and shots such as a high angle that was integrated into my magazine. To edit the photos, I used an app on my phone called, Photoshop Mix which allowed me to adjust the brightness and color correct the photos as well as crop the photos. Throughout this process of creating a magazine, I have used blogger to digitally journal my experience and steps of creating the magazine. One final use of technology is the software Publisher which I used to design and put together the pages of my magazine. I had never used this software before so I went in blindly. However, by using Publisher exclusively to design all four pages, I had become proficient in all things Publisher and feel confident if I need to use it again. Overall, the multiple types of technology and software I had not only learned but used in-depth, helped successfully create my magazine and brought my vision to life.

CCR Draft #3

My production skills increasingly developed throughout the process of creating my magazine. I not only learned how Publisher works but became proficient in designing pages. Another skill I developed was how to outline and plan. For my magazine pages, I needed to have a clear understanding of the layout of each page so I could plan the length of my article and pictures. Each page of my magazine was outlined and designed before I had even taken pictures or written the article. A third skill I learned through the process of creating my magazine was how to creatively look at things. What I mean by that is that I learned to "break my comfort zone" of doing just what I know and try and do creative things such as creating shapes for my article page which I would have not done before this project.
