Evaluation: Question 7
Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression of it to the full product?
Evaluation: Question 6
What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
To present my research and processes onto my blog I have had to learn how to use certain different types of software so that I could bring some diversity to my blog. My favourite one of these to use was SlideShare which is an online PowerPoint that can be easily embedded into a blog. Along with using SlideShare I used iMessage (to receive feedback from people in my target audience), voice memos and SoundCloud, Emaze, Movie Maker, PowerPoint, Microsoft Word and Notepad (to type up my work and notice spelling and grammar errors easier).
Another technology that I've learnt about through the construction of the project are cameras and lighting. Although I knew how to use a camera previously I now know more about its different modes and different ways to use it. I have also learnt the hard way that it is easier to make a portrait photo work with magazine covers and contents pages as if it is landscape you are more likely to accidentally crop out the top of a head or a hand. The lights are something else I've learnt to work with as before this project I had no clue how to use them and now I even know which ones work most effectively for the type of image I'm trying to take.
Photoshop has been the software most involved in the creation of my final product and also the software that I believe I have improved most at using. When the project began I had completely no idea how to even select an item and delete its background however by the end I had not only learnt how to use the basic tools but had also remembered the shortcuts. Learning how to use the grid effectively on Photoshop was definitely the best thing that I picked up from this software. Doing this enabled me to line up and organise my work giving it the best and clean finish that my work would look lost without. Another thing that I learnt to use on Photoshop was the healing tool which allowed me to remove all blemishes from my models. At one point in the project I even used the lasso and magic wand tools to highlight my model's hair then I changed the hue and saturation making her hair red.
