In the construction of my product i have learnt so much, specifically in photoshop. I learnt that is is best to put everything that i am doing onto a separate layer so when it comes to editing my final piece it is a lot easier because everything is sectioned out very clearly. I have also learnt how to crop images effectively and move them from file to file, specifically my front cover. I placed my main image of Megan onto a black and white background of a metal fence to connote that prison is behind her. Colour adjustments are also another thing i learnt to do. I now know how to make skin brighter or make things black and white, by simply selecting them and going onto the adjustments option and changing as i see fit.
Another technology i learnt about is the use of a camera. I learnt about the different features of a camera, e.g. for close up or long range shots and also stopping the lighting in the room effecting the picture. I also learnt about low and high angles and the meaning behind them. Low angles makes the person or item look intimidating or to have authority. A high angle shot could connote that the person is "in a hole" and needs to get out and back on top. I also found out that mid shots work best for my magazine because it gives enough facial detail to give a lot of meaning and it is far enough away to show body action which would also denote and connote meanings.
I also learnt about Adobe in design. This is a very good programme that is used by professionals to give a fully glossy effect. It allows me to put in a lot of things that professional music magazines would use e.g. bleed marks.
