The new technologies we have used during this project is QuarkXpress with Adobe Photoshop to construct our front page and contents page. This has enabled us to achieve our task as it is more professional and easier than using Word or Publisher. We used a Nikon D60 Digital Camera to take the pictures. This camera was easy to use and had a wide range of different shots and ranges that we could of used to take the picture.
In adobe Photoshop we used the magic wand tool and the lasso tool to cut around the pictures as to the picture a more professional look.We were not able to put into our front cover female model which would attract our male target audience. When placing text or a picture in the wrong place, you had to go back to the start if you made a mistake and start again.
If you were unfamilar with the software, it was difficult to use, such as QuarkXpress and transferring the picture from QuarkXpress to our blog was difficult as we could not do this, we had print screen it to adobe photoshop and turn it into a JPG. In adobe Photoshop, the layers got confusing and you could delete something you didnt want to delete.
