Whilst producing my magazine, I had to use certain types of technology to create it. It is all presented in four different catergories, which are: Planning Research, Production, Post Production and Evaluation. Within the production, I had used my own digital still camera, to create a variety of shots, as well as test shots and the final ones.

For my planning research, I had to find out the background information for other magazines, the main one being the magazine 'Q'. I used Google to find out the top 50-100 music magazines, and used examples from the top ones. I had also used examples from other magazines to get an idea for page layouts.
I had also used photoshop. This was the main software that I had to used to edit my photos, as well as creating the magazine itself. I also used Microsoft Publisher to help create the double-page spread. With these, I edited the lighting, as well as highlighting key parts of the photos, and croping the photo itself with the crop tool.

For the post-production, I mainly focused on the layout of the pages. This also included more editing with the photographs, using Photoshop. As well as laying out the pages, I had included the writing side of the magazine within it.
For the evaluation, I had used Blogger.com to help write out and answer the questions, as well as updating key parts of my magazine that I have added to.
