Over the course of creating my magazine and the research and planning, I have used a wide range of different software and hardware. This has allowed me to have media rich analysis and gain knowledge into a variety of programs that I wouldn't have used, ultimately expanding my skills in technology.

I used Imgflip to display all of the images I have taken at my photoshoot in little short videos . This helped me to show the images I had taken without taking up lots of time and space on my blog. In addition it allowed me to group the images and then ultimately analyze them to see which ones I would use where in my magazine. This helped making my decision on which images to use easier.

I used Pinterest as I already had an account on the software and knew how to use it properly. Mainly I used this software to create larger mood boards surround the colour scheme, model's style and hair. This helped me as I was able to enter the desired words into the search and easily "pin" the images I wanted to my board without having to move from different softwares. In addition to this, as this software is also an add that I use often, I was able to just keep adding to the mood board after it was uploaded to my blog as it would automatically change.

For the surveys that I needed to do to gain audience research, I used Survey Monkey as it is free and allowed me to create a professional survey which was accessible online, easily. I thought that having an online survey would be better as my potential target audience uses the internet more and would be more willing to fill in a survey online. This soft ware helped me to receive the feedback from my survey and gave me statistics that I could use to help with my reader profile.

I used Evernote to create a check list of different things I needed to take to my photoshoot. This software helped me was it allowed me to make a clear and easy to understand list that I could organize in a way that I could also give the list to my model and she knew what she needed. Furthermore, this list also was accessible online so if I had forgot the list would still have access to it on the day or even at the venue. This helped me organize my photoshoot more efficiently.

I have used this software for this task as it allowed me to display a lot of information on one page. This has helped me as I am able to see all the information on a single screen posed to a presentation which would be separated onto different pages. In addition to this, Padlet has allowed me to make a more media rich blog and avoid repeating the same type of software multiple times.

This hardware wasn't used as much as the others as it was only to take quick photographs of peer feedback and to record interviews with peers. This helped me as I was able to do a range of things on the phone and email them to myself to gain access to them once on the Mac, making the overall process easy and efficient.

For the high quality images that I needed to take for the both the preliminary task and my magazine pages I used a Canon Camera. This camera helped me as it takes high quality photo and stores them on an SD card. This meant that I was able to easily remove the images from the camera onto the Mac. In addition to this the camera allowed me to zoom in and out when taking the pictures and automatically altered the amount of light in the photograph, so the mage came out clear. I have already used a Canon Camera before so I was used to the controls and different buttons and options within the camera.

For the entirety of the magazine making process I used an Apple Mac as these are the computers with in the college with the Photoshop Software. In addition to this I further used the Macand its resources to access the internet and its software, therefore I was able to use all the programs I have previously outlined. This has helped me as it allowed me to complete all aspects of both the magazine making and the research and planning. Previous to this course I hd not used an Apple Mac so had to get used to all t he features on it and the different controls that I may not have been used to so now I have a better incite into how to operate the new computer.

I used this particular software to make three mood boards surrounding my potential target audience. I chose this software as its purpose is to create collages so it was an efficient and easy method for the task. Pic Collage helped me as it provided an alternative way to display my images.

I have used Microsoft PowerPoint to create a range of easy documents for my research. I chose to use this software as it is easy to access and use however, I mainly used this at the start of the course as I discovered you couldn't embed onto my blog; to overcome this issue I used the aforementioned software Slide Share. This software has helped me to create busy mood boards in a short period of time as well as my calendars which outline the tasks I must complete each month.

This website didn't allow me to make a document but did however allow me to upload, documents such as powerpoint or word documents that didn't have a way for me to upload them, onto my blog. Slide Share gave me an embed code once I uploaded a document, which meant that on my blog the presentation would be visible. This helped me as it gave me a way to upload things that I didn't need a lengthy animated presentation on.

The entirety of my research and planning has been uploaded on to this website. This website is widely used and allows me to conveniently organize and showcase the work I have done and my final products. Throughout this course, this website has helped me to clearly display the required information without loosing them due to the ability to add labels to individual pieces of work. Previous to the AS Media course, I had not used or heard of this website so had to learn the controls and features from scratch. During the process, I have learned how to create posts, embed videos, pictures, documents etc and a range of other things that the software allows me to do. This program has helped me as it gives me the ability to save drafts, edit posts and alter the days on them. This means I was able to store work efficiently and them a=edit it at a later date once I had required the necessary information or image.

Much like the above program, Powtoon, Emaze is an online program that has allowed me to make a range of animated presentations that enable me to display information and research on it in a unique and media rich way. I have used this piece of software to create the following documents on my blog: my Photoshoot Planning, my Facial Expression Research, my Compare and Contrast and my Original Photographs Album. This program has helped me as now I have organized certain aspects of my work in a fun and interesting way and have now developed my presentation making skills.

This software allows the user to made an animated powerpoint with different components and animations. I was able to choose different themes or layouts that allowed me to create a range of unique and professional documents that where fun and media rich. I have used this program to make my: Proposal, Location Planning and Institution Research. Using this product I have learned an alternative way of creating a powerpoint and also how to time the different elements within my presentation to make it look good.

Prezi is a piece of presentation creating software which I have used, online, in order to display different information and research I have done. This program has a range of interesting templates and colour schemes that users can use to create interesting documents. In addition to this, it also allows you add your own so the document is personalized and fits to your research/document. I used Prezi on a range of tasks including my: Music Genre Moodboard, Fonts Moodboard, Competition, Recce, Location Scout and Rational for my Preliminary Task. I believe that this software helped me by being easy to use and allowing me to have the ability to convey my information in a unique and different way- almost like a brainstorm. This program illuminated the need of creating mind maps and scanning them onto the computer so allowed me to manage my time better.

I have used this program to create all elements of my magazine for the AS Course Work. During the course of creating these pages, my Photoshop skills have developed massively so I was able to use it to it's full potential, as previous to this I had only used the software 2-3 times as part of another subject. This program has helped me to create detailed, high quality products efficiently and relatively easily. Photoshop has all the tools that I needed to complete this task which removed the need of for additional software, in terms of making the products, completely. I have used a range of tools within this software such as:
Magic Wand- to remove large portions of background.   Free Transformation- to scale and rotate the images.
Ruler Tool- to mark certain lengths to ensure a                 Blending Options- to change coloring, shadows and
professional layout.                                                                             the texture of text and images.
Text Tool- to add text into my document.                           Shape Tools- to add shapes to my document.
Along with many other tools I believe I have successfully made magazine pages that are similar to existing products of a similar genre
