Throughout the duration of this project, I’ve had to use new programs and websites that I’ve either never used before or haven’t used very often. Whether it be for blogging my process, creating the magazine, or presenting, I’ve had to use different methods which made me creative in how I wanted to utilize them as these applications all had their own pros and cons.

I used Pinterest to make an inspiration board where I collected images that would help me in the making of my pages. It’s a site I definitely will use again as I often browsed through the board and recommended images whenever I was stumped for ideas.

I used Google Forms to make a survey asking people questions about what factors of a magazine and music magazine they liked as well as general questions about their preferred aesthetic. This helped me when figuring out what kind of style of magazine I wanted to make as well as what type of articles I wanted to include.

I used Google Docs to compile all of my research and details I needed to include as well as the planning of my blog and magazine. I also used it for scriptwriting when making videos.

I used Google slides for the majority of my presentations as it’s an application I’m already familiar with and has a lot of features that allow me to make my documentation clean and informative.

Prezi is another presentation site I’m familiar with and have used in the past. It’s interactive and makes presentations more than simple slides however, I did find it tedious to use at times as its creative formatting made it difficult to add as much detail as I would’ve liked. In the end, I preferred using it to make simple slides rather than interactive ones.

I used Canva to make presentations, posters, as well as flat plans for my magazine. Canva is extremely useful with a lot of features and easy-to-under formatting. It’s definitely my favorite application I’ve used so far as I made a lot of content with it. However, a few of the things I wanted to utilize such as general images and clipart were paid-to-use features so I’ve had to find another way around that.

I used Padlet in my evaluation process as one of the questions was separated into different sections whilst answering it and the sticky-note-like format of Padlet was most fitting for this answer.

I used a poster for my audience profile as posters are often made to look aesthetically pleasing as well as informative. I found it a bit difficult to do this as the information I wanted to get across would’ve looked awkward in poster format as I wanted all of the aspects to fit a theme. Despite this, making a poster was a fun break from making presentations and writing blog posts.

I used Blogger to document the entirety of my process and utilized its features to embed images and links as well as write descriptions and annotations. While a decent blogging site, I wouldn’t use it again due to its complications in organization and image placement.

In order to document the process of this project, I’ve had to learn how to use Blogger effectively to present information, embed presentations and images, as well as organizing the order of my blog posts to show a consistent timeline. I’ve had to take some time to learn how to use different features of the site as in the beginning, for example, I didn’t know how to embed photos.

To edit my magazine, I used Photoshop for its extensive editing features. While it’s a program perfect for photo editing and text editing, it was a program I had to get used to and found tedious to work with at times. It also wasn’t very efficient when wanting to work on my magazine at home as it requires a subscription payment.

I used InDesign to put the magazine together and properly export it. I did not like using this program as it was more complicated to understand than Photoshop however, for its purpose, it did the job.

I used these drawing programs to do a portion of the photo and magazine page editing as well as making graphics for the magazine and my videos. These programs were better alternatives for me in the making of my magazine and suited the purpose that I needed them for.

I used this camera for all of my photography and utilized the flash to take bright pictures that matched the look I was going for in the style of photo.

I used this graphics tablet to make creating graphics much easier as well as editing photos such as when selecting parts of an image.
