Creative Critical Reflection Draft #4

4. How did you integrate technologies - software, hardware, and online - in this project?

In my project, I had to use many different technology products in order to create my magazine. Computer software, computer hardware, websites, and cameras were the main objects I used. To begin constructing my magazine, I had to take photographs for the magazine. My media studies teacher lent me a Canon Rebel T6 camera from the school that I was able to use instead of using my phone camera. Once I had the photographs, I was able to construct my magazine. I used the publisher software to create my front cover, table of contents, and two-page article. This software allows me to format exactly how I want the layout of each page to look like. Computer hardware was used in this project as well because I needed the use of a computer to construct my product. The hardware includes the actual computer, keyboard, and ports needed to get my pictures and publisher documents onto the computer via flash drive. I also used websites to help with my research for my blog. All of these technology products have allowed me to produce my magazine Life in Paradise and my blog that has documented my steps throughout this year.
