How did you use new media technologies in the construction of your media product

First of all I took photographs using a digital camera. I found this easy because I use digital camera in my spare time. I took many photos to use for my front cover, however I came to the conclusion of using a picture of a sixthform student standing in front of a vibrant background, for good mise-en-scene. I also took photos with a digital camera for my contents page. I then went on to use Photoshop to develop my front cover I found it relatively easy as I have used it before when doing my GCSE in media. The tools I used on photoshop were the 'typing tool'  which let me insert text and the 'image' tool which let me import photos. When editing my contents page I used Quark. I found this software much harder than any other program I have been challenged with so far. I had to resize my image and position it so that it would fit with my text. I used a presentation website called 'prezi'. This is a zooming presentation tool which makes the audience interact more with the work and, I felt, was very effective. I found this very hard to get used to at first, but now I feel more confident with it. I also used 'slideshare'. This is a website which allows users to upload microsoft presentation documents. I found this website very straight forward and simple to use.
