Print Production

When doing print production I learnt some things about technology, I learnt more about how to use photoshop more, i already knew how to use it, but when doing my print I learnt alot more about all of the different filters, and the different tools that i could use to edit my pictures and make my magazine. for example: I learnt how to use the magic wand  to edit out any background in the images. another program i learnt was fireworks, I thought that this wasnt as good a photoshop, but I learnt the basics as it is a bit different to photoshop.
when using photoshop it had loads of benefits these were:

• The finshed product had a professional look
• It was easy to use after a while
• Good to edit photo with filters and effects

Limitations:

• At first it was really hard to use
• If your not good at it you dont really get a good end product

Because I was able to use photoshop when creating my magazine cover, contents, and double page spread, this really helped because I was able to create something that looked professional, and I could make my magazine unique and different using the filters and effects avaliable in the software. I as able to choose different fonts, make them how ever I wanted and this was helpful. it allowed me to be creative and flexible with my ideas.
