CCR Draft #4

Throughout the creation of our magazine, we used several different forms of technology and computer software. We used applications such as Microsoft Publisher, Microsoft Word, Adobe Photoshop, and iPhone editing apps as well. This software allowed us to edit the quality of the pictures we used, as well as the layout of our magazine pages. I used Microsoft Publisher to create my magazine. It allowed me to easily change the format, font styles, and overall layout of each of the magazine pages. I used Adobe Photoshop to edit my photos and set up my flat plan. The software allowed me to change the quality of my pictures and set up my flat plan exactly how I wanted it. I didn't rely on Microsoft Word as much, but I did use it to help with my planning for my article. I also used an iPhone 6 and iPhone 7 to take my pictures, as well as a Canon Rebel T6. I used several editing apps on my phone, in addition to Adobe Photoshop, to adjust and enhance contrast and saturation of the pictures I took. The last application I used was Google Chrome. This was an extremely helpful tool in conducting research about the target audience and distribution methods of competing magazines. Overall, the integration of technology and computer software enabled us to create a polished, professional product.
