What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

I have learnt a considerable amount about technology whilst constructing this product. One of the most valuable tools at my disposal was my, albeit basic, digital camera. I learnt the importance of value of optical zoom.  When editing photo’s in Microsoft Photo Manager, it became clear that broader shots where I didn’t use my optical were all but useless. They didn’t carry the sharpness or resolution needed for a magazine. However, photo’s which were taken when using the optical zoom were much sharper and useful.

I also learnt how to formulate and produce an industry quality machine using relatively basic software. Without access to Adobe InDesign or Quark, was forced to use Adobe Fireworks, a software known far more its ability at creating websites. But, with remarkable ease, I managed to create a music magazine that I believe shows real quality.
