Internet- the internet was critical to my research stage, as I used it to find example poses and model shots, and also to research other music magazines.
Memory Card- this was useful because I could keep all my pictures together, as I was very worried about losing my photos.
Camera-this was useful to take my pictures, as I wanted to take the pictures in different settings so I could experiment with different pictures on my front cover and my contents page.
Memory Stick- this kept all my work portable, so it wasn't just saved on a computer drive.
Fireworks was helpful as it allowed me to edit my front cover and contents page easily. I gained skills on Fireworks during the School Magazine so I found it easier to edit quickly on the music magazine task.
Wordle is a programme that creates brainstorm of ideas. I found this useful in helping me to choose a magazine name.
Prezi helped me to put my thoughts on a collective page to help me plan the magazine. It also helped me to present my readership profile. Also it is good for showing an analysis of a certain image that helped me with planning my magazine.
Scanner helped me put my paper plans and my ideas onto my blog.
I learnt that using a wide variety of technologies is critical to making a successful music magazine.
