I used a Nikon Digital SLR camera a lot for photo shoots and most of the images in my magazine were taken on one of these. I used a SD memory card to transport the images from my camera to my laptop and desktop in college. I have used this camera a lot before due to my art work, but I did learn a little more about it, for example how to use macro to focus on close detail in the image.
I used dafont.com a lot throughout my coursework. They have thousands of different styles of font with many different genres. Luckily, they had many rugged looking fonts that matched perfectly with my rock genre. I only discovered this website after starting this project through my teacher, without it my magazine would not of looked so professional or realistic.
Blogger.com is the site I used to document my progress throughout my whole coursework. I had never used it before this so I had to get to terms with it first. However, I found it very simple and easy to use, the fact that you get your own blog number was very helpful. Also, I found the auto-save feature saved me a lot of work that could have been potentially lost due to a faulty laptop. This site helped me to explain everything I had done easily with precise dates and times through images and text.
I used the internet a lot throughout the coursework also to do a research. This research was key to my magazine as it gave me something to work from. I learned that the internet is an easy source of so many useful resources From the internet I gained:- Statistics about Kerrang!
- Examples of front covers
- Examples of contents pages
- Examples of double page spreads
- Information about distributors and publishers
