How did you use new media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?
Another technology that I used was ‘Adobe Photoshop’ which helped me construct my ancillary task. This media product allowed me to create different layers allowing me to work separately on individual pictures so I can distort pictures and add effects such as an outer glow. Editing my pictures was achieved by using the magic wand and quick selection tools which allowed me to cut the background out the picture and any other parts from the picture that were unnecessary. This came in most helpful when I was creating the front of my alum cover as part of my ancillary task were I used the magic wand to cut out the background of someone dancing which then enabled me to use colour overlay successfully and put an outer glow on each individual picture, which created the crowd in the background.
Photoshop also allowed me to use the stamp and brush tool to make my ancillary tasks more interesting to the audience, through the use of stamps such as stars which I put around the song list on the back and on the inside of my album cover to so it looked like stars were coming out of my hand, creating a magical feel, which would appeal to the younger side of my target audience.
