Using technology

Using technology- creative tools

I used photoshop alot in my work because I felt I could achieve alot more when I used it. I used photoshop for editing my images because with photoshop I could change the colour balance, red eyes , background and size of my images. Also when I used photoshop I had access to a wider variety of interesting fonts which I would never have been able to access on a normal windows computer. However there were drawbacks, because I was working on a MAC computer I was not used to the layout and how to work the photshop programme on it so I had to spend about two lessons just to familiarise myself with everything.
I found Micrsoft Publisher very good to compose my double page spread on because I could get two pages next to each other and see clearly the layout of everything and found it alot easier to make sure everything would print well.
The only time when technology obstructed my control was when I first started using photoshop because I did not understand how to use it because everything was so differently set out.
