Throughout the construction of my magazine, I used a variety of technology and devices to aid me within my work.
Firstly I used a digital single lens reflex camera, which produced very high quality photographs, with the usability of a standard digital camera.
Using this type of camera allowed me to easilly transfer my photographs using the memory card, onto a computer ready for editing and using within my magazine.
After I'd Used the DSLR camera, and used the memory card to move the photographs onto a computer, I began editing my chosen photographs using Adobe Photoshop CS2.
This Programme is extremely successful, and used worldwide by companies in all fields of business.
This programme allowed me to crop photos, change colour balance, create flawless skin on my models, alter eye and hair colour and so much more.

Once my photographs were changed to my satisfaction, and I felt they looked imaculate and airbrushed to perfection, I also used Photoshop to create my front cover for my magazine, which included creating a masthead and coverlines etc.
Unlike my magazine's front cover, I used the computer programme Quark Express to create the contents page and double page spread.
Just like Adobe Photoshop, Quark Express is also a professional programme, which allowed me to create work to an almost proffesional standard even though I have no experience in the business.
Quark Express allowed me to structure my work, and create pages in an alligned, organised and designer standard.
Aswell as the DSLR camera and the two computer programmes, I also used a scanner towards my work, where I scanned money, I also took photographs of the money aswell.
To see how both Adobe Photoshop, and Quark Express helped me create my magazine, follow the links below to have a look at my work's seperate construction logs where it shows images of seperate stages within my magazines creation...
