What have you learnt about technologies from 

     the process of constructing this product?

Before this task I had never used photoshop before so I found 

it very challenging as it was difficult to get used to all the 

layers on Photoshop. I started of by dragging an image from 

my pictures and dropping it on the page, after this I realised 

the image looked bland and not very interesting so I watched 

online tutorials on how to cut out part of an image and delete 

the background, for this I used the magnetic lasso tool and

had to carefully go around the edge of the image and then 

select ctrl and J to put it on a new layer then hide the previous 

layer I then put a colour in between of a large box in a

different colour (grey).

As well as this I learnt how to insert text and started playing 

around with the fonts to see what looked good. To make the 

masthead stick out I then started to make it 3D to make it eye 

catching and easy to read from far away.

Finally after all this I learnt to save it as a JPEG. So i could 

embed it as an image on my blog.
