Question 6 - What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

This is the first time I have ever had to use the Adobe InDesign & PaintShop software.
The PaintShop technology allowed me to tweak and improve my pictures, by getting rid of the ‘Red eye’ in each of my images and making the colour balance equal, other than that I didn’t use PaintShop for anything else on my final front cover. I did play around with its functions originally, changing the contrast and hue and adding different effects such as black & white, engraved, embossed and blur but realised that it wasn’t helping me achieve the image I wanted for my cover. InDesign allowed me to make my front cover what it is, with its different texts and effects, like shadows, bold, italic and faded, which allowed me to create a different look for each title and heading.
