Blog Web 2.0 (blog)

I was already pretty familiar with using the internet for a long time now I already knew how to use a blog etc. While I knew how to use one I have never used it for this much of posting. Throughout my whole project I had to make sure that I kept it up to date with the work I needed to complete. I didn't have much time to change my background etc so I just kept it basic and simple looking because it wasn't really relevant to change any of the background colours or add a logo etc.

Photoshop

I had already had a fair bit of experience with Photoshop. Photoshop is one of the most well known and most used design tool in the industry. I was well aware how to use the basic functions of Photoshop and also some of the advance ones. I really liked Photoshop to design my front cover. Its a really easy program to use and it has all its most useful tools layed out well on the tool bar like the lasso tool which I used to cut out pictures. I also found Photoshop a lot better when it came to adding different text effects like drop shadows. If I had to do a similar project I would use Photoshop again.



Quark Express

I experienced many problems with Quark. I thought it was a pretty basic program and didn't offer as many features as Photoshop did like different text effects etc. I was really dissapointed on how plain my text looked in some cases but due to the task objective I had to make sure I made my contents and double page spread in Quark. I would not use this program again and I think that Quark is overal I much better program in terms of layout and features
