Prezi
I have learnt to use Prezi to present some of my evaluations and planning ideas. It allows me to demonstrate my ideas in an organised, professional manner. It's easy to use and allows the viewer to read through my work quickly and easily. Prezi is also free to use and you just have to sign up. A disadvantage of Prezi is that it's hard to get to grips with at first and it's concept confused me a bit to start with. This could've lost me valuable time to be doing other things.

Photoshop
I have also learnt to use Photoshop. It has a wide range of tools that do very precise things. I found this extremely helpful when using it to create TEMPO. A Disadvantage of Photoshop is it's very complex and difficult to understand. If you haven't used it before, it takes a long to figure out. Luckily, I am fairly experienced with using Photoshop so did not waste anytime grasping the concept. Furthermore, you do have to pay for Photoshop and I was lucky enough to have free access at college. An advantage of Photoshop is that the things you can do on it are so diverse and you can just about do anything with ease. Here are some of the tools I used:

-Magic Wand Tool
This allowed me to quickly remove a background of an image I had print screened for example a font off of Dafont. It gives a much more clean professional look and I could move the words over a photo or darker background without having a messy white box around where I had screen capped.
-Adjustments section
These included features that allowed me to alter the vibrancy, exposure and colour. It helped me to edit my images making them stand out more because they were originally faded and didn't look how I wanted them to. I turned up the colour to make the image look more alive. Slightly decreasing the exposure and vibrancy made the image clearer and less washed out. After using the adjustments section my models overall looked a lot clearer and it was an improvement from the faded versions before.
-Stroke
This was what I used to outline text or photos that didn't stand out enough against its background. It traces the element I want with a line to make the image or words more distinct and sharp. This is a technique used by a lot of magazines and so I interpreted it into mine because it's obviously a successful approach.
Blogger
Blogger was really helpful to me because with my little experience of running a blog it taught me how to do so without confusing me too much. It's organised and allows you to make your blog look however you want it to. I don't really have anything to compare it with so can't say what I don't like about it.
