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

Throughout the project Adobe Photoshop CS4, Blogger and flickr were the three main computer programmes that were used. I felt I was fairly competent when using Photoshop as I have used it thoroughly in GCSE subjects such as Graphics and CiDA. For this reason I did not have much to learn and found it easy to negotiate the program to achieve my desired final result. Because of my previously learned Photoshop skills, I could edit/design my pieces quickly and efficiently so I was not so concerned about time when it came to the actual creation of my artefacts. Blogger and flickr, however, were fairly new to me. I had to learn to use Blogger and flickr to blog my final pieces, evaluation and analyses. This became difficult and tedious at times as the programs were very alien to me. I transferred my photographic knowledge learnt in my AS Photography classes to achieve the artistic images I desired. This included using a DSLR and external lighting (slave flash) to light my pictures in the way I wanted.
