In recent years the development of equipment and technology, has made the type of products I am creating (magazine, billboard and website) a lot more advanced and in many ways simple. The improvement of equipment such as cameras and lenses, have meant that photos can be taken digitally and also of a much higher quality, the camera I am using is a Cannon EOS 600D. This ensures when I am taking my shots for my products I can get high quality images. Also the lenses I use have a great impact on how well I can take shots for example to get high quality surf images, I will be using a high standard lense: Tamron sp 150-600mm. These will ensure that my images are up to a high, professional standard, and will look good. Something that is becoming more and more popular in todays society is reading magazines online and having digital copies instead of hard copies. This means the magazines are easily obtainable, accessible and can be easily stored, making them increasing popular. This is what makes my products even better as I will be creating a billboard to advertise my magazine, as well as having a website which shows how my magazine is different and more up to date with the social change of magazine and products. After using the different camera and lenses I then will be using software to edit and create my products, this will provide a professional edge. The software I am using will be Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Indesign, I will be using photoshop to edit my photos and create my magazine products and InDesign to create a high quality website.
Good comments on the technology that you'll be using (don't forget about the Canon 5D too).
ReplyDeleteNTT -you need to talk about how technological developments have effected the magazine industry - production, distribution & exhibition.
