Hardware and Software












Software means computer instructions or data. Anything that can be stored electronically is software, in contrast to storage devices and display devices which are called hardware.

Firstly the hardware i will use will be PC Mac in order to create my magazine and store it onto the Mac. That way i can use the different techniques the PC offers such as; editing and photo shopping apps that mainly fall into the software i will use during my task. Other hardware i will use while making my magazine is a digital camera in order to take pictures of my model in the way that i want, using the themes the digital camera offers me, and quickly upload them onto my Mac. 
Other hardware I will use during this task is a USB flash stick, to keep all my work on it, encase something goes wrong with my work and update it whenever i make progress with my magazine. 
The software i will be using is any photo editing apps that the PC offers to change my pictures in any way and to put my magazine together like "Aperture". This will edit and enhance all my images to the way i want but it is also free with the Mac.letting you browse and edit high-resolution images with remarkable clarity and resolution Linking to the techniques that I will use, the computer will do them for me. Aperture is packed with innovative adjustment tools to refine your images, including a revolutionary Auto White Balance that uses skin tones to correct color casts, and a professional Auto Enhance that applies Exposure, Vibrancy, Curves, and more with a single click. It also includes powerful Brushes for painting image adjustments onto parts of your photo, and dozens of ready-to-use professional photo Effects.
Finally I will also use Safari; the PC Mac app for the internet, this i will use to research any other magazines that have been created for the same genre has I have picked and to also use them as guidelines to how my cover will look, the font, images and media techniques they have used to attract readers. however I will be following a set trend but adding my own originality to the magazine. 
I will use all these to plan, construct and research my task for creating my own magazine.
