This is for my AICE Media studies Cambridge AS level course.     Compulsory Question 4 asks “How did you integrate technologies – software, hardware and online – in this project?”   During the process of creating the magazine I relied on technology, I used a combination of hardware & online websites to do everything from blogging to designing the magazine and editing my photos. Technology was essentially used throughout.   When it comes to hardware, I used my laptop and iPhone. Both were very important for taking pictures, editing them and updating my blog weekly. I used my iPhone to take the images I needed & the Picsart app was implemented for filter effects. My computer was used for editing the magazine on Canva.   As far as online goes, I mostly relied on Canva and Blogspot throughout my magazine. Canva is an onl
