What have you learnt about technologies?

I have learnt a lot about technologies, following a photoshop course. This was very useful, and helped me complete all three pieces of practical work on photoshop. When I completed my school magazine, I didn't properly know how to use photoshop, and it showed, with my final piece looking unsatisfying, and flat. The main skill I learnt was how to properly organise my work, and how to navigate the layers on photoshop. This was tremendously useful in overcoming minor technical difficulties that would otherwise have been vastly time consuming, and allowing me to work at a much faster pace.
I also learnt about many of the tools that allow you to customise shapes to make original designs, rather than work with pre-made fonts and structures. One of these is the 'liquify' tool. I used this tool to make the eye catching, dynamic looking logo/title, that reads 'music genre'.
Another technological skill I learnt was to do with working with photos. I learnt quick and easy methods of cutting out photos, to make them look clean and to have lost the background, which was very important, as the photo's throughout my magazine needed to be of specific images, so they could then be added with a white outline which would help tie them into the magazine.
