Lo1: Appropriate software to create my product

The software i will need to create my magazine:

  • InDesign
  • Photoshop
  • Illustrator
  • Bridge
  • Word
  • Apple mac


The function of these products:

  • Adobe InDesign will be the main creator of my magazine, all the layout and information will be arranged in this software. 
  • Photoshop will be used to edit all my images and export them to the highest quality.
  • Illustrator will be used for similar reasons as Photoshop however i can use illustrator to create my own animations which can feature on my pages throughout. 
  • Bridge is an image batch processor which will sort out my images quickly and efficiently.
  • Word will be used to write up the content of articles.
  • Apple Mac is the home of my magazine where all this software is on and where the production of my magazine will occur.


Difficulty of use:


  • InDesign is quite difficult to use however i have experience of this software in the previous year therefore i will get to grips with this quickly.
  • Photoshop is not difficult to use for me as i have lots of experience with this, however more techniques can be learnt as i go along.
  • Illustrator is horrible, i cant use this therefore i think it is very difficult!! However i will try my best to use it through out the production of my magazine and learn the basic uses.
  • Bridge is easy and productive so i shall have no issues with this.
  • Word is EASY :)
  • Apple Mac is easy also, i have used the majority of these products for a substantial amount of time now and have confidence in the production of the magazine.
