Using the mac allowed me to use a number of software products such as Final Cut, something that Windows computers wouldn't allowed to do. It also allowed me to make my product look much more professional done on professional software. These machines are also much more powerful than typical computers which benefited my product as there was much more storage for my more complicated products such as using Photoshop for my product.
Using the professional cameras allowed me to take well shot images of my models which when placed onto my product would make my magazine look much more professional. My models could therefore also feel more comfortable in front of a professional camera and would therefore give me better, cleaner images.
Using the tripod in my photography made it much easier to take pictures as I could set up the shot a lot better and therefore benefited my magazines because it allowed me to take much more professional looking images.
Using the lighting set up again allowed me to take much more professional looking images as it gave me much clearer, well lit images. Again it made my models feel more comfortable as they were working in a professional looking studio which as a result gave me more professional looking images.
When creating my product with InDesign it allowed me to format text around my double page spread which was very helpful when writing my article. Because of this I could set out my double page spread exactly how I wanted to which again made my product look much more professional and also another tool which helped me is the image placement tool as it allowed me to size and place my images correctly again giving me a much more professional looking product.
