Transcript: The technology that I used for this production was mainly my phone and my computer. From my phone, I took the pictures and I uploaded some of my blogs from my phone because I was either on the go or really had an idea. And I went to post it right there in that moment. And I actually edited my pictures on my phone through an app called PicsArt. Also for Softwares for my magazine, I used the software called Canva and for the pictures I used PicsArt. I even edit, I downloaded the Canva app on my phone so that if I need to do something quickly, I can just get my phone and edit it straight from my phone. And my phone is an iPhone 8 plus.

Transcript: The start of my production from my magazine was to do research on the things that I want to incorporate and things I did not want to incorporate. So I first started to do research on the type of theme I wanted for my magazine and my website. And then from there I took it over to the type of pictures I wanted to take, the pictures that I did not want to take. And then from there I took it the way I took it over to do research on the way I wanted my magazine to look and the type of feeling I wanted my magazine to give to people.

For instance, typically, fitness magazines have a lot of taglines, whereas mine did not have as much.
