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. So, to start off my website, when you first look at it, it's very it's peach and green together. On top of it, is leaves and when I think of nature.

For instance, typically, fitness magazines have a lot of taglines, whereas mine did not have as much. Reason being is because I didn't want to scare off people because me personally I tend to see that whenever I read a fitness or just any magazine, that have a lot of taglines.
