Software Testing: Canva

 In previous posts, I tested various software that could be used to create the Flip Book. In this particular post, I will be testing Canva, an application that helped me create a cover for my magazine article. 

First, I opened the website and registered using my email. Next, I started to look for the right template by pressing the button 'Doc' and searching for the Magazine Article template. 






On the photo below, you can see what picture I chose. I chose it, because I liked the structure, the composition of colors and even the font. 




In order to improve the cover, I deleted all the text that was there and pasted the one that describes my project. 



My last step was that I changed the background picture at the top by downloading the right image from the Internet. Then I deleted the previous image and pasted a new one. However, I had to edit it to make the text look good, not to merge with the background and it could be read. Below are the settings I applied to the photo. 



This is my result of working with Canva. 



Reflection:

Canva is one of my favorite software. It was very easy and interesting to use. Everything was clear. I made the cover in literally 10 minutes. There are a huge number of different structures, elements and designs, as well as interesting fonts and convenient use of the editor for photos.

Software testing: Flipping Book

 In this and subsequent posts, I would like to test the platforms that would help me create my journal article. In this particular post, I’m going to take a visual example of how I used the Flipping Book . Also at the end, I will share my impressions about this software.  First of all, I opened Flipping Book website and signed up with my google account.  After I registered, a pop-up window asked me to upload my material. Since I already had my project ready I pushed the button 'Download PDF'.  In less than 30 seconds, my project looked like a magazine(see below). After my project was fully loaded, I started editing. The first thing I wanted to do was change the background from gray to something brighter. To do this, I pressed the Skin button and chose the picture I liked from those you can see below. I chose the picture, which is called the School Board, but it was too bright, so I decided to correct this moment so that the reader was not distracted by things he did not need. T
