Evaluation Question 7

Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

From my preliminary task I have for sure improved many things such as my Photoshop skills.

When I started using it I didn't know anything about it but then I got to know many things like cropping and playing around with different effects. And I feel more confident by using Photoshop from now on. The most important things are when creating any magazine is your target audience. I believe that if you don’t have a target audience then your magazine will be incomplete. When making a magazine, I feel that I have to just stick with one theme or situation in my mind so nothing can go wrong at the end. When making my preliminary magazine I definitely didn't do enough research into different things and that way I felt my preliminary magazine wasn't that good but it did attract to my target audience. The one thing that went good was using of fonts; I believe that having attractive and bold fonts stands out to many audiences. The difficult thing was to structure the layout of magazine, I wanted my magazine to look realistic however I also wanted to be conventional.

My preliminary task and my music magazine are totally different to each other but they do have some similarities like on my contents page of music magazine and front page of preliminary magazine I have used color effect layout to attract audience and present in a different way. I feel that I have improved my Photoshop skills and my music magazine looks way more professional than my preliminary magazine.
