QUESTION 7: Looking back at my preliminary task what do I feel I have learnt in the progression from it?


I believe that I have progressed extremely from my previous task of making my school magazine. A explained in question 7 I have developed the use of many different technologies and in doing so made my music magazine a much better media text compared to my school magazine,

I have learnt of the many more uses of fireworks in the progression from my other magazine like pasting different fonts on to the product and making it look like an already available one. I was able to learn about the different tools available and in doing so made the text less pixalated and more professional giving it a better finish which is evident from my music magazine to my school magazine. For example using the magic wand too i was able to remove the background of the texts and add colour to it which furthermore made it look a lot neater. Another aspect of fireworks that I learnt off  is the eye dropper tool which allowed me to find certain colours like the colour of what my model is wearing so that I could use that colour for my text and other aspects of the magazine which allowed
me too keep my house theme the same.

I  also feel like I have improved my photography
skills in completing my music magazine. In my
school magazine I was aware of some of the conventions and knew some shot types but after researching music magazines learnt a lot more and was able to use this in producing my final product by planning what I was going to shoot and how and with whom. In doing so I also learnt photo shopping skills
which further more allowed me to make my photographs look professional and high fashion and in comparing the pictures it is clear how much I have improved.

Through out both magazines I did plan before hand but learnt to plan more effectively in my music magazine, This then allowed me to improve my layout and display which is evident in looking at my music magazine. The cover lines are easier to read and the front cover is not to busy. My contents page also looks more professional and not 'childish'.
