Q7. Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learned in the progression from the first ask, to the full product?
This mind map shows my evaluations on how my skills and understanding has developed, and how my magazines differ within their appearance and professionalism.
This is the final draft of my preliminary task. Looking back on this now, I see such huge differences in my current skills and my past skills. I feel as if I have improved in man y ways, especially in the way that I have learned to design and layout my pages better. I agree that my preliminary magazines looks slightly unprofessional and the design choices could be rethought. However, this experience allowed me to get ideas for my music magazine, and definitely helped me in the long run, as you can see from the contrast of both of the magazines together. The use of colour is clearly different, as I have thought further into what looks aesthetically pleasing and what fits my genre appropriately. Along with this, I thought about different forms of font, as the ones I used in my college magazine looked very basic on the page, and I knew I had to spice up the page more on my second try, and try and make it more appealing to the reader. Lastly, the use of my images were definitely thought of more in my music magazine. I made the pictures more professional and high quality, as I knew this was more effective on the page, and in general to be classed as a decent magazine with quality. Overall, I think it is pretty clear the changes that I have made and the way I have progressed between both of these tasks. I am grateful to my preliminary task, as it gave me the best experience to understand Photoshop's software, and without it I would not have been as confident as I am today with the program.
