Q7) Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

Final  Product-Music Magazine    Final Product-College Magazine

PRELIMINARY TASK

My Preliminary task was to create a college magazine front cover, the main reason for this was to help me develop my skills with Photoshop and learn the conventions of a magazine before I started on my final product, being the music magazine. You can see just from the finished products that I have been successful in developing my skills in creating a magazine.

Reviewing My Product

Preliminary Task

In my opinion it was very useful doing the preliminary task as it helped a lot in terms of helping develop my Photoshop techniques and allowing me to get to grips with the conventions of a magazine.I was also able to receive verbal response to my product with things which I should change and how to  go about changing them, and this has had a positive input towards my final product. It was also good for me as I could learn my limits of what I could achieve in a set time frame.

The Skills which I learnt in order to complete my magazine where:

• Create a background for my model.
• Change the eye colour of my model.
• Add tattoos to my model.
• Clear up the face of my model, with precision.
• Change the lighting of my photos which appear in the magazine.  
• Precision cutting out of images.
