You can see I have massively improved on all aspects of creating a magazine front cover.
As these are my final products I believe I have improved massively. If you were to look back at early posts on my blog it is clear to see that I have improved my Photoshop skill, although they could still be improved a lot more.
Before making my final product I made some mock ups to get some final practice at photoshop.
I have also improved in understanding terminology of media conventions. This is shown in these two pieces of analysis.
I also learned that the more you use the new technologies, you will get used to them and this will allow you to improve at using these new types of technologies such as photoshop.
If I were to do this again I would edit the images, as when I first took the photos I didn't have the knowledge about lighting and how to increase the quality of the photo. The reason I would do this is because then shadows won't appear on the photo. The preliminary task was very helpful as it helped me gain a little understanding of the level of ability I was at when using tools such as photoshop. After completing the preliminary task it was clear I had very little skill and understanding of making a magazine. However it is clear that I have improved compared to the preliminary task and my front page, contents page and double page spread.
