7: Looking back at your preliminary task (the school magazine task), what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to full product?




















Looking back at my preliminary task I've purchased Adobe Photoshop CS4. CS4 has enabled me to produce my coursework and I used many tools that I hadn't used before. I learnt a lot during the research and planning process about magazines and distribution regarding them which I found really interesting. During research and planning I was able to find/view/learn about magazines I hadn't even heard of before and I was able to pick out elements that each magazine focused on and how that made them unique which added to the final product of mine. The preliminary task was pretty simple and basic compared to my final and there is clear knowledge that my final has had a lot of work put into it through the research and planning of my magazine. I feel my knowledge of magazines has improved over the course of the coursework as I was able to pick out elements of magazines and see what/how they use typical conventions to make them unique. I also believe my knowledge in Photoshop has improved as I was able to produce a more professional shelf-looking magazine for my final coursework. My knowledge will stay with me for a long time and I'll be able to put it forward in the future regarding other school work and coursework and jobs if necessary.
