Evaluation: Question Seven

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

 My College Magazine                                                 My Music Magazine

From looking at my college magazine and music magazine together you can see the massive change in my skills using photoshop. On my college magazine you can see that the model of the front has been cut out, and the front cover doesnt look professional at all, although I have stuck to the three colour colour scheme which was light and dark blue and black. The title doesnt stand out from the rest of the page and the text on the front doesnt show a main story as well as not being in line with each other to make it look professional. My music magazine looks more professional it also sticks to a three colour scheme of red black and white. The text on the front colour gives a more professional look as it is in line with each other as well as it standing out and something the R'N'B genre. The title of the magazine stands out, as well as the 'new' in the B unlike the 'new' on my college magazine. The photograph on the front cover of my music magazine looks more professional, it is not blurred or cut out and looks like a picture what would be on the front cover of a music magazine.

My contents page for my college magazine is simple with a lot of white space and it is not intreseting at all, the pictures on it dont look professional and there isn't alot of pages on it. My music magazine contents page doesnt have a lot of empty space, it has more pages and page numbers on it and looks more intreseting then my college magazine contents page does. The pictures I have used on my music magazine contents page look more professional and I had learnt how to use the SLR camera better by the time I created my music magazine than I did when I took the pictures for my college magazine.

Overall I believe that there is a big difference between my college magazine and my music magazine. I believe this progress has been made because of the better use of technology, as I built up more skills the magazine should be better than my first try, my college magazine. I think what made the biggest difference was the growing of skills I have learnt on photoshop as I had never used it before creating my college magazine so as I got use to it and learnt how to use it my work became better.
