Evaluation - part 7

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

The media industry is hard hard to dominate and at first I was not a creative person and I did not understand the different ways in which technologies work. In the preliminary task I was unfamiliar with Photoshop and what it could do so I used power point and I didn't really edit it. However, now I have more knowledge about the media conventions and the 'WTS,' magazine seemed unprofessional because it was a little busy and even though I had a main image it was a little confusing about whether it would be about the school or its student. I learned from this and I  have only used one image and that is of M.I.A.

Before I created my final piece for the magazine I used the influence of other magazines in my case study that include Heat, Cosmopolitan and Maxim to draw ideas from for my design and the language and colour scheme that I should use. This is useful because that and Photoshop were an immense help and made the task less stressful for me because it was a quick and efficient way to make my magazine.
