Looking back at your preliminary task of designing the front page of a school magazine, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the final product?

Below is the front covers of my school magazine and my music magazine;

There are several things i have learnt throughout this processes of creating the front covers of my prelim task and then music magazine. Firstly i have learnt how to use the softwares  photoshop and pages, i liked using these softwares as they were professional and new to me.

Another thing i learnt and improved on as a skill throughout this process was taking and then manipulating photographs. When comparing the images in my prelim task magazine with the ones in my magazine, i can clearly see that i have developed my skills in this area and that the overall standards of the images in my music magazine are of a higher standard then in the school magazine.


Another thing i learnt throughout this process was how to plan properly, the main part of the planning which i feel improved on was when i was designing my flat plans. My music magazine flat-plans contain a lot more of codes and conventions found in magazines then my prelim task flat-plans did.
