7. Looking back at your preliminary task (the continuity editing task), what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to full product?
Conclusion
The pleniminary magazine doesn't look very proffesional whereas the final magazine is more proffesional and the pictures are much more proffesional and classy compared to the pleminary. I have gained more skills from doing the magazine as before it was really hard to use photoshop and you can tell by the quality of my magazine that I couldn't really use it that well as I was just learning how to use it. I think my skills have developed really good as my final magazine is far better than the pleniminary as it looks far better and it also fits in with the R&B look and would fit in if it was in a magazine. I have learnt that to make a magazine look like a professional magazine you have to make sure that the pages all link together with the colours used, also there needs to be about 3 colours used because too little can look too minimalistic and too much can look too cramped and tacky. I have improved by making my pictures much more professional looking by making the hair and makeup match my genre of music, the preliminary magazine didn't have a specific look on the picture so you wouldn't be able to tell what sort of magazine it was from the pictures whereas on my final magazine you can see that it is an R&B/ Hip Hop magazine because she shows that she has attitude.My knowledge of photopshop has got much better throughout making my product, I have also learnt how to use iphoto which helped me make the pictures look much better by removing spots and making my model look much more flawless. I learnt how to not only cut out images but to also use the rubber tool which was really easy. I have also learnt that I can download fonts which make the article much more aestetically pleasing and make it stand out more and fit into the genre more. I have learnt that you can edit fonts on paint which is what I did to my title and make the arrow on the A and this meant that the title stood out more, compared to my pleminiary title which was really boring and didn't have anything different to it which would draw your attention to it. At the start when I was doing my pleniminary I was really confused about how to do layers and how to save the image to carry on adjusting it the next time I opened it up but now I have learnt how to do it and learnt that you can save it as a JPEG.
Be specific when writing about what's good and explain why.
