Progression
At the beginning of the project there were many things that I did not know. The main problem I had was I could not use Photoshop or In Design. This was because I had never come across the programmes before therefore I did not know how to work them. Now I can use the software professionally to produce my work.
I have also picked up skills throughout the project.
The most important skill I have picked up is that I now know that a readership profile is a very important source when it comes to making a magazine. It gives you all the right information to include which makes sure your magazine has the correct factors to fit in with a specific target audience.
I have learnt techniques such as including conventions in my magazine to make it successful. By including relevant pictures using props and using bold writing can do this.
Doing research on media institutions is also a very important factor to find out about magazine sales and which companies are the best.
Overall from looking at my preliminary task to my final piece I can strongly say there is a massive improvement. My preliminary task is dull and all one colour which makes it very unappealing to a reader. Also there is not much information on my front cover which has resulted in allot of dead space. My final piece looks more professional as I have researched into magazines more, and I now know what looks more appealing. Learning how to use the software correctly has also been a big improvement on my work as it has made it easier for me to control it and I can use harder tools that I did not use before.
