Question 7: Looking back at your preliminary

task, what do you feel you have learnt in the

progression from it to the full

product?

I have been able to learn to use photoshop to improve the quality of my magazine. In my first magazine the font is very basic and the image is very poor, in comparison to my most recent magazine which looks more professional and of better quality. The masthead on my first magazine is in a basic font with little coordination to the rest of the magazine, the pun I used is also poor and really makes the quality of the magazine nosedive, however my most recent piece of work has a more bold and professional feel to it. The colour scheme I have used for the first magazine is everywhere as I have managed to use every colour under the sun, where as in my second magazine I have tried to link the colours on the front cover and have attempted to carry this on throughout my magazine.

The main image on the second magazine is a close up to make it feel like a more down to earth magazine, in comparison to the first magazine where in the main image they are posing horrifically like they don't have a clue what is actually happening. The background on the first picture isn't good either, as you can't really tell what its all about, the gate behind him looks like a prison of some sort and there is a vast array of colours in the background which diverts attention from the main part of the image. In the second magazine I have taken my image and photoshopped it only a dark plain background, this is so that the audiences eyes do not divert from the main image. This makes it stand out and seem a more commanding and controlling magazine.
