The document summarizes the progression of skills learned from an initial magazine project to a subsequent, improved magazine project. Key skills learned include using Photoshop to improve image and font quality, implementing a cohesive color scheme, choosing a close-up main image, and layering elements in Photoshop for a more polished, professional appearance.

1. Question 7
Looking back at your preliminary
task, what do you feel you have
learnt in the progression from it
to the full product?

2. 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 magazines quality nosedive, however my most recent piece of work has
a more bold and professional feel to it.
The colour scheme I used for the first magazine is everywhere as I used every colour under the sun, where as in
my second magazine I have linked all the colours on my front cover together and I have carried this on
throughout my magazine.

3. 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
and don’t really have a clue what is going on.
The background to 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 cell and there is a vast array of colours. In the second magazine I have
taken my image up against a white background, and used photshop to cut around the image and
layer it over my masthead, so the audience’s eyes do not divert from the main image. This makes it
stand out and seem a more commanding and controlling magazine.
