2. Preliminary Task
• Back when I first created my preliminary task, I
initially thought that as a magazine, it didn’t
look too bad. It is only now that I have learnt
about different software's, such as Photoshop
and InDesign, to name a few, that I can now
look back and see just how much I have
improved from my preliminary task.
• For my preliminary task, I can remember
thinking that the only software that I could feel
comfortable using was either Microsoft Word
or Microsoft Publisher, which left my editing
skills for my images and overall magazine at a
poor level.
5. My Knowledge Now
• Since designing my preliminary task on Publisher
and Word, my knowledge of how to use both
Photoshop and InDesign very effectively. As I have
previously said, my knowledge for these two
pieces of software before starting the course was
next to none, but now I feel that I could use it
again to create similar products and even more
complex ones with more guidance from the
sources that I seeked this time. The most I have
learnt while creating my magazine was what my
target audience wanted to see, by knowing this, I
was able to arrange it accordingly through skills I
had picked up through tutorials and through
explanations that my teacher gave to me.
