2. What have I learnt since my
preliminary task ?
• My ability to use effects on my typography effectively making it look more professional
• Ability to use blending options on Photoshop to its full effect helped with my overall
magazine production, changing and improving textures of my images
• Ability to take a basic background design and add textures/new effects that I want
• Clearer understanding that the front cover should contain extras/free gifts/specials to
entice/attract readers
• Colour scheme and font should remain the same consistently, it can change once with
the title and articles contrasting
• Ability to use tools such as the magic wand on Photoshop which effectively made it
easier for me to crop my images
• Using different angles when taking photos, I began only taking medium shots I then
took a variety of different angles and shots which were relevant to the meaning of my
magazine
• To put an image of my model(s) on the contents page as well as the front page to
indicate they are the most significant in this issue of the article
