2. Preliminary Task
When i constructed my preliminary task, i only used
Microsoft word as software, as i was unaware of
Photoshop software being involved in the production of
a magazine front cover, other than useful for editing
pictures. Initially i didn't think my preliminary task was
very bad for an attempt at looking like a magazine, yet
after the construction of my final magazine following
codes and conventions, i understand it is very minimal.
Throughout the process of producing my preliminary
task, it did not take me very long on Microsoft Word
alone, and it is obvious there is a lack of understanding
as no tools have been used to edit any of the pictures
included.
5. What I Learnt
Looking at my final construction of magazine, im more
comfortable with certain software and i would be able
to produce another media product alone and follow
typical codes and conventions for whatever genre it is
with use of research. I also feel i am capable of
producing more complex work with more guidance
from sources i was advised from throughout this
process. I learnt how to construct a media product
based on a targeted audiences preferences effectively,
and how to work with Adobe Photoshop to produce a
well edited, professional looking image and complete
an overall product that appears sophisticated.
