Corey Balsom reflects on what they learned from their preliminary task to their full media studies product. They learned several new Photoshop skills like copying and applying effects between layers and removing backgrounds using masks. They also picked up techniques for removing objects from greenscreens, adding borders and boxes to images, and using different font styles to make the magazine stylish following industry conventions. By the time creating the double page spread, Corey felt experienced with Photoshop and able to efficiently apply their skills.
