1) Since their preliminary project, the author has improved their photography skills. They have learned to use proper lighting and camera settings to produce brighter, sharper images with better composition.
2) The author has gotten better at image editing and manipulation in Photoshop. They have learned techniques like using the Polygonal Lasso Tool to remove backgrounds more cleanly.
3) The author's layout and design skills have improved. They now better apply principles like the Guttenberg Design to draw the reader's eye to key information. Font selection and use is now more appropriate to the magazine genre.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Evaluation question 7
1. Looking back at your preliminary
task, what do you feel you have
learnt in the progression from it to
the full product?
Question 7
2. Since completing the ancillary project, my ability to use the correct lighting when taking a
photograph has improved dramatically. The main image on my ancillary project cover is
blurred and appears flat against the page due to the ISO setting of my camera and the
natural light. After practising using a Digital SLR camera and soft box lighting in a studio, I
have been able to create photographs which are bright, in focus and stand out against
the page. Another way in which my photography as improved is through my use of
composition and direct address. The image on my ancillary project does not address my
reader through eye contact because the camera prop covers the model’s face. Since
completing market research and analysing existing band images, I have found that by
using direct address, you are involving your audience in your magazine, therefore I
ensured that nothing was obscuring my model’s faces on my final product so that I could
address my readers in this way.
3. My ability to manipulate text and images through
Photoshop is another skill that I have improved
since composing my ancillary product. In
particular, I have learned to use the Polygonal
Lasso Tool to successfully remove the
background from my images. I have developed
this skill from the ancillary project by altering
how feathered the edges were to produce a
more clean cut and refined finish. This allowed
me to edit my images to a higher quality.
I have also developed the way in which I use and
manipulate font so that it is specific to the genre
of my magazine, for example, serif font for a rock
genre. In the ancillary project, I used the basic
fonts provided by Photoshop which were
inappropriate to a magazine cover because they
were thin and did not stand out from the page.
For my final product, I have taken fonts from
dafont.com and manipulated them using the
Stroke Tool before applying them to my
magazine. By doing this, I have produced text
that stands out and works well alongside the
images and genre of my magazine. Examples of the font from my ancillary
project (top) and final cover page (bottom)
4. The layout of my ancillary project does not successfully reflect that of a magazine
because I have not completely followed the Guttenberg Design Principle. Although the
masthead, main image and cover lines are in the primary optical and strong fallow
areas, there is a lot of negative space in the weak fallow area and several secondary
images in the terminal area. On my final product I have ensured that I have used the
Guttenberg Design Principle appropriately. I have done this by placing the important
information such as the masthead, cover lines and main image in the primary optical
and strong fallow areas where the reader will look to first. I have only placed part of
the main image and the barcode in the terminal area because it is the last place that
the reader will look and this information is the least important to them. I have,
however, broken the layout conventions on my cover by situating the main cover line
in the weak fallow area. This works for my magazine because the cover line is large
and stands out therefore it still catches the reader’s eye when they pick up the
magazine.
