The document summarizes the improvements made from the author's preliminary task to their final product. The author believes their skills using Photoshop have increased, making their new front cover look more professional. Specifically, their ability to use cutting tools is better and they have made better font and color choices. Similarly, their content page for the music magazine shows more confidence using Photoshop compared to the college magazine page. They were able to experiment more and use tools like the lasso selection tool. Effects used on pictures were also more effective in the final version.
