2. Preliminary Task 1 Music Magazine Front Cover

3. Looking back t the preliminary task, I feel that I have
improved in many aspects; although I at the start I
struggled with including the codes and conventions
onto my own magazine.
I struggled to edit certain pictures because of the
background in which I took the images in made it
difficult for me to edit the images and choose an
appropriate background. I had to use a solid colour;
which didn’t always go well with the main image
and sometimes looked very plain and boring and
unrealistic.

4. I also learnt how use Photoshop properly; even
though I used Photoshop in my preliminary task
I was very tentative and was not very creative or
adventurous with Photoshop. You can tell with
my final product I was more comfortable and
adventurous with the tools I used which made
the entire product look more realistic and
professional.

5. Conclusion
Overall I believe that there is a significant
improvement from my preliminary tasks due to
the fact I learnt how to use Photoshop more
effectively which gave my final product a
professional look.
