Poonam Parmar reflects on how their skills and knowledge have developed from their preliminary magazine front cover task to their full music magazine product. They learned to better utilize layout, composition, typography, white space, and consistent themes to make the magazine more realistic and appealing to their target audience. Specifically, they improved at using Photoshop to manipulate images, creating flashers and headers, drop shadowing text, choosing more appropriate cover lines, and taking up full pages. The double page spread was a new challenge that demonstrated their understanding of magazine codes and conventions gained from their preliminary work and a prior billboard task.
