The author created a school magazine and music magazine to practice using design applications like Photoshop and InDesign. For the school magazine, the author did not understand magazine structure, target audience, or fully utilize available tools, resulting in a basic product. However, with practice and by learning from mistakes, the author produced a music magazine aimed at young girls. The author incorporated a target audience analysis, conventional structure, and confidence with the applications to create an appealing, professional final product that showed dramatic improvement over the initial school magazine.
