The document compares the author's preliminary school magazine project to their full portfolio magazine. For the school magazine, there was little planning, photos were taken on a phone in a single lesson, and it was created in Photoshop. The portfolio magazine involved extensive planning of photo shoots with different outfits, props, and locations. Over 400 photos were taken using advanced cameras. The magazine was created in InDesign, which the author found easier to use than Photoshop to make a professional, realistic magazine layout. Overall, the author gained valuable experience and skills in planning, photography, software use and designing for their target audience.
