Question 7

2. PRELIMINARY TASK
Looking back at my
preliminary task I have
realised how much I have
learnt through software
systems such as Adobe
Photoshop CS3/CS6 and
Adobe InDesign, for
example.
My skills at putting a
magazine together have
developed, from using
Microsoft word and Microsoft
Publisher to using Photoshop
instead and actually editing
my photos instead of leaving

3. ADOBE INDESIGN
My knowledge on how to use Adobe InDesign has expanded.
I have learnt what each tool is and how to use it and I have learnt techniques,
on how to view my magazine on my blog, and export InDesign creations
onto Photoshop to use as my masthead and so on.
The most important thing I have learnt it how to make my magazine and
work look professional and to understand how it will best appeal to my
target audiences.
I have learnt how to design and structure my layout to make the magazine
look authentic and like a proper magazine.
Since creating my preliminary task of a school magazine I have gone into
more depth to research and plan my magazine, meaning the complexity of
my work and layout has increased.
Overall, my knowledge of the software has improved throughout the entire
course, of research, planning and construction, by learning them new skills
to make my magazine look like a genuine one.
