Michael Bangura felt that his photo editing skills using software like Adobe Fireworks had greatly improved. He also thought his photography skills improved as he experimented with different shots and angles for his final music magazine, though the front cover photo was poor quality. Additionally, he believed he improved at laying out his final magazine to better follow conventions like contents pages, which he learned from researching other music magazines and appealing to his target audience.

1. Michael Bangura

2. Since my preliminary task, I feel that the way I have used photo editing
software such as Adobe fireworks has improved greatly

3. From this, I feel that my photography skills have
improved. On my preliminary task It is clear that I did
not experiment with any shots or angles which made
my preliminary task look the same. Whereas on my
final music magazine, I experimented with many
shots and angles which have been posted to the blog,
the only problem was that the photo for the front
cover was poor in terms of its quality which could not
be fixed in post production

4. I also think that I have improved in the way that my final magazine was
much better in terms of the way It was laid out. For my preliminary
task, I did not know any of the conventions of how they would usually
be laid out. But during the production of my final magazine task, I
gained a better understanding of the conventions for example my
contents page, I followed the way in which the music magazine, NME
laid their contents page . By researching other music magazines this
allowed me to produce a magazine that did follow conventions of the
music magazine, appealing to my target audience.
