- The student felt their skills in research, planning, construction, photography, layout, use of color/fonts, and model selection developed significantly from the preliminary to final tasks. - For the preliminary task, research and planning were limited, photos were taken with no lighting/poses, and the magazine layout/design was basic. - For the final task, in-depth research and planning improved audience understanding and professionalism. Photography skills advanced through studio lighting/poses. Layouts became more complex through software skills. Color/font choices better targeted the audience. Models were carefully selected to represent the audience.
