The document compares the learner's preliminary magazine project to their final music magazine project. Some of the key improvements noted include: - Developing stronger Photoshop skills like cropping images, adding gradients, and making elements look more 3D - Including more magazine conventions like mastheads, slogans, sell lines, and freebies - Designing for the target audience better by researching genres and including relevant images/content - Organizing elements more professionally and cohesively across pages

1. Question 7- Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

2. BeforeAfter

3. From my preliminary task (which was produced before my music magazine) I have learnt many new skills in the progression of my new magazine on the Front Cover.On the other hand, From my music magazine my Photoshop skills have improved and Here I have used a gradient in the background. This makes things look more professional as I have used colours which indicate the genre by keeping things natural.

4. For the music magazine, I stuck to 3 colours to show typical conventions of a magazine. This made things not look too bright.

5. There are more conventions used in my magazine. For example, I have used more freebies, website address, sell lines, main sell line, a slogan, and the price.

6. Here the masthead is been created in a way which would stand out however I used many effects on the masthead to make it look 3D.

7. The image shows unity and here I have developed Photoshop skills to crop the image out properly. The image also shows that they look like a band and are somewhat related to music.

8. In the preliminary task, I never cropped the picture out as I took the picture with the background already present. I used saturation, contrast and brightness to make the picture stand out more. I never used a gradient tool for the background.

9. For this to match a school magazine, I think I used too many bright colours and didn’t make it look professional.

10. I used many conventions of a magazine such as; Sell lines, Barcode, price and freebies.

11. The masthead is in bright red and I decided to do that to make it stand out however it looks quite boring and simple as I never added any effects or borders to it.
