The document discusses the author's improved skills in using Photoshop and InDesign since starting their college magazine. They can now perform many tasks independently in Photoshop, such as using the patch tool and adding overlays. Their magazine covers show their expanded skills. For InDesign, they learned basic skills for their first magazine but have since experimented more. For example, their second magazine had an easier-to-read light blue background versus the first plain white one. Creating a double-page spread for the second magazine also helped advance their InDesign abilities.
