The document discusses the author's experience creating magazine pages using Photoshop and InDesign without prior experience with the software. It also reflects on shortcomings of the author's individual blog for an AS project, including lack of detail, variety of media used, and unfinished work. Looking ahead, it notes benefits of working in a group for the current project, such as broader ideas and improved details, but also challenges of coordinating schedules and locations across members.

2.  I was able to construct things such as a Magazine Front Cover, a
contents page and a double page spread with the help of
Photoshop and InDesign considering that I had never used these
tools before.

3.  I was also able to use to software such as
Vimeo to give a presentations

4.  Detailed analysis of Magazine covers, contents
pages and double page spreads

5.  All my work had been spell checked and read through carefully to
ensure no mistakes had been made.
 I was able to show the amount of work I had put into taking the best
photos for my magazine by taking over 200 pictures of my artists that
I used and creating contact sheets to show them.

6.  I didn’t use a varied amount of media, as I’ve analysed my
AS blog I’ve realised that I had only put vimeo, Photoshop
and prezi continuously.
 The blog lacked a lot of detail, most were quite vague apart
from certain analysis.
 The presentation of the blog looked quite bland and
unappealing, for example with the mise-en-scene table, it
wasn’t noticeable or colourful in any way.

7.  There was unfinished work, only 4/7
evaluations were completed causing a
downfall in my final grade.
 There wasn’t a substantial amount of
blog posts present, at most 35, again
emphasising the lack of detail presented
in my AS blog.
 The preparation for the taking the
pictures was moderately disorganised,
and often prolonged and rushed.

8.  Now I’m working within a group we can
plan together, giving us broader ideas
by giving individual input.
 I have the opportunity to improve on any
mistakes made previously.
 I can now provide a much more
detailed blog with a group.
 We have the chance to give more
original ideas yet apply them with real
media conventions.

9.  Because this is now group work, it may
be difficult to find a time where each of
us are free for filming.
 We all live in different locations, so
finding a suitable location that would be
easy for us to film and meet up at may
also prove difficult.
