The student learned advanced Photoshop skills like using layers, lasso tools, and drop shadows to create a magazine cover, going beyond simple text over images in their original college magazine. They also learned the importance of technology for completing tasks, as their final magazine could not have been achieved without it.

1. Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel
you have learnt in the progression from it to the full
product?
Throughout my coursework, I have learnt and developed my skills in Photoshop from
my original college magazine and have learnt how to do more advanced editing to
create the perfect magazine cover for my final piece. I learnt how to use more layers
and the lasso tools to layer images over one another and also how to add drop
shadows compared to my original college magazine in which I only used simple text
layered over an image.
I have also learnt just how important the use of technology is for me to complete this
task and without technology I wouldn't have been able to achieve the magazine I have
achieved.
