Evaluation Question 7 - Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from that to your full report?

The first photograph is my preliminary task from the beginning of the year, and the second is my final product. The improvements are clear looking at these two photographs. My work is now more structured and organised and also looks a lot more professional. I have learnt how to use the correct colours of both background and text so that they don't clash. I have learnt how to use Photoshop so that I can edit the lighting of my photographs etc. At the beginning of this course when I started my preliminary task, I could barely use Photoshop. Now I know different kinds of editing techniques that improve my work. I have also learnt which fonts I should use for my magazine to make it look more professional. The masthead on my final product looks a lot more professional than my preliminary and this is because my ideas have developed throughout the year. I have also gained new ideas through research and audience feedback from my classmates and lecturers.
