Looking Back At Your Preliminary Task (The School Magazine Task), What Do You Feel You Have Learnt In The Progression From It To Full Product?

I know my skills have signifigantly increased from my college magazine to making this music magazine. My confidence has been the main aspect to my improvement because I wasn't afraid to experiment with new tools such as the smudge and the transparancy tool that is on the paint brush.

I now fully understand the knowledge of quality not quantity, that I have to work on what I've got to make the magazine look good and not add plenty of visuals. I experimented with initial ideas for my magazine but I overloaded the front cover with images and it lost its effect to draw the readers eye in, it was to jumbly and mucky, I learnt that the value that less is more and that you have to picky and get a quality picture and it will then reflect on your work.
It was easier to understand what to put onto my work due to the amount of time we were allowed to research and analyse contempary music magazines. I was able to look more intensively at the layout, imagery and articles in today's magazines whereas with the college magazine we were thrown in at the deep end.
