Evaluation Question 7

From looking at my Preliminary task and my finished products, I think it is clear to see that my editing skills have improved. When I did my preliminary task, I really did not know how to use any of the tools in photoshop. Now I feel I am rather comfortable with identifying and using a lot of the tools in photoshop. I feel I have learnt a lot about the photography side go editing. While in the process of taking to photos for the magazine, I realised that things such as lighting and angles make a huge impact to what the photos look like. There were a fair few images I had to scrap because the lighting was off or the angle didn't work with the layout of my magazine. I feel I also have learnt a lot about the use of fonts on my magazine. While in the making of my finished products, I did spend a lot of time just going through fonts and seeing if they work with the style and genre of my magazine. I also learnt a lot about my chosen target audience through the amount of research I did in order to make my magazine both relatable and accurate. Overall, I feel I have learnt a lot about the entire media industry just through the construction of my magazine products.
