Q7. Looking Back At Your Preliminary Task, What Do You Feel You Have Learnt In The Progression From It To The Full Product?

Looking back at my preliminary task to make a front cover and contents page i feel that i have learnt a lot in the ways of producing a magazine to make it look more professional.
I feel that i know now how to use the programs Photoshop and QaurkXpress to my full potential. Whereas before i could not use the programs very well and i struggled in creating effects on the programs.
The research that i did for my preliminary task was near to nothing. I basically just went in and created my magazine straight waway without doing any research into things such as my target audience and looking at other magazines in my specific genre.
I used the genre indie and i believe that my final magazine that i created was a lot better. This is because it had a much more professional look to it and i velieve this is because i did further research into my target audience and what real, professional magazines should contain.
