Evaluation 7. 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 i believe there is no comparison in the quality of work between that and my final product. My preliminary task, although it followed conventions of a basic magazine front page set up was not to a professional standard. The photo shop skills i used were little and basic while the contents page of the magazine i made was totally tacky cheap and very unprofessional looking. The colours on the page a dull and boring and the page is set out in a very un-inspiring way. The sizes of text on the page vary while text along the banner on the front page is difficult to read.

Just at a glace of both products it is clear to see to anyone that i have learnt alot about photo shop and have expanded and developed ideas using the software to a much more professional standard.

While carrying out this piece of work i have learnt alot of photoshop and mastered alot of new skills on the software such as how to use the magnetic lasso tool effectively and taking pictures which are of good quality and suitable for manipulation. Carrying out research in depth before carrying out my final product allowed me to rethink ideas i had previously and adapt them to be of a suitable good, professional quality and learn from the lack of that in my preliminary task. I have also learnt to lay out the pages in a more friendly and relaxed manner, when comparing my preliminary and final product the final product is alot less angular than my preliminary task, this gives it a more relaxed and consumer friendly feel. The colours used in my final production are more eye-catching and appealing, between the production of the preliminary task and my final pieces i have learnt the colours use din my previous piece were not attracting my audience at all and that something much more dramatic needed to be produced.
