My Progression

Since my Preliminary task, i feel like i have improved greatly in my software, planning and other skills. I feel in my Preliminary i left out a lot of techniques that entice the reader, and i wasn't too happy with it after i had looked back on the project. Since then, my planning and research has improved phenomenally, i now feel like i understand the concept of magazine design and magazine features in a greater depth. For example, i now know what a masthead, cover lines, skyline, dominant image, model credit and puff, and i understand how these things help make magazines work and successful. I also know how these features can be effective when creating  magazine. Since my Preliminary task, i had a few lessons learning about photography and Adobe InDesign which helped massively when creating my magazine.

I am very happy with my Final Pages, i feel like the skills i have learnt, for example; photography skills and software skills, have helped me in creating a realistic magazine front cover, feature article and contents page. I used the  my market research and other peoples feedback to improve the quality of my pages.  The key factor was to make it look realistic so it would appeal to my audience and stand out on the shelf. The thing that i would like to improve on is my time management skills, i feel like i started off slow and that meant i had to catch up, and this is reflected in my work. I also feel like i need to cut down on the amount of text in my blog because it can look quite plain and boring. In my next task,  i will make sure i watch my time management skills as it is a key factor. I am very happy that i have improved my editing software skills
