I have come to know
that my skills in media have developed massively since my preliminary
task. One thing I have realised am improvements on is my skills in
using Photoshop software. From my preliminary task, using and
adapting to the properties and dimensions of Photoshop was quite
difficult and I didn’t understand how it worked. This however, I
believe affected my performance in constructing an effective desired
magazine.
On the other hand
another improvement I have noticed is getting to understand the use
of codes of conventions. I have understood that following codes of
conventions make a monumental transformation. For example comparing
my music magazine to my preliminary task(College magazine) there is
an obvious advancement between them.
I believe that
Photoshop CS5 developed the quality and professionalism of my full
product magazine, (Music magazine). Moreover following conventions
and constructing Photoshop CS5 gave me the ability of targeting my
magazine to a wider and diverse audience as well as targeting a
particular type of social group where as my College magazine did not.
Although my college magazine also did include a front cover and
contents page, I feel that following conventions has given me the
ability to produce and construct a full product which includes both
front cover and contents page; in addition a double page spread.
Overall, since my
preliminary task I have also learnt to use a Canon 400D camera, as I
am capable of photographing and directing impressive and quality
pictures.
