Looking back at your preliminary task (the college magazine task), what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to full product?

College Magazine:

Music Magazine:

I think i have learnt alot over the last couple of months with photoshop and the whole process of making a magazine as you can see from the top image, which are my college magazine and then look at my music magazine i have learnt alot more for the way that a magazine is made and published and even distributed to the readers. when i first made my college magazine we weren't given alot to go by, so i just made the magazine from looking at another college magazine, i think that this magazine is good but i could, of done alot better if our teacher had let us done research like in our music magazine, also with the college magazine you didn't have to think about the target audience, or even what to put in the magazine, so with the music magazine it challenged me more on Photoshop for example making the writing be bold and also making the image stand out. the double page spread was my biggest challenge in this whole project because we had to fit all out text in and add "pull quotes", and making sure everything fitted.
so i think i have learnt alot from going from my preliminary to my music magazine, the main thing i have learnt is the process on how the magazine are made and the sections on photoshop.
i did alot of things different with my music magazine to my college magazine for example we got to do audience research,which helped us know what are target audience wanted, where with the college magazine you don't know whether people would read it or not. also with this magazine we go more freedom and we go to plan and design everything. with my music magazine we also got more time to plan and make the magazine.
