Evaluation : Question # 7

Looking back at your prelim task, what do you feel you've learnt in the progression to the full task?

At the start of the year I was new to Photoshop and all the tools available as a media student however now I'm a lot more, for lack of a better term, tech savvy, as in I know more about the tech that I'm using my result is much better. I 've learnt that less is more; in my prelim task my cover and contents page was crammed with too much information. My final product however is nothing like that I used the space that I had wisely at the same time I didn't go overboard with the captions. In my prelim both contents and cover had background, in a magazine the background is hardly ever the focus so that idea went out the window in my final. My final lesson was in quality, as in image quality, there's a difference between taking a picture for memory and taking a picture for a magazine; the pictures in a magazine have to be professional in every way so that's why I took my images in the media studio not at home, although it would have been easier to take them at  home it wouldn't come close to the quality in the studio.
