Question 7 - Looking at my preliminary task , what do I feel I have learnt in the progression from that to my full product?

My photoshop skills have improved as I have practised using tools such as crops and free transform to attempt to reduce the number of stretched images. I also have learnt to try to include much more information on a contents page as I will give an indication of added value and I knew how big my sell lines , page numbers and pull quotes had to be and how to keep them relevant to the genre the audience were interested in .With the success magazine I felt as if I was experimenting with using the conventions of other magazines but with my final product , which was named Chord , I felt a lot more confident with creating the magazine.I was able with my fianl product to introduce a colour scheme that was colourful , but not overpowering and made my masthead as big as possible as I thought it had to be more distinct , as this was a negative part of my college magazine as it was way to small.I also thought that the chord magazine was an improvement because I was alowed to book an area for the photoshoot and make everything more professional.The contents page was also improved because I included an editors note and an overall better colour scheme , which were both common conventions of contents pages that I had looked a t for inspiration.
