7. Looking Back At Your Preliminary Task (The School Magazine Task), What Do You Feel You Have Learnt In The Progression From It To Full Product

Since doing my Preliminary Task I feel that I have learned how to use ‘inDesign’ and I have really enjoyed learning how to use it. Before I did my college magazine on word because I felt that, that gave be the option to do so much more. I used ‘Publisher’ however, when doing my mock up for my college magazine. But being able to use ‘inDesign’ enabled me to create the layout I wanted for my whole magazine of the front cover, contents page and double page spread.

As seen underneath, I feel that I have really improved and learned how to layout and work with more photos and typography to get a more professional look to my magazine. For example, I am playing with some more dramatic and eye catching colours as well as more appropriate graphology and typography for the buzz, plug and puff words.



I also feel that my Photoshop techniques has increased as I am now able to understand more clearly how the layout and the whole package makes an successful magazine.
