Comparing shit.
The document compares the student's preliminary school magazine project to their subsequent music magazine project. For the preliminary project, the student was still getting re-acquainted with Photoshop. However, they felt the music magazine was easier. Reflecting on both projects, the student improved their editing skills, use of color, photo selection, professionalism, and layout ideas. Areas they identified needing more knowledge for the first project included understanding the audience better and having a stronger command of Photoshop for things like the color scheme. Overall, the student believes their newer music magazine project demonstrates significant improvement from the preliminary school magazine and shows how much their knowledge has increased.
Comparing shit.
- 1. Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
- 2. My preliminary task was the school magazine. In all honesty, I found my second product; the music magazine easier as in the first product, I was getting used to the application ‘photoshop’ again. Looking back on it and comparing the two, I have learnt a lot
- 3. What have I improved on? My editing skills My use of colours More effective pictures to connote a certain topic or genre My sense of professionalism while creating the magazine. For example, using typical conventions throughout. My layout ideas have improved a lot
- 4. What I lacked knowledge in… What the audience may have wanted in this magazine Colour scheme looks boring, it doesn’t compare to my music magazine. Editing is alright My knowledge of ‘photoshop’ wasn’t strong when I had to create this product, although I’m picking out the bad points, I thought it was really good at the time, but looking back on it now, it could be improved so much – Layout, colour scheme and more effective pictures.
- 5. Overall… Comparing the preliminary task with my most recent product, I believe that my newer product shows that I have improved since my preliminary task. My knowledge has increased immensely since then, and I am very pleased with my final product as it shows I have improved.
