Progression - College magazine to Music magazine
It is clear that throughout the course I have made some progression, with Photoshop and with the general styling of each magazine. I have learnt a lot about the conventions of already established magazines and applied them to my music magazine as the year has progressed.
I also feel that my music magazine looks a lot more professional than my college one. Mainly because it is more neatly set out and the house style is more suited to the genre, whereas my college magazine is a bit 'all over the place' and there is no established house style. I have developed both my knowledge and creativity throughout the course as shows above in the comparison.
My main help through the creation of my music magazine was looking at established magazines and even just on Google images to compare mine and other magazines and find things that I could improve on. I think the induction assignment was very helpful and is still helpful when putting together this evaluation because I can compare and contrast against my initial knowledge and creativity, and the effort I put into my final draft of my music magazine.
I particularly use the 'quick selection' tool in order to ensure that I have got a picture with no background in order to create a sense of a professional product that would appeal to the correct target audience as the existing products that I researched in order to plan the process of the creation of my product. The house style has improved from the preliminary task to the music magazine and I feel that these are conventions that I have built upon myself as a result of research, planning and creating my own product. I began the course with limited knowledge in regards to Photoshop, Blogger and even the cameras we were given, which I felt put me at an advantage because when it came to the creation of my product I was able to develop my understanding and knowledge on this software and I would have a lot to include in my evaluation about the process I had to follow in order to create my product.
I managed to angle the photo in a more effective way on my music magazine because of the camera use for my college magazine, this therefore makes my product look more professional and conforms with existing products. Completing the preliminary task also allowed me to have some experience of research and planning which helped me to further develop ideas for my music magazine.
