I believe I have improved as I have mastered photo shop after doing my preliminary task. I did my preliminary task on publisher so when it came to doing my music magazine it was a new software so I had to adapt quickly so that I did'nt fall behind. I quickly adapted to photoshop and I am much more confident on it now, and I feel like I have improved a lot from my preliminary task as not only does photo shop offer much better software and effects but I was aware of what to use and how to apply it to my magazine.
I have made an animoto showing my improvements throughout the tasks so far.

Question 6
I have learnt how to take a variety of pictures and pick the best one out of them pages of my magazine. I had to decide which of my pictures would suit which cover, from main, contents and double page.I had to make sure the levels on the picture were the right colour and would be able to match the page perfectly, I also learnt how to edit my photos to enable the photo looked perfect, I learnt how to crop out the background of my picture to enable the background image didn't disturb my magazine. I learnt a lot, the biggest thing I have learnt is how to use photoshop in general, after making my magazine covers I am much more comfortable with. I have learnt the conventions of a magazine and know what it takes to make a magazine, a magazine. I now know how to write articles and make it suitable for a magazine, and link it with a music genre. I used facebook to access pictures that my friend on that we had took, but I already had knowledge on how to use that software. I used the models camera, which i was aware of how to use and I also used the college computers to put together my magazine.
Question 5
Both models in these two magazines share a similar pose which attracts the target auidences' eye. The pose shows confidence and strength this is what will mainly attract the audience, as this is what the younger generation aspires for. I used the effect in my magazine by enlarging the letter where the paragraph starts helps to guide the reader to where they need to start reading. I used this in my double page spread too, I did it for the same purpose, so the audience were aware to start reading here. My magazine doesn't feature a fancy font as the one from the Florence Welch but it does the same as I have made the first letter much bigger than the other letters. I think this effect makes my magazine look very professional and helps it to stand out. I believe the way I have lay out my interview with the colour combinated text, to show who is who through our attracts audience by showing to them who is who and not making it to hard for them to interpret that.
