Evaluation Question seven


Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?





































Looking back at my preliminary task in comparison to my music magazine it is clear to see that I have progressed a lot. I was familiar with Photoshop at the start of the preliminary task although I did not know how to use it to my full potential. Then as I got to my main task you can clearly see that I have used Photoshop and InDesign to my full potential to make my magazine look like a realistic media product.

I also learned to use other new technologies which I had never heard of before such as Padlet, Slideshare and Prezi to present my work. In my preliminary task I did not really use any other technologies except for Microsoft work, Google slides and Photoshop. In my preliminary task I did not plan out my magazine as well as I should have although in my main task I completed a lot of planning which allowed me to see what I wanted my magazine to look like. In my main task I got a lot of target audience feedback because I had many different drafts of my products whereas in the preliminary task I only had my final drafts meaning that I could not make any changes as I did not have the feedback that I needed.

Overall I feel that My skills and use of technologies have progressed over both tasks which has lead to my main task being more professional looking that my preliminary task.
