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

Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product? I believe I have learnt and improved my skills with photoshop, from looking at my preliminary task it just does not catch the eye and is very dull and boring, I would certainly walk straight past it on the shelf. I have learnt to target my audience better as I have thoroughly aimed it between 10 – 14year old girls I targeted my audience through my photography and photoshop skills. I became more creative and thoughtful when researching magazines I looked at the younger genres as well as the wider range from 14+ for the readers of heat etc. I did this so that I could create and design mine in a similar way. I believe I have made dramatic improvements I have learnt how to blend images and I now have a better understanding of layering techniques. My final product looks much more professional, classy and I would look at it on a shelf.
