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

I think if I had not done a preliminary task, there would be no way that I could complete a whole project. During my preliminary, i did a photoshop and indesign workshop, and that really helped me to use the programs properly, and enabled me to create the effects that I thought would be good for my magazine.

My preliminary task allowed me to go to the next level with my main project, and gave me more awareness of the colours and fonts that would go well together, so that for my main project I could create an attractive looking piece.

Also, for the preliminary, i used the school's SLR camera, and learnt the different settings and how to upload the pictures onto the computer and use the adobe programs with it. For my initial preliminary, i did lots of editing on photoshop, with the colour and the sharpness of the image. However, as i had to re-do my work, the picture i have now used had to be taken well, as i had very little time to do editing, so i used a blank background, so it had a nice gentle shadow which looked very good.
