  What I havelearnt During the process of the two projects I have learnt loads of new things I did not know before. I have learnt how to use InDesign and Photoshop which before hand I did not know how to use. However as you can see, my first cover and contents page I created are a lot different from my finished versions, you can also see that I have developed my skills throughout the process. I have also learnt how to make my magazine look professional and look like a proper magazine, which I feel that my magazine is near that standerd

  Throughout the processof making these two magazines I have learnt thing that I must include to make my magazine look profesional and look good, e.g. Masthead or cover lines. On my first attempt of making a magazine I did not use enough cover lines and so it made my cover look bland and boring. In my finished cover I tried to make sure that I filled out the page as much as possible because this will attract the reader’s attention. .

  Between the twocontents pages there is a clear improvement, my first attempt looks very poor in my eyes, it looks poor because the colours don’t really match and the photo is pretty awful. In the second contents page I made sure I didn’t make this error again. I made the page look smart and appealing, all the writing does not over crowd you or does it make you confused. This makes the page look clear and tidy which means that is very easy to read and find the information you require

  Photography For my finishedmagazine you can see a significant improvements especially if the contents pages. When making my student magazine I knew little about photoshop and I did not edit the photo enough to fit my magazine. I made sure not to make this error in my finished music magazine. I took a lot of time editing my photos for both my contents and cover. I took a lot of time because it is the center of attention from the reader. And so if the photo looks good than they will buy the magazine.

  Using Design Software Themain software I used to develop both magazines is Photoshop, throughout the process my skills on Photoshop has improved significantly. You can clearly see this by looking at the two cover and content pages. At the start I struggled to use Photoshop and therefore I was not able to use it effectively to make and attractive cover and contents page.
