As you can see from my two front covers I have progressed a lot in developing and constructing magazine covers. I have learnt the significance of using space and have now mastered the ability to use this efficiently. In my music magazine, you can see clearly that I have managed to use space well and also fill a page effectivel, without overdoing it. When I reflect back to what I acheived with my preliminary task, I am able to see just how far I have come in terms of my competence in Photoshop. My school magazine is very bare and is not overly welcoming, I feel this is something which I have worked on a lot in my music magazine and have overcome my inability to do this, as I have produced a magazine front cover which friednly and inviting. My school magazine is very simplistic which completely contrasts the music magazine I have created, with its very busy, image packed outlook.
My use of images has become much improved. As you can see, the only technique which I had mastered when completing my preliminary task was feathering. This is the only resource of image editing which I used. However, when I moved on to my music magazine, I used many different tools and editing techniques in order to create a striking front cover and to make the images appear perfect.
The use of colour is another thing which I feel I have managed to improve upon. My preliminary task shows a colour scheme of only two colours. I have now managed to incorporate many different colours into the colour and still allow the cover to not look overwhelming or too busy. This is something which I needed to work on in order to find the arrangement of colours which worked well off of eachother.
I found that over time I have learnt how to make a magazine cover appealing and I believe that this has become a very important factor when contructing. Every aspect of my music magazine links in with its “fun and lively” theme which is what is so appealing about it. However I do not see any of this in my preliminary task. When I reflect back to this I do not feel or notice any theme and therefore there is no specific audience that it reaches out to.
There is some similarites which I have noticed however. When looking at both magazine covers I can see a definite two sections which are separated horizontally in the middle of the page. I did this subconsciously, however I now see that this must just be a preference of mine when choosing a layout of a page.
