Improvements
Last week, I finished all my 7 evaluations and the construction of my three pages front cover, contents page and double page spread, this enabled my teacher to give me some improvements for my work. This week, I have been focusing on making these corrections to my work. The improvements include:
-Construction:
- Adding more content pages for my contents pages, as I have a very little amount. This is so the page looks more professional and realistic.
- Manipulate part of the image, this includes making the hand smoother, which enabled the image to look more professional and less obvious that it has been Photo-shopped.
- I will also need to add the date underneath the masthead on the same page, this is because it will make it look more realistic and qualified. This is because every small detail will add to the perfection of the page.
The screen shots beside show the steps of how I have improved my contents page. I first began by selecting the 'eraser tool' and the adjusting the size and hardness of the brush depending on how I want it to be. In the case I made the brush medium and hardness low as I didn't want to rub everything off, I just needed to fade the elbow of the hand. I then just simply pressing in the area I want and it made it less shape, which allowed the hand to look much better and less shown that it is manipulated. I then began by adding more contents. This is because the amount I had was to little therefore it didn't look professional. The screen shots shows how I have gradually added more until, I had enough contents on the page. When I finished, I then moved on to adding the date underneath the masthead. This is because it is a convention that I needed to add. The colour I choose is black as this is simple, can be see but doesn't distract the audiences. The font is the same as whole content is the page which is 'Calibri'. I kept it the same because it makes the contents page more professional and gives it a sense of continuity.

FINAL OUTCOME FOR CONTENTS PAGE

Evaluation 7
LOOKING BACK AT YOUR PRELIMINARY TASK, WHAT DO YOU FEEL YOU HAVE LEARNT IN THE PROGRESSION FROM IT TO THE FULL PRODUCT?
During the process of the AS media year, I believe that I have definitely improved from the preliminary task to the main task. Even though the brief wasn't always the same, For example, the preliminary task involved producing a front cover and contents page for a school/college magazine. Whereas the main task the objective was for me to produce a front cover, contents page and double page spread for my music magazine. I managed to stay focused on the objective: to produce a professional looking product which is enough to look as though it would sell in local stores and other outlets.
Th preliminary task was definitely very helpful in terms of preparing myself for the main task. It allowed me to experiment with main different publishing programs such as InDesign and Photoshop which was definitely necessary in being able to produce a professional outcome,
Through the presentations below, I have compared the complete product of the preliminary task with the complete product of the main task to investigate how much I have developed my skills and my work:

WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNT ABOUT TECHNOLOGIES FROM THE PROCESS OF CONSTRUCTING THIS PRODUCT?
I have used many various programs through the journey of creating my magazine, which allowed me to learn many different technologies. This has allowed me to develop and use new skills, which will help me a lot in the future. In this presentation shows the different amount of technologies I have used:
