Looking back to my preliminary task I can say that I have learnt a great deal during the creation of my Music Magazine. I have been able to test my skills and creativity as well as being able to actually create my very own music magazine. During this project I had also learnt a lot about the genre of rock, this had helped me to further develop my musical knowledge as well as being able to explore a different genre of music that I was previously not as very familiar with. I have also learnt a great deal of technical skills on Adobe Photoshop, for example in using the pen tool to cut my images instead of the magnetic lasso, the pen tool is more difficult to cut with than the magnetic lasso but on the other hand you have more control over what you want to cut, I have also be able to use the filter gallery which previously I didn't know how to use, I had found out that as I learnt more skills I became more independent in the way I worked, this allowed me to become more creative as I was confident that I had the skills and knowledge to use Photoshop effectively. During this project I had also learnt about various magazine terminology, for example the masthead being another word for the front cover magazine title which I had previously no knowledge on or a puff which is used to highlight specific text on a front cover which again I had no previously knowledge on . During the project I had gained that chance to develop that kind of terminology so i can pick up any random magazine and I will be able to point out specific language that i have now become familiar with due to me learning about that language during the course. Overall i have learnt a great deal from doing this project, i have been able to test my self in way that I had not been familiar with, I had greatly enjoyed this task.
