Evaluation Question 7

Over the course of this project I have learned a lot about print production - from practical skills using technology such as Photoshop to treatment of genre. This is the computer I used in the course of my work (and the Photoshop CS4 I used)





At the start of the course I had only a very basic idea about how to construct a magazine front cover - never mind about considering a target audience.
During the course of this production, I learned a lot through making errors. For example, an initial draft featured a picture with a model who obviously does not fit the genre.

After learning this, I put a lot more work into the research element of the task, and did another shoot with a better-suited model.

This model is obviously better suited as the style of dress is much more 'metal', as well as his attitude.
The organisation of this photoshoot was quite difficult - I needed a time when everyone was free - my organisation skills were therefore developed by this, and further by the need to keep tabs on all of my work (I set up a complex series of drafts for each page I constructed).

During the preliminary project, I did not think to do this - instead editing as I went, and keeping minimal records.
