Photoshop-
Before making this Preliminary task I had a reasonable understanding of Photoshop, as I have used this software plenty of times throughout school and in my other subjects in college. In order to make my image clear and look professional I manipulated it within Photoshop. I then transferred the image into InDesign, where I then made the magazine. I believe my skills will become even better when I produce my main task as my knowledge will grow. InDesign- Due to not using InDesign before this Media task, my skills and knowledge was very low, which made my product low quality and not as professional looking as I wanted it to be. It became very difficult when using the 'Direction select tool' and the 'select tool' as it confused me. However I believe I have adjusted to InDesign slightly and that with more practice my main task will look a lot more professional. What skills I want to improve- I would like to improve my skills in InDesign mainly, due to not using this software before I have a lack in confidence using it. I will begin to practice using InDesign, learning about more tools and how to use them in order to make my main task more professional.

By analysing existing college magazines, it shows me what I need to imply into my magazine. This is important as I want my magazine to attract my target audience as much as possible, so looking at exsiting magazine allows me to decide what feature would be able to do this. Front cover- Contents page-Contact sheets-These are the images a took for my magazine. I will probably chose a portrait image or crop an images this size as it will fit my magazine better and look more professional. I also may have to brighten the images as the ISO was low on the camera.
I had my peers give me feedback towards the masthead ideas.I did this to get an opinion from the TA of the magazine. By doing this I got a full understanding on what my TA wants and which they think is most suitable for this magazine.
I choose five fonts from 'DAfonts' which I liked and thought would be most suitable. For task three, I decided to make a spider diagram showing all my initial ideas and thoughts. By making this it makes my ideas clear to myself. I then decided to make an interest board, which shows varied images which may help me produce a magazine.
