Since the preliminary task I have developed my skills on photoshop making my final result look more like a real magazine by developing the basic materials into things that are more eye pleasing as opposed to writing on a badly taken photo. This means that I have developed my skills in creating a front cover out of a photo that makes it look like a magazine even if it is still not of any professional standard, it still resembles a magazine of which my preliminary task did not. I have used Kerrang as a style model for my front cover and double page spread as this aids my chances of it resembling a professional magazines, but with obvious adaptions to make it unique as well as adapting it to fit the style of my magazine and to suit the reader as well as no being of anything close to the standard of a professional magazine. Their is a vast difference in the quality between my preliminary task and the main task because of the wider use of facilities on photoshop that were used on the main task that were not used on the preliminary task. I used a lot more tools on the main task than I did on the preliminary task which is obviously going to make it more obvious that I improved my skills on photoshop as well as improving the appearance of the magazine that I have created. This means that the magazine itself has developed from being a basic college magazine to something similar to that of which you might expect to see on the shelves in shops because it looks much more professional than the preliminary task.
