By comparing my student magazine and my music magazine I have been able to see the significant differences between each and how much my skills have developed from the first one to the final products.

I was able to create a much better magazine that suited my target audience better as I knew how to improve my magazine to the best of my ability and produce a much more detailed realistic magazine cover.

in addition I believe my photography skills have improved as well as I have been able to adjust the lighting and use different angles to create a more contemporary look. These included angles such as ; mid shots , long shots , extreme close ups and establishing shots to show the environment the artist was in to reflect the mood and genre of my magazine.

my magazine has allowed me to take on board constructive criticism and to apply it to future production work. I have been able to learn how to listen to feedback in order to alter my products to suit my target audience and I can see the improvements and progress I have made from the preliminary task and the full products.
