Question 7-Looking back at your preliminary task (the college magazine task), what do you feel you learnt in the progression from it to full product?

I know a great deal about photography, keep the target in sights, make sure your not taking a shot on front of the sun and make sure its behind you. Talking from a layout point of view, I think my old college magazine's layout is more smoother and neater, while the music magazine is all angled, more colourful and vibrent.
I mastered the technology of photoshop and the software, in order to appeal to a specific audience. My writting style also changes when I wrote in each magazine. Although I didn't have an interview page in my college magazine (it only had front page and contents), I had to come up with an interview with a character I created.
The layout of the font also changed from each project. The college magazine for instance was neat and
organized. My music magazine however is more angular and colourful. Photography was also improved from the orginal magazine. I went from straight on, eye-level shots, to more slightly higher level angle shots. Though a number of them are eye level shots but I took a lot more then a simple photo of one of my class mates. In turn the only subject would be me, through a series of subjective and object gazes, I created different shots, poses and wore different hats and a new costume.
When I began writing about the article inside, I tried to imagine what it would be like inside the interviewer's head. I wrote questions that related to the artists life, and what experiences he would have had in a music career. It was amazing I could come up with an interview because I had never played an instrament before or had any experience in the music industry.
