Evaluation of my progression

I have learnt a lot more from progressing from the original coursework brief because I have had to create a lot more than I did at the time and to a much higher standard paying attention to. Creating a much more impressive and accomplished finished contents page and double page spread instead of just a front cover which kept to the genre and style of the magazine i was attempting to produce. I found it much harder to not be stereotypical when choosing my target audience because of the small specific genre of music affects the target audience you appeal to. I felt researching existing magazines was very helpful because the layouts and images created a lot more inspiring ideas that I was able to develop into my own products. The software was very important to the whole project and how I used it affected everything. This is why I worked extremely hard to attempt all filters and effects in a way of enhancing my knowledge of the software and my experience level of photo shop CS3. The feedback from the audience research was vitally important because the questionnaires results defined what my target audience wanted to see within my magazine, giving them a direct input into creating it and giving me a direct plan of what to include.
