7. What did you learn in terms of progression?
I have learnt a lot since creating my magazine last year in comparison to my magazine I have made now. I now understand how to use my time and what needs to be dealt with more. I spent a lot of time changing many parts of the magazine around which was good at first but realized I needed to use my time well to complete it. I previously did not spend a lot of time on my contents page, but now think that it is the strongest part of my magazine. I was able to include a lot more fonts and texts, because there was not a main running theme on the contents page compared to the front cover and double page spread. I learnt from the past what rules to include. For example the image normally creates around 60-70% of the main cover compared to around 30% text. I knew i had to make the headlines a larger text and the captions stand out by using a bold or italic text.
I also understand the software of adobe in design more and have become a lot of quicker in the progression of the magazine. I was frustrated a lot after they had changed the software and had to learn about it more. But after using it at least every day, it became easier to understand, how to change the text boxes from text to image settings, or how to edit the images on the software itself, instead of a photo editing software. I learnt more about the audience and how a variety of people give you more ideas than just yourself. The audience I asked was my target audience and all gave me so much different feedback, it was hard to choose what I could include in it.
Even after creating my magazine, I still feel I could have included more. I think it may be too simple and that it might not have enough contents.
