7. Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have larnt in the progression from it to the final product?

If we look back at my preliminary task, we can see a huge difference in the professionalism from the first attempt to my final magazine front cover.  as my front cover looks so much better that my preliminary task (named 'goffs gossip'), is that i have learnt a great better knowledge from when i done to my preliminary task to my final piece.
the first thing i found out from doing it the first time and then learning from it, is to definitely have a plain background as if there are shadows or roughly the same colours behind it is so much more difficult to cut out with the lasso tool on photoshop elements.  which means i had to learn of how i would have to place my model on a easy background and so that the model and the background do not blend in.  When doing this i had to learn about the media conventions of the magazines, such as the pugs, cover lines, the images and the barcodes with prices.  They are all there for specific reasons and play their own art to complete the magazine, i have learnt how to do these successfully.  
When doing all of this and the from the run p of my preliminary task i have learnt a great deal of techniques which are used on photoshop elements.  i now understand what each icon is used for, which was enough for me to construct my magazine.
Over the period of time when doing all of this i feel i have made such an achievement in learning all of the technologies used, overall i feel that i have learnt a lot of different things within the space of time when doing my preliminary task all the way up to my final pieces of my magazine.
