My skills have improved significantly from my preliminary magazine to the full product. The front cover and contents page of my new magazine look more professional with evenly spaced out, easy to read design and clear color scheme. The photos are of higher quality, with bands appearing more connected to the audience. My post-production skills like removing backgrounds and incorporating text around images have advanced. Good organization, planning and preparation were essential to finishing on time, using tools like a blog to track my progress against deadlines.
