Skills development

From the preliminary task my skills have advanced greatly and I have learnt how to use Photoshop a whole lot better. My work is looking way more professional and tidier. In Photoshop I learnt how to use gradient and blending options, brush tools and the different font blending. All these thing's had a great effect on my work it looked aclot more like a professional piece. It made things look like a real magazine. Using effects to make certain aspects of pictures stand out. I chose fonts and styles which would appeal to the grime and hip hop world. The information and quotes appealed to the people of the grime world. I had to find out about existing magazines because it would help me with ideas and styles of my magazine such as content and double page spread i picked up a lot of tips from other magazines and i developed on them further to make my own great style. I kept asking people for feedback on my pieces to see what would be better and appeal for the audience. I needed to be attentive to detail because I needed to make sure there were no mistakes to be picked up on. I checked up on recent artists and why they do what they do and how they got in to it so that's how I've made my work a lot better.
