- How did your skills improve?
- What difference did my evolving skills make to my production work.
We had half an hour to answer this question during the lesson and our teacher did let us look at our previous notes. This is my answer;
When I first started AS level media I had two years experience from GCSE, the skills I had already gained helped when first studying AS. At the beginning we were introduced to Photoshop, we were taught how to use it properly and effectively for our work. I had already had some experience with it at GCSE. I would say I had a good understanding of Photoshop when I first started media at AS. During AS; the first project on Photoshop we were told to do was; a Nature magazine. This is just the practise task that we had to do before our coursework. I used Photoshop to the best of my ability for this. I took a picture of a river and used it, adding text and the barcode. Though it looked OK the teacher said I could improve on it. After this task we had to create a school magazine as another practise. For me; this task was harder than the last one. It also looked very simple and unfinished compared. For me; I think to improve; I needed to make a mistake. Looking at this magazine; I knew what to do and not to do when it came to my music magazine coursework. Looking at the two magazines; everything just looks better done and improved.
