Since creating the preliminary task my knowledge and skills of using Photoshop have increased by a considerable amount. At the beginning I was a novice as I had never used Photoshop before but now I know how to edit my images and how to create elements to make my magazine stand out more. For example I now know how to use blending options such as drop shadows, inner glows and strokes. Also I have learnt how to rasterize layers so that I could make it look like the images where covering my text for example on my contents page the title of my magazine "Vengeance" is partially covered by my images. This gives my magazine a more 3D look which is more desirable and attractive to my target audience. I have also learnt how to brighten my images, how to add contrast and saturation. Examples of which can be found in all my images as I enhanced them all so they would look sharper and brighter. In addition to this I have been able to effectively gain a better knowledge on how to use layers as my magazine has developed and become more complex.
Overall I think that my understanding of Photoshop has vastly improved throughout this project especially as I had never used Photoshop before and now I have been able to produce what I believe to be a professional looking music magazine.
