Induction Project Evaluation

Throughout this project I have developed a lot of new skills whilst working with a camera and using Photoshop. When using the camera I learnt the difference between portrait and landscape and in Photoshop I made a margin so the images and text would be in line, I also learnt how to add an image to the document which I found was quite easy and making the image transform was another skill I now have. The weaknesses I had been trying to focus the camera so the image wasn’t blurry which I found difficult but towards the end I learnt this skill well. I am progressing as at the beginning of the project I wasn’t able to do many things in Photoshop but now I am able to use most of the tools.

Looking at my skills development assessment sheet I have used many of the skills there, including the text control, filters and the layers. I used these effectively by making the text and images look more professional and this demonstrates my skills progression as this tells you how I got the front cover to look how it does and how I did it. The weaknesses in my work as the colour of the font and if I did this project again I would make the colour be the same as a colour in the image so it connects more together.

The target audience before I re-branded the product was anyone between 13-18, where as my new target audience is females aged between 15 and 21. The topics I have discussed on the front cover will make the target audience interested in my magazine and the colours used will make them interested in it as they aren’t really bright colours which could be used for children.
