3. Progression
• Throughout my progression from prelim task
to the final product i have increased my skills
within adobe Photoshop cs6, i have learnt
how to use various tools and effects within
adobe Photoshop; some examples:
Bevel in music mag to give it more depth, prelim
task was 2D and quite boring
Gradient effect added
4. Progression
• Other than standard basic knowledge of photoshop (how to
add text, how to add shapes, how to add a photo) i was
unaware of how to do certain things, for example, in the
prelim task, my model was standard colour with no effects,
text was straight and there was not many features, whereas in
the final product i was able to add effects to images, black and
white again to give a dark, depressive feel to the image,
different fonts with effects, for the text to look distorted and
professional, and banners and features about different things
(top banner, poster section) to add a more professional style
to the product and actually make it ‘shop ready’ so it could be
sold right away.
5. Use of banner
Effect of bevel and
new font for
rock/destroyed feel
Different font and
gradient colour
effect -
professional
Feature title and sub
heading, gives reader
something to judge
and gives indication of
what's inside
Use of shapes and lower banner for posters, gives a more professional effect over the
facebook/twitter parts just floating at the bottom
6. Stages i went through with the prelim
task

Text choices – what text should be used
and was it appropriate
Image choice – would the image suit the
magazine

the page
