Looking back at your preliminary task (the college magazine task), what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to full product?

From the preliminary task till now i have learnt a lot. My photoshop skills have improves with layering a lot better, for example the way i have placed things in my current one were a lot better, also the proportions of it is so much better. I experimented with photoshop rulers in my double page spread to prioritize where my writing would go, this was something i'd never seen before. Using editing tools which i had never used like converting to black and white tools. The progress is shown in the image above comparing my old cover (on the right) and my new one (on the left)
