Question #3: How did your production skills develop throughout this project?
At the beginning of this project, I thought making a magazine was easy, I thought I was just going to have to layer pictures and words and that was it. I was surprised when I found out it was much harder, especially when trying to find the right theme and colors to make it look good. Throughout the time I have been working on this project, I have improved my creative skills. For example, looking through different layouts and fonts, I have been able to find different items that would help my magazine be marketable. Also, through research, I have found out ways I can see eye-to-eye with consumers and market my product in a way that is attractive to the readers. At first, I had no idea how to use any programs, like InDesign or Photoshop and while I have learned a little, I still found it challenging to use and hard to process. And, even after many tutorials on YouTube, I still found it difficult. Instead, I used Canva, which is extremely easy to add pictures and elements and text. With my pictures, I was able to use filters on Snapchat to make my picture brighter and look more like it would in a Disney ad. When I used Photopea as well as InDesign my project looked one dimensional and didn’t stand out as much as I would have hoped. Also, another skill extremely important in the success of my magazine was time management. I was extremely good at not missing a deadline and making time for the necessary corrections of my magazine. Overall, since starting to work on this project, I have improved tremendously and have found myself becoming more creative in everyday tasks and I find myself making more additions to every assignment, so it looks presentable.
