1/27/2021 Critical Reflection: Question 3

How did your production skills develop throughout this project?

Throughout this project, my production skills developed in a variety of positive ways. I began this project knowing little to nothing about magazine design and development. I was unaware of all factors needed in order to produce a successful product and distribute it. As I progressed, I became familiar with the standards and expectations when it comes to magazines. I learned how to use the app InDesign, in order to create a magazine cover that draws to the eyes of my targeted audience. I also began working with word and adobe to produce a table of contents that managed to not give off too much information but also enough to attract an audience and convince them to purchase my product. This included adding details such as photos or bigger text in order to gain attention. Although my production skills are still developing, this project contributed to so much of the media production I am now able to perform.
