Final Critical Reflection Question 3

How did your production skills develop throughout this project? Explain research, using different applications, layout and design of your magazine or video.

Production skills are composed of the multiple sources and services used when producing a product. They help amplify one’s work making it appeal to a desired audience. To form my magazine, I used applications such as Canva, Word, and Photoshop. These helped me be able to place certain pictures and context where I desired. Preparation such as cropping images and discovering appropriate fonts allowed for the product to be a cohesive and visually appealing piece. For example, I had used photoshop to create my first magazine cover but realized Canva was a better option for my topic resulting in me making a new one. Through trial and error, I was able to figure out the simplicity and key features that will allow for the material to be conveyed to an audience. Throughout this project my production skills developed a lot allowing me to create a magazine cover and table of context that is both captivating and attracting.
