Before working on the preliminary task I already had detailed knowledge with using a DSLR camera, had simple knowledge on Adobe photoshop and had no knowledge at all with QwarkXpress. The task helped me to improve the knowledge I already had on these technologies and give me a basic knowledge on the programmes I had no experience with.
I was then able to develop my use of these technologies in a more sophisticated way, this was especially noticable in my use of photoshop, in which I primarily used image manipulation as a skin perfecting tool in the preliminary task but then developed the use of the editing software in the final piece. I achieved a variety of effects I hadn't known possible before and this helped to create the right mood for my genre of magazine.
In the preliminary task I found Qwark Xpress very difficult and frustrating, however I have now become much more comfortable with it and find it easy to import images and text and organise page layouts.
