Hello.
- 00:01 - 00:05
My name is David Martinez. My candidate number is 14 to 1.
- 00:05 - 00:08
My center number is us 154 and today we'll be
- 00:08 - 00:12
answering compulsory question three for my Ace Media Studies class,
- 00:12 - 00:14
compulsory question three asks how did your
- 00:14 - 00:16
production skills developed throughout this project?
- 00:18 - 00:21
To which I say while developing my magazine,
- 00:21 - 00:24
my skills especially in digital design have improved tremendously.
- 00:24 - 00:27
This is obvious when comparing my submissions for the preliminary
- 00:27 - 00:29
task compared to the submissions for my final magazine.
- 00:30 - 00:33
I have improved my ability to use software such as Photoshop,
- 00:33 - 00:37
to edit my photos and Canada to compose my designs into a working item.
- 00:40 - 00:41
In my preliminary task,
- 00:41 - 00:45
the primary task allowed me to dip my feet into the world of magazine creation,
- 00:45 - 00:47
had to gather pictures relevant to the topic,
- 00:47 - 00:50
edit them and then make sure that they harmonize within the magazine
- 00:51 - 00:54
comparing my preliminary task submissions to my final product.
- 00:54 - 00:56
You can see the growth as well as the improvement on
- 00:56 - 00:59
sections that I mentioned in the reflection for the preliminary task
- 01:01 - 01:05
for example, confirming preliminary task cover to my final magazine cover.
- 01:05 - 01:08
Um you can see the difference is profound
- 01:09 - 01:12
during the creation of the preliminary cover, I did not include a tagline,
- 01:12 - 01:15
I lacked meaningful cover lines and had bad color choices
- 01:15 - 01:17
that made the font hard to read in some spaces,
- 01:17 - 01:20
not to mention an ugly color scheme that led to a purple blotch
- 01:20 - 01:23
in the middle of the page that could be considered an eyesore.
- 01:24 - 01:26
This showcased my lack of skills and digital design.
- 01:26 - 01:29
That over time improved to become my final cover.
- 01:29 - 01:31
we see every aspect of a cover present.
- 01:32 - 01:35
We see every aspect of a cover present in my final cover, including the tagline,
- 01:36 - 01:38
the colors all complement each other and give the
- 01:38 - 01:40
cover a sense of harmony and the font is
- 01:40 - 01:43
easily readable with many more cover lines and the
- 01:43 - 01:46
exclusive feature story being placed neatly on the cover.
- 01:46 - 01:50
Overall, the final magazine cover is more aesthetically pleasing
- 01:50 - 01:51
and professional, and design
- 01:52 - 01:54
clearly shows an improvement in the skills necessary.
- 01:57 - 01:57
Yeah,
- 01:58 - 01:59
another staggering difference,
- 01:59 - 02:02
comparing the content pages between my preliminary task
- 02:02 - 02:05
and final submission showed significant improvement in skills.
- 02:05 - 02:08
One of the things I mentioned in the reflection was that I
- 02:08 - 02:11
wanted to improve the bland look of the preliminary content page,
- 02:11 - 02:14
I believe that my growth allowed me to accomplish it successfully
- 02:14 - 02:16
as had more content in the final page as well as
- 02:16 - 02:19
more eye catching features that didn't look bland and colorless.
- 02:20 - 02:22
My final content page also included the addition
- 02:22 - 02:25
of subheadings which were present in my preliminary submission
- 02:26 - 02:29
titles were also shortened ah which showcases an
- 02:29 - 02:32
improvement in lead writing as most of the titles
- 02:32 - 02:34
in my final page were one line long
- 02:34 - 02:36
compared to two lines in my preliminary submission.
- 02:37 - 02:38
Once again,
- 02:38 - 02:41
my final creation showcases a more professional and aesthetically pleasing look
- 02:42 - 02:44
as well as an improvement in necessary skills.
- 02:47 - 02:48
During the creation of my magazine.
- 02:48 - 02:51
The thing that arguably helped me the most out of everything was the constant
- 02:51 - 02:56
creation of drafts and the constant use of online websites and software to create,
- 02:56 - 02:58
edit and assemble pictures from my magazine.
- 02:59 - 03:01
This is, without a doubt, would improve on magazine the most,
- 03:01 - 03:03
From the preliminary stage to the final stage,
- 03:04 - 03:06
constant practice in the form of draft creation,
- 03:06 - 03:09
made sure I was always thinking creatively and looking at where I could improve
- 03:10 - 03:10
this,
- 03:10 - 03:14
coupled with the need to use the programs to properly edit my photos led to what is,
- 03:14 - 03:15
in my opinion,
- 03:15 - 03:17
the greatest overall improvement in skill.
- 03:19 - 03:19
Thank you.
