7) When doing my preliminary task I didnt feel comfortable that I could use photoshop to a professional standard.photos. I learnt how to import images into a photoshop file and how to use the magic wand and the quick select this was allowing me to speed up the editing process within editing my photo graphs. Within postioning how everything went on my front cover the preliminary task helped me discover how normal magazine covers are set out and what i think looks effective; I also learnt what was vital and needed to be included on my front cover such as a barcode and price. When taking test shots I learnt how to use different effects on the camera such as how to blur the background out whilst keeping the model in focus.
