Throughout this process I have adopted many new transferable skills:

• Organisation – The blog league has helped me to keep organised and I have been able to keep up to date with it.
• Communication – I have been able to communicate my ideas to my audience through my writing for my article, and even through the photos I’ve taken and used.
• Reflection – From the feedback of my peers and teacher, I have been able to reflect on it and improve my magazine. Using feedback to better my work is going to be really helpful in other projects and aspects of my life.
• Design software skills – I  have learnt how to use photoshop and Indesign efficiently. The skills I have learnt whilst using these apps will be very helpful in the future when creating any digital media.

So far, I am pleased with my progress on my magazine. Here’s a few things that I think have gone well so far:

• The coherency of colours and fonts throughout my magazine.
• The images appear to be reflective of my chosen genre; country.
• My article on my DPS.

My magazine still has lots of improvements to be made. It would be even better if…

• My line spacing on my DPS was better and consistent.
• I introduce a new colour to my magazine to make it more exciting.
• The headline on my DPS was not centre of the triangle as part of it will be hidden by the fold.
